He wore his mothers old red stockings cut down for ankle socks. His mother was temporarily declared mad. Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplins childhood. But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of “the Tramp”, the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame. 句型 Detailed Study of Text Para. 2 Other countriesFrance, Italy, Spain, even Japanhave provided more applause (and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the land of his birth. Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films. Chaplin was more successful in other countries than in his motherland. Chaplin left Britain for American in 1913 and never went back.

Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear. All the same, Chaplins comic beggar didnt seem all that English or even working-class. There is no doubt than middle-class audiences thought so (Charplins Tramp was a bit crude); this character was more popular among working-class audiences because he showed his discount with authority by using his little cane to make them fall or by kicking them in the rear. Chaplins amusing character, the beggar, wasnt like an Englishman very much, neither was he like a working-class person.

Then again, the Tramps quick eye for a pretty girl had a coarse way about it that was considered, well, not quite nice by English audiencesthats how foreigners behaved, wasnt it? But for over half of his screen career, Chaplin had no screen voice to confirm his British nationality. Since more than half of the roles Chaplin played were in silent films, therefore there was no way to confirm that he was British.

He postponed that day as long as possible: In Modern Times in 1936, the first film in which he was heard as a singing waiter, he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. Indeed, it was difficult thing for Chaplin when he had to accept talking movies and had to find “a proper voice” for Tramp.
