Chaplin Modern Times 'non-sense song'

I love this song and dance scene with Charlie.

Can you imagine how earth-shattering it was to hear Chaplin's voice for the first time? Entire theaters had to be gasping.

[Lampshade]

By this time (1936) everyone was clamoring to hear Chaplin's voice. Chaplin never wanted to have the Tramp speak in any language to keep the character universal. But--OK---you want to hear my voice? Here's my voice....it is just in no particular language....it is just gibberish! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

He deserves to be rediscovered by every generation.

[DerClouder]

Chaplin did not want to sing in any particular language because he did not want the Tramp to be of any particular nationality. That way film-lovers all around the world could as easily identify with the Tramp :) Chaplin truly was a genious of his time.

The words have no meaning - but Chaplin tells a complete tale of love won and lost in this sketch. Genius on multiple levels.

I never get tired of watching this guy

The digital remaster on this is stunning, never seen such old film cleaned up so well. Almost feels like Chaplin could have performed this yesterday!

Charlie proves that you don't need words to convey a story. If you follow his movements, you know exactly what's going on. Pure genius.

[SamuraiZZ]

This was the first time the world ever heard Charles Chaplin's voice, and he made it in a way that everyone in the world could understand. Truly a genious.

What a creative man. Grown up with his black and white movies. A great human being.

Quand tout disparaîtra, restera de ce monde le souvenir de Chaplin…

Mr Charlie Chaplin was a genius and still has no rival nowadays with this singing contest. Who else can be call a Legend of talent but him? The whole movie is a masterpiece and still represents a real universal thing from 1936 to 2021. This is just a Genius at work!

The greatest entertainer of all time. The most talented & skilled.

He sang, composed music, played instruments, danced, acted, directed, wrote, & produced.

Did I forget anything? Probably.

I seen this movie last week in the Glasgow city halls with the BBC Orchestra playing the music score.To see it on a big screen with a live orchestra was just fantastic.A totally different experience sitting with a hall of 900 people, and the musicians,  laughing With a great performance from the BBC SSO.Chaplin also wrote a lot of the music for it. A wonderful evening and a wonderful movie .

8 billion people in this world, yet there is one and only one Charlie Chaplin

[isaiahmelin]

Probablement une des scènes les plus mémorables de ce pur chef d'œuvre avec ce Monsieur Chaplin qui est juste un acteur hors normes et visionnaire, merci Chaplin pour tout ce que vous nous avez laissé ❤❤❤

[downtoearth]

Live with an orchestra. You found your genius sir Charlie Chaplin. I salute you. Entertain the heavens. Great respect to you Charlie Chaplin.

[LindavMil]

I saw this movie yesterday and I thought this scene was so clever. There is a voice but yet no sense, absolutely genius.

Never get bored watching Charlie Chaplin, a true genius 😊
