Narrated by Sydney Pollack, film critic Richard Schickel's dazzling two-hour plus documentary to one of the towering figures in film: Charles Chaplin. Hardcore Chaplin fans may not find much new material here, but more unfamiliar admirers will gain some valuable information about one of the most famous personalities of the 20th century. Schickel has constructed the documentary as a chronological survey of Chaplin's work, starting with his most significant shorts and covering all of his features. Schickel supports his narration with testimony from artists familiar with Chaplin's work and family members who offer personal insights into the comedian's life. The documentary plays down but doesn't ignore the controversies that swirled around Chaplin's private life. But the main focus is on the films. They include some of the best-loved movies of all time. Clips from "Kid Auto Races at Venice," the 1914 Keystone short in which Chaplin first used his Tramp costume, reveal a startlingly modern technique and sensibility, as if the filmmakers were predicting and mocking reality TV. Subsequent shorts show Chaplin refining his 'Little Tramp' character while absorbing the essentials of filmmaking. By the time he made "Easy Street," in 1917, Chaplin had perfected a combination of knockabout farce and Victorian sentiment that still proves irresistible. Chaplin's early features, including "The Kid," "The Gold Rush" and "City Lights," were such blockbuster hits that he could essentially ignore the coming of sound for almost a decade. Those making appearances on the program include Woody Allen, Richard Attenborough, Jeanine Basinger, Claire Bloom, Geraldine Chaplin. Sydney Chaplin, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Milos Forman, Bill Irwin, Norman Lloyd, Marcel Marceau, David Raksin, David Robinson, Andrew Sarris, Martin Scorsese and Jeffrey Vance.

最近看了很多卓别林的电影，很喜欢他塑造的那个可爱的小流浪汉的形象，对他的奇思妙想也常常赞叹不已，昨天开始看他的自传，今天刚好有空就看看这部纪录片。毫无疑问，他是个伟大的演员，他是个影响力巨大的名人，他也是个有许多弱点和痛苦的普通人。非常敬佩他。
人们热衷于他舞台上的光鲜，倾倒于他超人的才华，在舞台上他重复着我们的故事与人性，可在舞台下他就是他自己，有迷茫，有失败，有着自己的七情六欲，别说你不爱真实的他，正是这样的真实，才有了超越了一笑了之的感动，有了无人能及的丰碑。
"我是个艺术家,我对钱这事不太擅长.我只知道我要一百万."活着的时候他是不装逼会死星人.业余生活家,职业生存家.自作自受自我陶醉有争议才有亮点的查理卓别林.是非之后他就是无可替代的艺术家!
在我还只是个小学生的年代，和爸妈在家里看了这部纪录片，从那时候开始喜欢了电影，喜欢了用镜头语言讲故事的卓别林，喜欢他记录电影的拍摄手法和历史，都是用电影去呈现。
从天堂堕入凡间，这样才离我们这些凡夫俗子更近一些；最后看到舞台春秋他和巴斯特基顿一起，两个老头子依然继续着自己的表演，只是属于他们的荣光早已消逝
三星半。这是别人眼中的卓别林，他的作品，他的生活，他的成功与失败。他知道如何让别人开心，而当人生的幕布落下，却尽显寂寞与忧伤。
多么伟大的艺术天才，本片的编排也很到位，评价与影片资料融合得恰到好处，氛围轻松却也透露出一种无可奈何的遗憾感，总的来说很精彩。
查理传奇的一生和无数的片子拼成了这部大部头纪录片。另，老马丁真是电影纪录片的常客，他表达的方式和语调听起来都很舒服。
想象不到自己居然看完了，桌大师在世可能也会给这个传记片好评吧。下次再看看巴斯特·基顿的片儿。
告诉他们我是个艺术家，我对钱的事不懂，我只知道我要一百万（解说大独裁者那一段犹为精彩到位）
一般吧……按时间顺序梳理卓别林作品生平之类的，采访他的亲人，共事过的人，受他影响的导演
卓别林就是电影之光。电影史上最闪耀的光芒。谁若对他视而不见，谁就没真正的看过电影。
