阅读理解。 The influential Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin is irresistible (无法抵御) because he is one of the first and most enduring (持久的) movie

stars, because he quickly gained creative and financial control (创作权和财政权) of his movies, because he

invented such a fascinating (引人入胜的) series of comic (喜剧的) films, because he experienced such a

stormy personal life, and because his 40-year filmmaking career in the United States was such a rollercoaster

ride of boom and bust.

Every few weeks outside the movie theater in virtually any American town in the late 1910s,stood the life-

size card board figure of small tramp-outfitted in tattered (破旧的), baggy (肥大的) pants, a cutaway coat

and vest(背心), impossibly large, worn-out shoes, and a battered derby (扁顶) hat-bearing the inscription (印

象) "I am here today." An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that precious,

almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot.

In a 1995 worldwide survey (调查) of film critics, Chaplin was voted the greatest actor in movie history.

He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process-founding his

own studio, United Artists, with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D.W. Griffith, and producing, casting

(演员挑选人), directing, writing, and editing the movies he starred in.

In the first decade of the twentieth century, when weekly movie going was a national habit, Chaplin more

or less invented global recognizability (世人的赞扬) and helped turn an industry into an art. In 1916, his third

year in films, his salary of $10 000 a week made him the highest paid actor-possibly the highest paid person-in

the world.

By 1920, "Chaplinitis" accompanied (伴随) by a flood of Chaplin dances, songs, dolls, comic books and

cocktails, was rampant. Filmmakers Mack Sennett thought him "just the greatest artist who ever lived". Other

early admirers included George Bernard Shaw, Marcel Proust, and Sigmund Freud. In 1923 Hart Crane, who

wrote a poem about Chaplin, said his pantomime"represents the futile gesture (无用的) of the poet today".

Later in the 1950s, Chaplin was one of the icons of the Beat Generation. From 1981 to 1987, IBM used the

Tramp as the logo to advertise its venture (冒险精神) into personal computers.

He has been called the single most influential artist in the history of motion pictures; certainly no other

movie star enjoyed the international, iconographic (象征性的) status (地位) he attained early in the silent era

and maintained (保持) well past the coming of sound. And certainly no other creative talent did as much as he

to elevate (提高) screen comedy to a high art. 【个性思考】 Do you know why Charlie Chaplin can be called the single most influential artist in the history

of motion pictures?
