Chaplin - 1992

This is Charles Chaplin's life from childhood to the victory of the Academy Award for his career. I really enjoyed every scene about Chaplin's performances, so funny , but I did not like the story of his life and his women, because I love the artist, not the man who kept going after young girls and then marry them so to make it okay :-/ I also did not like the scenes when he was old, telling his story to Anthony Hopkings, because making a young man look old is the most difficult thing, as well as pretending to be old when you're very young.
Robert Downey Jr was great as Charlot, I'd say this is his best role. There were also Kevin Kline as famous actor and Charlie's great friend Fairbanks; Geraldine Chaplin as his mother :-) when in real life she's the real thing, the daughter of the real Chaplin.
Dan Aykroyd as the first movie director to hire Chaplin and make him famous. David Duchovny as the cameraman working for him; Marisa Tomei as an actress, also working for him; Milla Yovovich  as the first underage girl he slept with after he was rich and famous :-/. The film shows how his famous Charlot character was born, how he dealt with the innovation of sound; there were lots of bits taken from Chaplin's real movies, and he was just so funny. He only thought of being funny, didn't care about diplomacy, and one day Hoover had him exhiles from America. I mean, he was born British, but America had made him famous, he had lived there a long time and loved it, but he was exhiled from it. He went back when the Academy invited him, to present him with an award. We see the old Chaplin afraid to be obsolete, until he hears the audience laugh watching bits of his work :-)
Basically the best scenes were when we saw his work: actual footage of old films or RDJr playing the drunk-man-act or other funny movements.
It's astounding, almost unbelievable, how his work is still adorable and hilarious after all this time, but it is, simply irresistible.
