from his teen years through to his octogenarian days, in director Richard Attenborough's
biopic.

one of Chaplin's wife (who is only 16 years old. Most of Chaplin's wives were under age).
VIOLENCE/GORE 0 - None.
PROFANITY 2 - A little, mainly sporadic, mainly scatological language.
Nothing too serious. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Chaplin was involved in many controversies: romances with
underage women, he was involved in a paternity suit and he was accused of communist
leanings.
MESSAGE - The life of Charlie Chaplin is inspirational, and an important
part of the history of cinema. Talent and perseverance will be rewarded.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
