A good and necessary walk for the origins and the first times of the cinema, @ladyrebecca. Your information and comments about Chaplin are a nice tribute to who was undoubtedly one of the main souls of the seventh art. For a long time and among a large number of spectators, Chaplin's films were taken as mere fun (and were undoubtedly very funny, we owe a lot of our joy). But, we know that there was also a humanistic, critical and proactive substratum to life, for which we should also be grateful.
I have not found the time to dedicate myself to doing the series about the cinema that I have proposed, but I hope to make it come soon. We will be in dialogue. Greetings.
