Charles Chaplin became famous during the era of silent cinema, when he created the image of the intellectual-stroller Charlie, a shy, thievish little man who bravely opposed the injustice. And even when in 1927 they began to make sound films, Chaplin remained faithful to his former silent image for another decade. During his life he performed 80 roles and became known throughout the world as a comedian, but he was also a screenwriter, director, producer and even composer of his own films. Chaplin was awarded many international prizes, but his main award is the love of the public.
