Chaplin's Smile teached


''We think too much and feel too little'' he says

his mustache is equal to a brute,but himself is a man of brilliant art

Chaplin was my first hero,my first comedian,my first inspiration

What grace is to bring light to one's heart!

To be other person,to find yourself in another person

To memorize,get dirty and sharp your instrument

what a bless to serve as a recipient of emotions

be used and love it

who is the crazy one who tought you could teach someone to act?

From Brando,to Hepburn and Olivier

all them glazzed in the light of glory

but Chaplin was the one who said

“It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.”

who is the one  to find beauty in a fool?

Well,I did

and I feel in love with his art

he looks at the blind girl

I awake

The beauty of cinema in the mise en cene

is the vien en rose of my soul

gallope in the marvelous world of dreams

that becomes  instrumental in a film reel

cine, película,cinéma, film!

Saved me in the past,will guide me in my future

can show the naked truth and teach us ordinary lies

a matter of fact is a part of each one of us

and when the lights goes off

slowly

you sleep

and when you wake up

you're not yourself anymore

whatever I am now because of Spilberg,Hitchcook,and Chaplin

I will change in the next section

until I am able to change someone
