Een niet te vergeten auteur-cineast die de komische filmweg van #cinema giganten als #Keaton, #Lloyd en #Chaplin verder plaveide is vast en zeker #JacquesTati, al deed die laatste er ontegensprekelijk zijn eigenzinnige ding mee, met die gigantische erfenis.
Vergelijkbare stijlkenmerken die terugkomen in Tati's filmoeuvre zijn de Keatoneske tableaux vivants (getuige de weinige close-ups en medium shots, oftwel een l'école du regard) en het gevecht tegen de (huiselijke, moderne) elementen.
Il 15 ottobre 1940 si tenne la prima di The Great Dictator di Charlie Chaplin, noto in Italia come Il grande dittatore. https://www.lasinistraquotidiana.it/charlie-chaplin-protagonista-del-novecento/

Charlie #Chaplin’s final speech in ‘ #TheGreatDictator’ — 1940.
Some of his friends tried to talk him out of the speech. One said the speech would cost him a million dollars at the box office.
Chaplin, “Well, I don't care if it's five million."
I always had a weird crush on Maggie Smith when I was a young kid. Kind of like a pop star one you’d get from seeing them on TV.
For some people, it was Bowie doing ‘Starman’ or Kate Bush or whatever. But Smith? She was meta & smart, like Rita Hayworth with added, alien, Brecht-Bowie-Chaplin energy.
I kept seeing her being all cool and being *in* a role, and offering commentary *on* the character at the same time. Winking at the audience.
Il 21 giugno del 1915 uscì uno dei primi grandi film "politici" di Charlie Chaplin: Work.
