Exactly. The capitalism Chaplin was constantly critiquing, either directly or obliquely, has no room for spirituality in any real sense. You have its propagandists constantly recruiting a bastardized version of "Christianity" to their cause, but behind the propaganda is a view of humanity that prioritizes self-serving acquisitiveness and has no room for empathy, compassion, or mutual support. Without any of these qualities, life is reduced to a dog-eat-dog existence, and may the most arrogant bully "win."
Thank you! I grew up in a broken family, but whenever Chaplin was on tv we were aloud to stay up late to see it. In retrospect I think it helped us all to heal respectevly. The tramp - which of course was Charlie Chaplin! :) gave us this alien or forgotten thing: dignity.
Growing up in communist Poland as a child, we were exposed to Charlie Chaplin films almost all the time. Upon my arrival to America in 1984, to my suprise, his films were none existent on regular television.
A visionary genius Charlie Chaplin was. (A heart of "awe.")❤ With deep reverence to the both of you again for this journey of artistic merit. 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
Like Shakespeare, every nuance of human experience can be found in Chaplin's work. But from the most common and materially impoverished perspective. Hope and humour, pathos, love and the cruel indignities endured by the powerless. Chaplin's subversiveness - exposing a dehumanizing world that's only superficially different today - is remarkable. This is a great discussion and, as someone comments, would play well on Turner Classics.
Thank you! Love Charlot! I think Jerry Lewis took from his work. Yeah, obviously mostly from S. Laurel, who appears in The Bell Boy (a movie with sound but no dialogue). Cinderfella followed Bell Boy, which telltales of Chaplin show up a lot, and is a masterpiece. Lewis was also very progressive politically as well as artistically.
I'm glad someone made this comment. In The Ladies Man there is play back and forth with his real screen writer Bill Richman. The Patsy also comes to mind where non verbal scenes are an important element. And seeing Count Basie in The White Room scene of The Ladies Man still is cause for amazement for me.
He held out in making talkies because there was nothing that needed to be said with sound that couldn't be acted out. He didn't make a talkie ("The Great Dictator" 1940) until he had something to say. When he died, he wanted all his films destroyed, bit his wife, Oona O'Neill, stepped in and prevented it. She also opened his vaults and for a man that wanted his films destroyed he had saved every piece of film he shot. In a lot of cases, he would work on a gag, and it wouldn't show up in a film until years later.
Love the humanism that brings Chris's journalism together with aesthetics, as in this case. But I was intrigued to learn about Chaplin's political commitments and the FBI running him out of the country, and the details here were too sparse. Can anyone help out?
In Modern Times, the only way we hear people speak is mediated through technology (the view screen, radio, etc.)--until Chaplin sings his song, which turns out to be gibberish.... 🤔

Great interview, as usual, from Hedges. It's a shame that Brest is more or less retired from film. That he essentially backed away when Gigli bombed is too bad. Plenty of directors deliver bombs but move on to create pictures that more or less cancel out previous failures. I don't criticize his decision, but he was clearly a smart director capable of delivering. I think he could find a path back in with an amazing independent film. I hope one day he does that.
The truth about injustice and the denial of dignity to the powerless is such a penetrating insightful indictment of late stage capitalism was just too powerful for Americas gate keepers.

Excellent two parts. Never never get enough of Charlie history/films.
Excellent. You can tell Chris really enjoyed this interview, almost like a child, wiggling his legs while sitting.
❤Chaplin so in touch with spirit. That’s why he got kicked out of the US

Why does this have so few views and should we send it to turner classic movies, because this is a fantastic conversation.

Thanks gentlemen
Wow. Brilliant.
Named a new kitty Chaplin; he showed up homeless but he's a charmer even with the clipped ear. Chaplin is supreme😅
14:29 you've created that emotion in "Scent of woman"! Quite definitely!
One of my top 5 anarchists. Proudhon number 1 of course.

Huston spoke about being wary of music dictating emotions of the cinema viewer.
Why I think documentaries should be music free.

"Hitting the wall"~ i can relate!
I think I understand this one too
It's done its ok you have to stop now,
At this point
Leave it, or you lose it !
Actually make it worse, break it.... It's finished~
However
For some items
You can return much later
Weeks or even years
Suddenly you see what was "wrong' with it
And the reverse can also happen!
You loved it at the time!
Now! You hate it!
Of course that's only in your own perception.
And it's also very interesting
That this is only your opinion,
Everyone else
Sees something else don't they
Everyone's perception,
(Of the same thing)
Is unique only to them
This whole genre of cinema and comedy
Absolutely facinating, thankyou Chris for looking at it
And sharing it ~ its wonderful how informative it is of the times, the people, immigration, humour, language
And the absence of it! The conditions the country, the
Dynamics the "politics", big "P" small "p"
The sofistication of people
Ever different, yet ever stay the same...
Even Theodor Adorno admired Chaplin!
Well said and explained, thanks
What a fantastic two-part series! By the way, Woody Allen's predecessor wasn't the Marx Brothers but Eddie Cantor.
Thank you

The terminal d in Godard is silent. The singular of “phenomena” is “phenomenon “; Hedges consistently gets this wrong.
A disaster! A common mistake in pronunciation and use of a plural is the downfall of civilization
