Question

Perhaps the most famous name in the world of silent movies is Charlie Chaplin. This may seem a little bit lucky since both moving pictures and Charlie Chaplin were born in the same year, 1889. Sadly, Charlie’s father died when Charlie was only five years old, and his mother was sent to a mental hospital (精神病院). 1.

Things seemed bad for Charlie, but he had a bright, likeable (讨人喜欢的) personality and tried to get small parts in performance around London. 2. He got a part in a show performing in the United States. Seven years later, he got his first major part in a film.

Charlie was a quick success in the movie theaters. 3. By 1915, he could make over $1,259 a week, which was a huge amount of money at that time. 4.

Even when sound movies became popular in 1923, he continued to make silent pictures. Charlie knew that the silence was a great part of what made his movies so funny. 5. when almost everyone else had changed to sound movies. However, Charlie was still one of the world’s greatest film stars.
