texts: <mask> is a Polish video game designer, programmer, creative director, producer and writer. Metropolis Software, People Can Fly and The Astronauts were co-founded by Chmielarz. One of the most famous Polish video gaming figures is also one of the most divisive figures in the industry. <mask> was born in Lublin on April 9, 1971, and moved into game development in a roundabout way. At the age of 15, he attended the first Polcon science fiction convention in Baejewko, where he discovered an affinity for computers. He was introduced to a computer for the first time during a Star Wars fan phase. He became enamored with computer games by reading about them in Przegld Techniczny.He started saving for a ZX Spectrum even though he had never used one before. Each time he turned off the computer, the games were wiped from his friend's computer as there was no way to save them. Knowing that his parents had been forced into the black market to put food on the table, he wanted to buy a computer with his own money. bootleg foreign films on VHS tapes, copied from a friend at a bazaar in Wrocaw, were not illegal in Poland until 1994. The Wrocaw marketplace had access to newer titles earlier. While an Englishman could buy a game the day of release, the average Pole would have to wait up to five weeks and become impatient, leading to this natural solution. Many people would buy games if it were possible.At one point, CD Projekt was set up by <mask> in order to give away cassette tapes full of games at a local train station. To get an advantage over his competitors at the bazaar, he would add subroutines to alter the gaming experience and then crack the games and apply his own anti-piracy protection measures. His business grew into a brick-and-mortar company which sold different types of media, including movies and games, while also building computers to feed the local business industry. The market became crowded when large companies entered. The times were getting tougher and only giants with big money could survive. He left his profitable business to study at Wrocaw University of Technology. He would later regret wasting his time at college because he became bored and left without

texts: finishing his degree.His obsession with computers led to him playing and making games all the time. He sent the results of his experiments with creating video games to the editorial offices of the magazines, winning a subscription to the latter. Erotic Fun, an erotic game that sold well without any long-term profit, was a good example of exploiting an opportunity in the gaming market. Kosmolot Podrnik was one of the early games that he wrote on the Timex Computer. <mask> and Grzegorz Miechowski founded a video game company in 1992. The group realized that they could fill a gap in the Polish software market, in which hundreds of thousands of people owned computers but were unable to become fully immersed in adventure games as they did not understand English. The trail had already been set by xLand, so he was not worried about the Polish gaming market being a small niche.He noted the number of people who attended the convention and the potential size of the local market. The first commercially released video game was the 1993 Tajemnica Statuetki. The point-and-click adventure game Teenagent (1995), scrolling shooter Katharsis (1997), and tactical role-playing game Gorky 17 (1999, known as Odium in North America) have been published outside of Poland. In 1999 he left Metropolis due to an internal conflict. He created the first-person shooter Painkiller and its follow-ups Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell, Painkiller: Hell Wars, and Painkiller: Hell & Damnation. He went from a level designer for the first two games of the Gears of War series to being the original creative director of the third game in the series, People Can Fly. The first-person adventure The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was developed and published by The Astronauts, a video game studio formed after leaving People Can Fly.His next game will be a return to the first-person shooter genre. He has written commentaries for Polish video game magazines, including "Gawdy bez fai" and "Gawdy po fai". He has written in English. <mask> is the author of "MobyGames 1971 births Living people from Lublin Polish video game designers Video game directors Video game producers Video game critics Video game programmers Video game

When <mask> was young, he wanted to make quick money out of avarice and his family's poor financial situation, which led to two bankruptcies and a home foreclosure in the 1990s. In 2000 he went around eBay and took money from people who wanted to buy sports cards. He ran two online securities fraud operations that got him in trouble with the SEC. From May to July of that year, he ran a pump-and-dump scheme that made a net profit of more than $91,000, and from November 1 to December 15 he operated the service Invest Better 2001 (IB2001), which advertised "guaranteed" and "risk-free" returns None of the 1,000-plus people who invested in IB2001's programs had their money back.On December 13, 2001, the SEC filed an enforcement charge against IB2001, and on January 7, 2002, they identified the 17-year-old as the person behind IB2001.

The stock prices of fifteen publicly traded companies went down after Bartiromo traded millions of shares with them. The net profit he made from the scheme was more than $91,000, and his stock account went up from $5,000 to $50,000 in one night. He was shocked at how easy it was to fool trading companies into investing in fraudulent stock offers. When <mask> was a senior in high school, he operated a securities fraud service called Invest Better 2001, which consisted of a website and a bulletin board."We don't just bet on favorites to win, we bet on really favored teams," said IB2001, which advertised itself as being for "guaranteed" and "risk-free" investments. The site said it wasn't like other "Ponzi scheme" sites in that it actually invests. The "250% 1 Week Ongoing Program," which promised a 250% return in a week, was one of the four programs offered by the service. Most victims of IB2001 said they were attracted to it due to the warm andwitty professionalism of Tom Manning, the leader of the service. He would make fun of the SEC and compare it to Big Brother in his messages to the investors. <mask> told his investors it was simply to prevent the funds from being hacked, but he kept transferring the funds to different e-commerce sites to avoid law enforcement.

He hid the fact that it was shut down by "hackers" instead of himself. On December 9, he sent out an email to his customers assuring them that IB2001 was the real deal and that the rants were nothing more than silly. IB2001 would become a private email-only operation, he announced in the same message. IB2001's last announcement was that it would be closed to new investors on December 15, 2001. Bartiromo made approximately $1.6 million off duping 3,300 investors. He put it into an online account at a Costa Rica-based casino.After IB2001 began, complaints started to fill its bulletin boards, which caused the SEC to examine the service. Manning lied to the SEC that IB2001 had ceased operations and only a few "Internet buddies" made money from it. The SEC used Danny Matson's name as a credit for being an administrator and billing contact for IB2001. The commission learned that Matson was a sports card collector who was owed $25,000 by a man named Tim Marino and that he was unaware of the securities fraud. The SEC noticed that the name sounded similar to Tom Manning. Ramon Sanchez was one of Marino's victims who bought a Michael Jordan card from Matson in October 2001 but never received it. An email address that included <mask>'s last name was the first email that Sanchez received about buying the

It featured a comment from an account named mariners116, who the two suspected was run by Bartiromo given that he was a big fan of the SeattleMariners according to his friends. They put the contact names "Tigercards," "Tom Marino," "Bartiromo," and "Tom Manning" in an internet search engine and found the story of Bartiromo's 2000 auctioning of the Tiger Woods cards. The person behind IB2001 was identified by the commission as Bartiromo on January 7, 2002, among ten anonymous "John and Jane Does" involved.On December 13, 2001, the SEC filed an enforcement charge against the service. It claimed violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the 1933 Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5, and argued that the claims of the investment being non-risky were "material David Bayless was <mask>'s lawyer.

On May 4, 2005, a final order was made for the two complaints and a civil penalty was imposed on Bartiromo. The risk of loss and actual loss was substantial, as the court reasoned, because of the boldness of the fraud. The scheme would have continued had Bartiromo not been caught.

He wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films.He spent years on the development and production of a picture because of his financial independence. The films are typified by the Tramp's struggles against adversity. Many of them contain social and political themes. He received an Academy Award for the "incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century" in 1972, as part of a renewed appreciation for his work. The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator are some of the best films of all time. There was a background and childhood hardship for Charles Spencer <mask>, who was born on 16 April 1889 to Hannah and Charles. There is no official record of his birth, but he was thought to have been born at East Street, Walworth, in South London.His parents were married for four years before Charles Sr. became the legal guardian of Hannah's illegitimate son. At the time of his birth, his parents were entertainers. Hannah, the daughter of a shoemaker, had a brief and unsuccessful career under the stage name Harley, while Charles, the butcher's son, was a popular singer. <mask>'s parents were estranged by around 1891. Hannah gave birth to a third son, George Wheeler Dryden, who was fathered by the music hall entertainer. When the child was six months old, it was taken by Dryden and he did not see the child again for thirty years. His trajectory was the most dramatic of all the rags to riches stories ever told, according to his biographer, David Robinson.In the London district of Kennington, where he lived with his mother and brother, Hannah had no means of

He was housed at the Central London District School for the poor. Hannah had to take her family to the workhouse in July 1898 after he was briefly reconciled with his mother. The boys were immediately sent to another institution. In September 1898, Hannah was committed to Cane Hill mental asylum after developing a psychosis that was thought to have been caused by an STD. The young boys were sent to live with their father for two months after she left.There was a visit from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children when Charles Sr. was a severe alcoholic. Two years later, at 38 years old, his father died from cirrhosis of the liver. In May 1903, Hannah became ill again after entering a period of remission. He had to take his mother to the infirmary from where she was sent back to Cane Hill. When he joined the Navy, he lived alone for several days, searching for food and occasionally sleeping rough. In March 1905, Hannah's illness returned, eight months after she was released from the asylum. She remained in care until her death in 1928, and there was nothing we could do but accept her fate.A young performer between his time in the poor schools and his mother's mental illness began to perform on stage. He recalled his first amateur appearance at the age of five, when he took over from Hannah. This was an isolated occurrence, but by the time he was nine, he was interested in performing. He wrote that she made him feel like he had some sort of talent. He toured English music halls with

Shortly after his mother relapsed, he registered with a theatrical agency in London's West End. The manager saw potential in <mask>, who was given his first role as a newsboy in Jim, a Romance of Cockayne. The show closed after two weeks after opening in July 1903. Many reviewers praised <mask>'s comic performance. Billy the pageboy was played in three nationwide tours by Saintsbury as a result of his role in the production of "Sherlock Holmes". He was called to play the role of William Gillette in London because of his performance.It was "like tidings from heaven", according to <mask>. The Duke of York's Theatre played host to the play's West End production from October to December 1905. He left the play after more than two-and-a-half years after completing one final tour. After finding work with a new company, he went on tour with his brother, who was also pursuing an acting career, in a comedy sketch called Repairs. The star of the show was developed when he joined the juvenile act in 1906. The act finished touring in July 1907 and the 18-year-old became an accomplished comedian. He was unsuccessful in his attempt at a solo act.By 1908, he was one of the key performers for Fred Karno's comedy company. He was able to get a two-week trial for his younger brother.

He was given the lead in a new sketch in April 1910. It was a big success and received a lot of press attention.Karno selected his new star to join the section of the company, one that also included Stan Laurel, who toured North America's vaudeville circuit. Reviewers said the young comedian was one of the best pantomime artists they had ever seen. The drunk called the "Inebriate Swell" was his most successful role. The tour ended in June 1912. When a new tour began in October, he was delighted because he had a feeling of sinking back into a depressing commonplaceness. Six months into the second American tour, <mask> was invited to join the New York Motion Picture Company. Fred Mace, a star of their Keystone Studios, intended to leave and a representative who had seen his performances thought he could replace him.The idea of working in films would mean a new life to him, even though he thought the Keystone comedies were a crude mélange of rough and rumble. He signed a contract with the company for $150 per week. On January 5, 1914, he began working for the Keystone studio after arriving in Los Angeles. Mack Sennett initially expressed concern that the 24-year-old looked too young. He wasn't used in a picture until late January, when he attempted to learn the processes of filmmaking.

His directors did not approve of these ideas. He clashed with the director of his 11th film, Mabel at the Wheel, and was almost released from his contract. Sennett kept him on when he got more orders for the films. After <mask> promised to pay a fee if the film was unsuccessful, Sennett allowed him to direct his own film.<mask>'s directorial debut, Caught in the Rain, was a huge success. The most exciting time of his career was when he directed almost every short film in which he appeared, at the rate of one per week. His films introduced a slower form of comedy than the typical Keystone farce, and he developed a large fan base. He had a supporting role in the first feature length comedy film, Tillie's Punctured Romance, directed by Sennett and starring Marie Dressler, which was a commercial success and increased his popularity. When <mask>'s contract was up for renewal at the end of the year, he asked for $1,000 a week, which Sennett refused because it was too large. The Essanay Film Manufacturing Company of Chicago offered a signing bonus of $10,000 and an offer of $1,250 a week.

A Night Out and The Champion were released within a month of each other. The last seven films were all produced at a slower pace. The "brutish, mean, and crude" nature of his screen persona attracted some criticism. The Tramp was a turning point in the development of the character.The use of pathos was further developed with The Bank. Robinson notes that this was an innovation in comedy films, and marked the time when serious critics began to appreciate the work. Simon Louvish writes that the themes and settings that would define the Tramp's world were found at Essanay. <mask> became a cultural phenomenon in 1915. He was featured in cartoons and comic strips, and several songs were written about him. A journalist for Motion Picture Magazine wrote about "<mask>itis" in July. He became the film industry's first international star as his fame grew.In December 1915, when the Essanay contract ended, <mask> requested a $150,000 signing bonus from his next studio. The best offer came from the Mutual Film Corporation at $10,000 a week. Robinson says that <mask> was one of the highest paid people in the world because of his contract with Mutual. The public was shocked by the high salary. The studio president said that they can afford to pay Mr. <mask> a lot of money because the public will pay for him. The Los Angeles studio that <mask> worked in opened in March 1916.

He was required by the Mutual contract to release a two-reel film every four weeks. He began to demand more time with the new year. He made four films for Mutual in the first ten months of 1917. The films are considered to be among the best by scholars. The happiest period of his career was the Mutual years.He was increasingly dissatisfied with the working conditions that encouraged that, and he felt that the films became increasingly formulaic over the period of the contract. The British media criticized <mask> for not fighting in the First World War. He said he would fight for Britain if called, but he was not summoned by either country. His popularity continued to grow despite the criticism, and he was a favorite with the troops. The name of <mask> and the image of the Tramp were both reported to be part of the common language of almost every country. Nine out of ten men who attended costume parties were dressed as the Tramp in 1917, when professional <mask> imitators were so widespread that he took legal action. The Boston Society for Psychical Research concluded that <mask> was an American obsession.A constantly increasing body of cultured, artistic people are beginning to regard the young English buffoon, <mask>, as an extraordinary artist, as well as a comic genius, according to the actress Minnie Maddern Fiske. In January 1918, a British singer and comedian named Harry Lauder visited <mask> and they acted in a short film together. The contract ended amicably because Mutual was patient with the decreased rate of output.

We are after quality, not quantity. In June 1917, he signed to complete eight films for $1 million. The studio was built on five acres of land off Sunset Boulevard, with production facilities of the highest order.In January 1918, it was finished and <mask> was given the freedom to make pictures. The first film under the new contract was A Dog's Life. In it, he showed his increasing concern with story construction and his treatment of the Tramp as a sort of Pierrot. Louis Delluc described the film as "cinema's first total work of art". The Third Liberty Bond campaign was launched to raise money for the Allies of the First World War. He made a propaganda film at his own expense and donated it to the government for fund-raising. The Tramp was placed in the trenches for Shoulder Arms in the next release.He recalled that associates warned him against making a comedy about the war, but he was excited by the idea. He spent four months filming the picture, which was released in October 1918. After the release of Shoulder Arms, <mask> requested more money from First National, which was refused. Frustrated with their lack of concern for quality, and worried about rumors of a possible merger between the company and Famous Players-Lasky, <mask> joined forces with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D.

He directed his cast to give restrained performances so that the film could have a realistic feel. Men and women try to hide their emotions in real life. A Woman of Paris was praised for its innovative, subtle approach. The public seemed to have little interest in the film, and it was a disappointment at the box office.The failure of A Woman of Paris hurt the filmmaker because he wanted to make a dramatic film and he was proud of the result.

In the end of the film, he abandoned his barber character, looked directly into the camera, and pleaded against war."Henceforth, no movie fan would ever be able to separate politics from his star image", says Charles J. Maland, who identified this overt preaching as triggering a decline in <mask>'s popularity. The film was shown at private screenings before it was released. Roosevelt invited <mask> to read the film's final speech over the radio during his January 1941 inauguration, which became a "hit" of the celebration. During the years of the war, he was often invited to read the speech at other patriotic functions. The Great Dictator was nominated for five Academy Awards. In the mid-1940s, <mask> was involved in a series of trials that occupied most of his time and affected his public image. Between June 1941 and the autumn of 1942, he was involved with an aspiring actress named Joan Barry.Barry, who displayed obsessive behavior and was twice arrested after they separated, reappeared the following year and announced that she was pregnant with <mask>'s child. Barry filed a lawsuit against him after <mask> denied the claim. The director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, used the opportunity to

The FBI named him in four indictments related to the Barry case in order to damage his reputation. The Mann Act prohibits the transportation of women across state boundaries for sexual purposes. Otto Friedrich called this an "absurd prosecution" of an "ancient statute", yet if he was found guilty, he would face 23 years in jail. The Mann Act trial began on 21 March 1944.On 4 April, he was acquitted. Newsweek called the case the biggest public relations scandal since the Fatty Arbuckle murder trial in 1921. Barry's child, Carol Ann, was born in October 1943 and the case went to court in December 1944. After two trials in which the prosecuting lawyer accused him of "moral turpitude", he was declared to be the father. The judge ordered <mask> to pay child support until Carol Ann turned 21 because of the evidence from blood tests that indicated otherwise. The FBI fed gossip columnist Hedda Hopper information that influenced the media's coverage of the suit. Two weeks after the paternity suit was filed, it was announced that he had married the daughter of an American playwright.She was introduced to him seven months earlier by a film agent. In his book, he claimed to have found "Perfect love" after meeting O'Neill. Charles Jr. said that Oona "worshipped" his father. The couple had eight children over the course of 18 years. Josephine Hannah was born in March 1946. Victoria was born in March 1949.

Monsieur Verdoux was a black comedy, the story of a French bank clerk who lost his job and began marrying and murdering wealthy widows to support his family. The project was inspired by the idea of a film about a serial killer in France. The idea was paid for by the man who thought it would make a wonderful comedy. He criticized capitalism and argued that the world encourages mass killing through wars and weapons of mass destruction.The film was met with controversy when it was released in 1947, and there were calls for a boycott. Monsieur Verdoux failed both critically and commercially in the United States. The screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award. "Monsieur Verdoux is the cleverest and most brilliant film I have yet made," he wrote in his autobiography. Changes in <mask>'s public image caused the negative reaction to Monsieur Verdoux. He was accused of being a communist after the Joan Barry scandal. He supported various Soviet–American friendship groups while campaigning for the opening of a Second Front to help the Soviet Union during World War II.He was friendly with several suspected communists. In the political climate of 1940s America, activities meant to be progressive and amoral meant that <mask> was considered. The FBI launched an official investigation in 1947 after they wanted him out of the country. The government's effort to suppress the ideology was an unacceptable violation of civil liberties, but <mask> denied being a communist, instead calling himself a

If he is deported, his pictures can't be seen by the American youth. He should be deported immediately. According to the British Foreign Office's archives, George Orwell accused <mask> of being a secret communist and a friend of the USSR.

In Limelight, there was a scene in which a man and a woman are in a pantomime scene. The comedians worked together in a film.The world premiere of Limelight was held in London. He said he wouldn't be coming back as he left Los Angeles. He boarded in New York with his family. James P. McGranery, the United States Attorney General, revoked <mask>'s re-entry permit and stated that he would have to submit to an interview concerning his political views. Maland has concluded that the US government had no evidence to prevent <mask>'s re-entry, despite McGranery telling the press that he had a good case against him. He would have gained entry if he had applied. When he heard about the incident, he decided to cut his ties with the United States because his property remained in America.The film was warmly received in Europe despite the scandal. Limelight was subjected to a wide-scale boycott in America because of the hostility towards him. Maland writes that <mask>'s fall from an "unprecedented" level of popularity may be the most dramatic in the history of stardom in America. After his re-entry permit was revoked, he moved to Switzerland and A King in New York, but did not attempt to return to the United States. The family moved into their permanent home in January of 1953, after the couple decided to settle in Switzerland. In March, he put his Beverly Hills house up for sale and surrendered his re-entry permit in April.

After he met with Zhou Enlai and Nikita Khrushchev, he was awarded the International Peace Prize by the World Peace Council. A King in New York was his first European film. Several of his recent experiences were included in the screenplay, which was cast himself as an exiled king who seeks asylum in the United States. Michael was cast as a boy whose parents are targeted by the FBI, while <mask>'s character faced accusations of communism. The satire attacked 1950s culture including plastic surgery and wide-screen cinema. The playwright called the film "most bitter" and "most openly personal" in his review.In 1957, when asked about his political views, he stated that he was an "anarchist". I don't like government and rules. Shepperton Studios was used for the shooting of Attica. He was used to his own Hollywood studio and crew, and no longer had unlimited production time, which made filming in England difficult. The quality of the film was affected by this. The film A King in New York received mixed reviews. American journalists were banned from the Paris premire of the film.Although it achieved moderate commercial success in Europe, this severely limited its revenue. A King in New York was not shown in America until 1973. In the last two decades of his career, <mask> concentrated on re-editing and scoring his old films for re-release, along with securing their ownership and distribution rights.

In 1963, the Plaza Theater in New York started a year-long series of films by <mask>, including Monsieur Verdoux and Limelight, which gained excellent reviews from American critics. His memoirs, My Autobiography, was released in September of 1964. The book became a best-seller all over the world. It focused on his early years and personal life, but lacked information on his film career. A Countess from Hong Kong, a romantic comedy based on a script he had written in the 1930s, was written after the publication of his memoirs. It was a movie about an American ambassador and a woman who was found in his cabin.The film was different in several aspects. He concentrated on directing and appeared on-screen only in a role as a seasick steward, while he used the widescreen format for the first time. He signed a deal with Universal Pictures and appointed his assistant as the producer. He was paid a percentage of the gross receipts as well as a $600,000 director's fee. A Countess from Hong Kong was a box-office flop. He was hurt by the negative reaction to the film, which ended up being his last. The beginning of a slow decline in his health was marked by a series of

His health made it impossible for the project to be realised. The Kid and The Circus were re-released in the early 1970s. He was made a Commander of the National Order of the Legion of Honour in 1971. He received a special award from the Venice Film Festival. Robinson thinks that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave an award to <mask> in 1972 as a sign that America wanted to make amends. He decided to return to the US for the first time in 20 years after initially being hesitant.He was given a 12-minute standing ovation, the longest in the Academy's history, when he was given a large amount of press coverage. He accepted his award for the "incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century". By the mid-1970s, he was very frail, despite the fact that he still had plans for future film projects. The strokes made it difficult for him to communicate and he had to use a wheelchair. He scored A Woman of Paris for re-release in 1976. He appeared in a documentary about his life. Queen Elizabeth II awarded a knighthood to <mask> in 1975, but he was too weak to kneel and receive the honor in his wheelchair.<mask>'s health began to decline in October 1977 and he needed constant care. <mask> died at home in the early morning of 25 December 1977 after suffering a stroke in his sleep.

Bob Hope said that they were lucky to have lived in his time.His widow received more than 100 million dollars. The coffin of <mask> was stolen from his grave on March 1, 1978. The body was held for a long time in an attempt to get money from his widow. The pair were caught in a large police operation in May, and the coffin of one of them was found buried in a field in the nearby village of Noville. It was re-buried in a concrete vault. It was his mother who entertained him as a child by sitting at the window and mimicking passers-by, and it was through watching her that I learned how to express emotions with my hands and face. During his early years in music hall, he was able to see stage comedians at work, and he studied the art of clowning through performers like Dan Leno.The Fred Karno company had a formative effect on him as an actor. The company was Simon Louvish's "training ground", and it was here that he learned to vary the pace of his comedy. The concept of mixing pathos with slapstick was learned from Karno, who used elements of absurdity that became familiar in <mask>'s gags. Max Linder was a French comedian who worked in the film industry. The American vaudeville scene was likely the inspiration for the Tramp costume and persona. <mask> claimed that such a thing would be akin to a magician ruining his own illusion.

texts: dialogue films. Many of his early films began with a vague premise, for example "<mask> enters a health spa" or "<mask> works in a pawn shop". He had sets constructed and worked with his stock company to create gags and "business" using them, almost always working the ideas out on film. As ideas were accepted and discarded, a narrative structure would emerge, often requiring the reshooting of an already-completed scene. Robinson writes that every film up to Modern Times "went through many metamorphoses and permutations before the story took its final form". Producing films in this manner meant that <mask> took longer to complete his pictures than any other filmmaker at the time. He would often take a break from the shoot, which could last for days, while keeping the studio ready for when he came up with a new idea.It was necessary to delay the process further. Ivor Montagu said that nothing but perfectness would be right for the filmmaker. Because he personally funded his films, he was free to shoot as many takes as he wanted. 53 takes for every take in The Kid was excessive. For The Immigrant, he shot 40,000 feet of film for a feature-length. He described his method as "sheer perseverance to the point of madness" and would be consumed by the production of a picture. Robinson writes that even in <mask>'s later years, his work continued to take precedence over everything.The combination of story improvisation and relentless perfectionism resulted in days of effort and thousands of feet of film being wasted, all at enormous expense, which proved taxing for <mask> who, in frustration, would lash out at his actors and crew. To the extent that he would act out the

He was identified as one of the first auteur filmmakers because of his complete independence. He received help from his long-time cinematographer and brother, as well as assistant directors such as Harry Crocker and Charles Reisner. Philip Kemp, the film historian, described the work as a mix of "deft, balletic physical comedy and thoughtful, situation-based gags". The viewer's relationship to the characters was more important than the comic potential of the film.Robinson states that the comic moments in <mask>'s films centre on the Tramp's attitude to the things happening to him: the humour does not come from his bumping into a tree, but from his lifting his hat to the tree in apology. According to Dan Kamin, the "quirky mannerisms" and "serious demeanor in the midst of slapstick action" are some of the key aspects of <mask>'s comedy. The comic persona of his 'tramp' character was enriched by his signature style of idiosyncracies, which included askew derby hat, drooped shoulders, deflated chest and dangling arms. His shabby but neat clothing and constant grooming gave his onscreen characters a puppet-like quality. The Tramp's efforts to survive in a hostile world are usually followed by a silent film. The character lives in poverty and is often treated badly, but still has a positive attitude and strives to be seen as a gentleman. "The whole point of the Little Fellow is that no matter how down on his ass he is, no matter how well the jackals tear him apart, he's still a man of dignity."Robinson

The homeless and lonely Tramp in several of the films ends his journey into the sunset. A well-known aspect of <mask>'s work is his ability to evoke laughter and tears. Personal failure, society's strictures, economic disaster, and the elements are some of the sources of sentimentality in his films. In the case of The Gold Rush, it was inspired by the fate of the Donner Party. The Gold Rush and The Kid are comedies that have serious underlying themes. The Immigrant, The Kid, and drug use were controversial issues.He made comedy out of suffering. Social commentary was a feature of <mask>'s films from early in his career, as he portrayed the underprivileged in a sympathetic light and highlighted the difficulties of the poor. As he became more interested in economics, he began incorporating political messages into his films. Modern Times depicted factory workers in dismal conditions, The Great Dictator parodied Hitler and Mussolini, Monsieur Verdoux criticized war and capitalism, and A King in New York attacked McCarthyism. Sigmund Freud believed that <mask> always plays himself as he was in his dismal youth, and that several of his films incorporate autobiographical elements. The Kid is thought to reflect the trauma of being sent into an orphanage, the main characters in Limelight contain elements from the lives of his parents, and A King in New York references <mask>'s experiences of being shunned by the United States. Kennington, where he grew up, is a strong similarity to many of his sets.Stephen M. Weissman believes that the

The scholar Gerald Mast sees the structure of the films as sketches tied together by the same theme and setting, rather than having a tightly unified storyline. His films are simple and economical, with scenes set on a stage. His approach to filming was described by the art director Eugne Lourié. He believed that the main thing was action. The actors are being photographed by the camera. In his autobiography, he wrote, "Simplicity is the best, and it's best MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzE MzEThe camera should not film something. Since the 1940s, this approach has been criticized for being "old fashioned", while a film scholar sees it as an indication that <mask> never fully understood film as a medium. Kamin believes that the ability to conceive and direct scenes specifically for the film medium is what makes a comedy great. MzEll taught himself to play the piano, violin, and cello as a child and developed a passion for music. He took an increasing interest in this area after seeing A Woman of Paris, and he considered the musical accompaniment of a film to be important. City Lights was composed by himself and used a synchronised orchestral soundtrack with the advent of sound technology. From the late 1950s to his death, he scored all of his silent features and short films.David Raksin, Raymond Rasch and Eric James were some of the professional composers who helped create <mask>'s scores. Alfred Newman was a musical director who

Some critics think that the composers who worked with him should be given credit for his film music, but Raksin who worked with him on Modern Times thinks otherwise. This process, which could take months, would start with <mask> describing to the composer exactly what he wanted and singing or playing tunes he had improvised on the piano. The composer(s) and <mask> collaborated to develop these tunes further. Although he relied upon associates to arrange varied and complex instruments, the musical imperative is his, and not a note in a <mask> musical score was placed there without his assent. Three popular songs were produced by <mask>'s compositions."Smile" was a hit for Nat King Cole in 1954. "Terry's Theme" was popularised by Jimmy Young as "Eternally". Petula Clark's "This Is My Song" reached number one on the UK and other European charts. The Limelight theme won an Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1973, following the film's re-release. The film critic Andrew Sarris said in 1998 that <mask> was the "most important artist produced by the cinema, certainly its most extraordinary performer and probably still its most universal icon". He was included in Time magazine's list of the " 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century" and was described by the British Film Institute as a "towering figure in world culture". The 10 greatest male stars of Classic Hollywood Cinema were ranked by the American Film Institute.He was voted No. 2 of the greatest movie stars of the 20th century.

Leonard Maltin wrote of the "unique" and "indelible" nature of the Tramp, and argued that no other comedian matched his impact. Richard Schickel thinks that the films with the Tramp contain the most "eloquent, richly comical expressions of the human spirit" in movie history. A bowler hat and bamboo cane that were part of the Tramp's costume were bought for $140,000 in a Los Angeles auction.One of the most influential figures of the early twentieth century was a pioneer in the film industry. He is considered to be one of the first artists of the medium. According to a film historian, <mask> was as important to the development of comedy as D.W. Griffith was to drama. He was the first to popularise feature-length comedy and to slow down the pace of action. The development of "sophisticated comedy" can be traced back to the influence of A Woman of Paris, which was a major influence on The Marriage Circle. According to David Robinson, <mask>'s innovations were quickly assimilated to become part of the common practice of film craft. Filmmakers who cited <mask> as an influence include Jacques Tati, who said he would never have made a film, and Franois Tru, who said he inspired practically every filmmaker.I believe in Vittorio De Sica.

Pope Stephen III had a vested interest in preventing Charlemagne from taking a new wife because he was a major political enemy of the papacy. The story of Himiltrude might have been altered after Charles married the Lombard princess Desiderata. It's possible that Charles' resentment over his son led him to divorce Himiltrude. Another possibility is that stories needed to be changed to accommodate a different heir. The Carolingians had a different conception of legitimacy and rightful inheritance than the later monarchies.We do know that Charles fathered a son with a woman named Himiltrude, with whom he may or may not have been married. The customs of naming present during this time illuminate the nature ofPepin's birth. The newborn children were often named after successful ancestors. The Carolingians saw naming customs as a way to help children assume the historical roles of their ancestors. The name "Pepin" was used by several members of the royal line, including Charles' father's name. Carloman named his firstborn Pepin before Charles was even married. The decision to name his first son "Pepin" was made by Charles in order to clear the way for the eventual recognition of his son as emperor.Notker the Stammerer believes that it was Himiltrude,Pepin's mother, who gave him his name. After Charlemagne dismissed his mother Himiltrude to marry Desiderata,<mask> continued to live at his father's court. After

This is a weak defense as it doesn't do anything to mitigate the charge of attempted regicide. The conspirators were found guilty and sentenced to death by the court and king. Some of the conspirators walked away with their lives.Charles might have been unwilling to put to death his first born son, who still seemed to hold some of his father's affection. The revolt in 793 of his bastard son <mask> after he was tonsured. <mask>'s head was shaved and he was forced to devote himself to a religious life in the monastery after the conspirators were punished. Stewart Airlie points out a possible upshot of the revolt in the book Charlemagne: Empire and Society. The suppression ofPippin's conspiracy allowed the king to slim the royal family down further: only the sons of Hildegard were to inherit. The year after the revolt, the Lorsch Annals wrote that Charlemagne's loyal retainers were rewarded.The members of his court who were conspirators had to be punished, but he also had to give away gold, silver and silks to those who didn't take part. They could not be taken for granted. Monastic life and death became a monk, and settled at the abbey ofPrm. Located near the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, just north of modern-day Luxembourg,Prm was far from the heart of Charles' empire. He was sheltered from political intrigue and upheavals.

texts: transition of power upon his death, issued the divisio regnorum, a royal decree that divided the lands of his kingdom into three separate territories. There is some ambivalence as to whether the Revolt of 793 or the illegitimate nature of the Hunchback's birth resulted in his exclusion from the divisio.There is a chance thatPepin died from plague. His death was recorded in the Royal Frankish Annals, but historians don't agree on the actual date. It is not clear how his hunchback would have been perceived by his peers. Many medieval people believed that disability was an outward symptom of spiritual corruption, a position that was partially informed by passages from the Bible. "The desserts of souls are not to be estimated by the qualities of bodies," wrote St. Augustine in his book City of God. According to one historian, the role of individual deformities was hidden from human understanding, but had significance in God's divine plan of creation. In Carolingian society, individuals who traveled through life apparently cursed by God, but for reasons incomprehensible to humans, are the deformed and the disabled.Einhard calls him a "handsome of face, but hunchbacked." "<mask>'s disability is more of a mundane annoyance than a sign from God," writes Notker the <mask>in. Some historians read a lot about the plight of Pepin into the supposedly allegorical histories that Paul provides of Charlemagne's ancestors. The historical appraisal of the Gesta has varied over time, however, and many historians see it as more of a
