Chaplin was an extraordinary performer who starred in and directed many
outstanding comedies. Few were bored watching his moustache, his gestures
or his entertaining reactions when chased by detectives. Being drunk, sliding
on a banana skin or whispering his own failures to nobody, he made us feel
more content with our life without any verbal explanation. His particular
sense of humor has astonished everybody throughout the world up to now.
In a small budget film, he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing
worn-out shoes and messy clothes. On one occasion, he was trapped by a
snowstorm in a vast mountainous area. Though he overcame many difficulties,
he wasn't fortunate enough. With all the porridge eaten up, he picked out a
shoe and boiled it to eat. He cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake.
According to an actress, his acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody
couldn't help bursting into laughter.
