卓别林是当之无愧的电影大师！ 电影是1975年完成，两年后卓别林就去世了。卓别林不仅仅是那个著名的喜剧演员、塑造了那个著名的流浪汉，而且他在很多方面彻底的改变了电影。 卓别林的出现伴随着20年代默片黄金时代，在那时形成了美国电影中最早的一种类型片——喜剧片。而卓别林的喜 剧形象不同于以往出现的“丑角”。丑角来源于古代国王身边的小丑，他们负责取悦国王，仅仅是取悦。而且卓别林的喜剧形象不仅仅有取悦、逗乐的成分，还承担了对社会的思索和批判。这也是为什么后来他在美国受到各种各样的指责，以致不得不远走欧洲。但最后在1972年，奥斯卡无法不面对卓别林的伟大成就，而为他颁发终身成就奖。评语称：他为世界电影作出了无法估量的伟大贡献…… 卓别林塑造了著名的“夏尔洛”，那个礼帽、拐棍、西装、鸭子步的形象。正是这种抽象的造型表现，形成了他自己的电影美学体系。相比于他松散的剧情设计，他更强调表演。于是卓别林的电影的重点是造型的艺术，那塑造那个样子才是电影的核心。这甚至影响到20年代兴起的欧洲先锋电影运动。达达主义、抽象主义、表现主义、超现实主义都在这场运动中兴起。法国先锋派最先接受了这种“造型”艺术的表现力。他们评论：“夏尔洛”无疑是“纯电影”的上帝。
