Hi everyone!
I feel so sad while I’m writing this blog post. I can’t believe that I will be travelling home to Norway tomorrow! Don’t misunderstand me, I love my home country, but there is something special about the United States. Maybe I will settle down here when I grow up? Since it was my last night in the US, I decided to do something fun so I could laugh a lot. Therefore, I went to the cinema to watch a comedian movie. It was many different comedian movies to choose between, and I ended up watching an old classic movie from 1915; The Tramp. The main role in the film, who’s acting the Tramp, is Charlie Chaplin.

Personally, I thought the
movie was hilarious, and I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much.
Charlie Chaplin clearly had a special sense of humor, but he had the same humor
as I have. When I arrived my hotel room later that night, I wanted to find out
more about him. After some research on the internet, I thought it seemed like
he had a pretty interesting life as well. Now I want to share parts of his life
with you:
Charles Spence Chaplin was
born in London 16th of April 1889, and died in Switzerland 25th
of December 1977. He was an English comedian, actor, and film director who rose
to fame in the silent era. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his film
role as "the Tramp". He was one of the most famous movie stars by the
end of the First World War, and is considered one of the most important figures
in the history of the film industry.
It was the film producer Mark
Sennett that noticed Chaplin’s talent as a comedian. His debut in a movie was in
1914 as “the Tramp”. After a short time, everyone knew him as the classical
figure with loose pants, tight jacket, big shoes, cane and mustache. The figure
reached a high popularity, so in 1919 created Chaplin and three friends a film
company called United Artists. Now he could both make, directing and produce
his own movies. Charlie didn’t just act in movies as “the Tramp”, he actually
played many different roles. For instance he played a barber in a ghetto, the
dictator Hynkel, and an elegant female murder.
Chaplin was criticized in public
for his marriages with very young women, his radical and political views, and
that he kept his British citizenship. After being accused of un-American
activities, he settled in Switzerland in 1953.
So, what do you think about Charlie Chaplin? He seemed like a pretty interesting man, with quite a life! If you haven't seen the Tramp, you should do it right away! Or, you can watch this funny video I found of him on YouTube:
As I said earlier, this is unfortunately
my last post on this blog. I don’t say this a lot, but this assignment fits me
perfect to be honest. I love to write texts, both facts and blogs like this. I
hope you liked to read my posts, because I really loved writing it! I’ve worked
hard trying to create a balance between facts and made up histories by me, and I’m
quite satisfied. Of course I’m hoping for a good grade, since I’ve put a lot of
work and time in this.
Lots of love, Synne
Igjen har du gjort en veldig god jobb med blogginnlegget ditt. Du har god grammatikk, og ikke minst god flyt og språk. Synes du balanserer fakta og personlig stemme på en veldig bra måte, og det har du gjort hele veien. Jeg skjønner godt at du håper på en god karakter, for jeg ser at du har lagt mye arbeid ned i dette. Du skal nok se at du blir fornøyd :)
