PLEASE HELP! MEDAL! Why was Charlie Chaplin were so greatly admired in this decade? (1920's)
Charlie Chaplin made audiences laugh, but he also made us feel. His films often balanced delicately, as poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti observes, on “a fine line between sentiment and sentimentality.” Buster Keaton may not have elicited as much laughter or emotion as Chaplin, but his comedy was at least as creative – particularly throughout the 1920s when he took great risks both physically and financially. Harold Lloyd lacked the vaudeville training and natural comedy of Chaplin and Keaton, yet he could make us laugh as hard as we did when watching Chaplin, and could elicit as much sympathy and suspense as Keaton, but he had to work harder at being funny. And work he did, churning out more pictures over the course of his very prolific film career than Chaplin and Keaton combined. But, although Harold Lloyd rivaled Chaplin’s box OFFICE success and earnings, his place in film history is sometimes dismissed by critics and is overshadowed by the great talents of his two main comedy contemporaries.
It's very wrong to copy/paste and not cite the work. http://www.highbrowmagazine.com/4286-remembering-harold-lloyd-third-genius-silent-comedy
sorry
It's alright, just always make sure you cite because it can get you in a lot of trouble if you dont, which is considered plagiarizing.
