At the time of World War II, Charlie made films in which he mimed in, showing themes of poverty, starvation and deprivation through a funny spectacle. When all of humanity was losing hope, he made reality sound not so bad. His work in ‘Gold Rush’ and ‘Modern Times’, set himself apart from other slapstick comedians- majorly because he connected with his audience. He evoked an array of emotions through his work. He defined an artist as someone who connected with the people and showed them reality through a different perspective- a much happier one. Charlie died due to a stroke, leaving behind millions of fans who fell in love with his work that made them feel happy. He left happiness and laughter for generations to come with his work.
