Along the way Chaplin did something that made him a famous artist worldwide.He “invented” the Tramp (流浪汉) who wore a funny hat, vest (背心) that was too small, shoes that were too big, a brush-mustache, and carried a stick.The clothes seemed to produce the character.He remembered the walk of a man in his childhood and copied it.The character made him well-known until 1940 when he did his first sound film.Even though he did a small amount of work without the Tramp clothes he will always be remembered for that character.
Because Chaplin began his life in a poor family, he always connected with the common men, even when he had become very famous.His films The Gold Rush, The Kid, and City Lights are considered to be the most famous films in the world.Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ awarded Chaplin Knight (爵士) in 1975 for his contribution to filmmaking.
Chaplin's health began to fail slowly in the late 1960s after he finished his final film A Countess from Hong Kong.By 1977 he could no longer communicate with others.He died in Switzerland on December 25, 1977.
