Paperblanks Celebrating Charlie Chaplin Journal - Ultra Lined

Celebrating Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin was an English actor, filmmaker and composer famed for his iconic character “The Tramp.” This document folder celebrates Charlie Chaplin, commemorating both the 100th anniversary of The Kid, his first feature-length film, and the cultural impact of The Great Dictator, by reproducing its final speech.

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin (1889–1977) was an English actor, filmmaker and composer whose onscreen persona, “The Tramp,” was an international icon. Chaplin’s career spanned more than 75 years, from his early days touring music halls through his rise and fall in the 1920s to 1950s and, finally, his emotional comeback later in life.

Known for writing, directing, producing, editing, composing and starring in most of his films, Chaplin’s financial independence allowed him to pursue his art. He co-founded United Artists to give himself and his co-founders freedom in the distribution of their films and even built his own studios to have complete control over his own vision. The Kid (1921), his first feature-length film, was one of the earliest Hollywood films to combine comedy with drama in one film.

Though Chaplin rose to fame in the silent film era, it is his singular artistic voice and passion that solidifies his legacy as one of the most important figures in the history of film. Artists and performers like Marcel Marceau, Raj Kapoor and Walt Disney all cited Chaplin as an influence, and today his films continue to be enjoyed and studied around the world. In spite of his reputation for slapstick comedy, real human pathos and social commentaries run through many of his best-known works. It is our honour to celebrate Charlie Chaplin with this commemorative design.
