The Wonderful Mr. Chaplin

The revolution of talented slapstick performers such as Charlie Chaplin helped catapult film into the mainstream's attention.  He used his unique style of the bowler's cap and the (pseudo) Hitler stache to create a likeable fellow who everbody could relate to.  He was a hapless and goofy, yet hard working, everyman who would occasionally get a break.  The fact he could make us laugh, made it even more so enticing.  Thank you Chaplin, for without you, there would be film making would not exist.
