A most entertaining biography and a very interesting life, filled with a lot of grief and happiness. I was surprised to find out how many important figures at the time where either friends or good acquaintances with Charlie Chaplin, as well as how many things haven't changed since nearly a century ago. One could say he wasn't born at the right time, that in our time he would've accomplished more, without the censorship and the limitations of cinematography back in the day, but I think that exactly because of those he was able to create so many masterpieces and become the genius we all know. He would also, most definitely, suffer from some #MeToo backlash, given his numerous flings and relationships.
