4. Charlie Chaplin 查理·卓別林

In the 20th century, it is not too much to say that Einstein made the greatest contributions to science, and not many would disagree that Chaplin (April 16, 1889 – December 25, 1977) did the same for film. He was the first actor that introduced comedy to most Chinese viewers, and politically, he was also a close friend of China’s. His silent films broke the barrier of language and his form of art was recognized by all. It will be a difficult task to find a person in China who does not recognize Chaplin, even today. There are many great comedians, both now and past, but no one has yet surpassed Chaplin for his vitality and longevity.

如果說愛因斯坦是20世紀(jì)為科學(xué)做出最大貢獻(xiàn)的人并不為過，那么如果說卓別林是20世紀(jì)為電影業(yè)貢獻(xiàn)最大的人，應(yīng)該也沒有多少人會反對。卓別林是第一個將喜劇帶給中國觀眾的演員，在政治上，她也是中國人的好朋友。他的無聲電影打破了語言的障礙，他的藝術(shù)形式也被公眾所認(rèn)可。在中國，即使在今天，也很難找到一個認(rèn)不出卓別林的人。從古到今有很多偉大的喜劇大師，但沒有一位能在藝術(shù)活力和藝術(shù)生命長度上超越卓別林。
