Because nothing matters

chaplininpictures:

Behind-the-scenes footage of Chaplin directing City Lights, filmed c. 1929 by Chaplin’s friend, Ralph Barton. I find this footage interesting for a number of reasons. First of all, Chaplin is dressed in his Tramp outfit, yet he’s not acting like the Tramp at all.  In one scene, you see him chewing out his Asst. Director Harry Crocker (who was later fired from the production), in other scenes he looks annoyed and preoccupied. You also see him chewing gum, spitting, and in one cute clip, clowning in front of the camera.
