It is no surprise that with the rise of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the growing anger of the 99% over the rampant greed and disinformation that exists in our society, that someone would put Charlie's poignant words from The Great Dictator to images from those things that plague mankind today. The words and theme of Chaplin's speech ring as true today as they did then.

Recently, I viewed the movie The Great Dictator that starred the late, great comic genius- Charlie Chaplin. The film is a satire about Adolf Hitler and his rise to power. This movie is both hilarious and tragic in its scope. However, the highlight of the movie is in Chaplin’s final speech. In light of current events- this speech is timeless and speaks to the soul of man. I hope you take something away from this speech and heed the message that he is trying to convey to humanity. Enjoy!!Recently, I viewed the movie The Great Dictator that starred the late, great comic... more

The 1910s was a dynamic and tumultuous decade that ushered in the modern era. “Our Future Is In The Air” is an eclectic centennial exhibition devoted to photography of the 1910s. The exhibition provides a fascinating look at the birth of modern life through photographs by some 30 artists, who include: Eugène Atget, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Eugène Druet, Lewis Hine, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Adolph de Meyer, Christian Schad, Morton Schamberg, Charles Sheeler, and Stanislaw Witkiewicz, among others.
As cameras became smaller, faster, and easier to operate, amateur photographers such as the child prodigy Jacques-Henri Lartigue pushed the medium in directions that trained photographers of the time shied away from. Since Lartigue was recognized much later as a key figure in photography, prints such as the ones showing speeding motorcar are exceedingly rare. Lartigue made one of his most memorable photographs, Le Grand Prix A.C.F. (1913), by swinging his camera in the same direction as the car, as it sped by. The camera also afforded access to the previously invisible, such as the trajectory created by simple changes in body position, shown in the motion studies by Futurist artist Anton Giulio Bragaglia.
At the same time, photography became an agent of democratic communication, and documentary photographers used its growing influence to expose degrading conditions of workers, the injustice of child labor, and the devastation of war. Beginning in 1908, Lewis Hine made 5,000 photographs of children working in mills, sweatshops, factories, and street trades.
During World War I, photography was utilized to document the mass casualties of mechanized warfare. The exhibition presents an evocative 1918 photograph of Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks entertaining a huge crowd at a war bonds rally on Wall Street.
The presentation is accompanied by video of Louis Feuillade’s Les Vampires, a 1915 serial about a brazen band of criminals, which was shot on the streets of Paris (silent film with music track).
This piece includes a number of vintage photographs, a slide show and Louis Feuillade’s 1915 film, “Les Vampires”

Sorry Back to the future fans, you're not going to end up as the Time Traveller in the Charlie Chaplin film after befriending the local mad neighbour.
Turns out the mystery is solved with just a simple picture of a square phone shaped ear trumpet. The old women was just using a hearing aid, instead of managing to find a phone signal in 1928 after time travelling.
"What [Insanely long-winded] Irish filmmaker George Clarke didn’t consider was that a simple ear trumpet could still explain it all, said hearing device historians.
“As you can tell from these pictures, old-fashioned mechanical or resonating hearing aids were not necessarily long and rounded,” said Philip Skroska, an archivist at the Bernard Becker Medical Library of Washington University in St. Louis.
“Short, compact rectangular forms were not unusual.” In other words, they could look something like a cell phone to imaginative YouTube viewers in the 21st century. "-Live ScienceSorry Back to the future fans, you're not going to end up as the Time Traveller... more

Cell phone 'time traveler' seen in silent film
By Stephanie Goldberg, Special to CNN
October 28, 2010 1:07 p.m. EDT | Filed under: WebSTORY HIGHLIGHTS
* Internet writers say they've spotted a cell phone from 1928
* The supposed phone is seen in the background of a Charlie Chaplin movie
(CNN) -- It's not shocking to see a woman talking on her cell phone while walking down the street. It is, however, shocking when the woman is an extra in a silent film from 1928.
Charlie Chaplin's "The Circus" is getting internet buzz with a clip from the black-and-white comedy spreading at viral speed.
The clip -- a DVD extra spotted by filmmaker George Clarke -- appears to show a woman holding a mobile phone to her ear and talking.
The only explanation: She's a time traveler.
At least that's the word on the Web.
In the late 1920s, Chaplin was nominated for an Academy Award for acting, writing, directing and producing "The Circus," but he was taken out of the running and presented with a "Special Award" instead.
Perhaps the Academy didn't think it was fair to include him in the race -- what with the use of technology from the future and all.
We're just curious who operates her mobile network.Cell phone 'time traveler' seen in silent film
