Robert Downey Jr. was very captivating as Charlie Chaplin in Chaplin. His physical transformation, including Chaplin's famous mustache and bowler hat, was flawless. His performance was not just a mimicry of the appearance of Chaplin but also the comic timing, the physicality, and the spirit of Chaplin's work. The film explores Chaplin's life, both personal and professional, and Downey's poignant portrayal earned him an Academy Award nomination.
