Basically, I liked this film and think it was well done. It does not present anything new but does include the most important films and selects very nice scenes from the work for the Chaplin lover to enjoy again. This alone makes the film worth seeing. It is interesting to hear the views of great directors and actors, though occasionally they seem a bit too gushing and exaggerated. Certainly Chaplin's greatness is hard to overestimate but every scene he did, even some very good ones, are not breathtaking works of genius. Woody Allen as usual can't be outdone by anyone, even Chaplin, so his comment about the Hitler globe scene is as glib and arrogant as Johnny Depp's is overblown. But all in all this is a very informative and well filmed review of Charlie Chaplin's life and work as one might hope for. Anyone who doesn't see the point of such films can just avoid seeing them since the title pretty much says what it will be about. If you have no interest in the theme or are already an expert who no longer gets enjoyment in seeing the work excerpted, don't watch such films.
