Chaplin is a 1992 American biographical film about the life of English comedian Charlie Chaplin. It was produced and directed by Richard Attenborough and stars Robert Downey, Jr., Dan Aykroyd, Kevin Kline, and Anthony Hopkins. It also features Geraldine Chaplin in the role of her own paternal grandmother, Hannah Chaplin.
The film was adapted by Diana Hawkins, William Boyd, Bryan Forbes and William Goldman from the books My Autobiography by Chaplin and Chaplin: His Life and Art by film critic David Robinson. The original music score was composed by John Barry.
The film is structured around lengthy flashbacks as the elderly Chaplin recollects moments from his life during a conversation with fictional character George Hayden (Anthony Hopkins), the editor of his autobiography. Chaplin's recollections begin with his childhood of extreme poverty, from which he escapes by immersing himself in the world of the London music halls, after which he relocates to the United States.
There are references to some of his many romantic episodes (including Hetty Kelly, Mildred Harris, Georgia Hale, Marion Davies, Edna Purviance, Lita Grey, Paulette Goddard, Joan Barry and Oona O'Neill), his professional collaboration with Mack Sennett and friendship with Douglas Fairbanks.
Bangshi Das is an impersonator of Charlie Chaplin. He earns peanuts by being the 'joker' at birthday parties. However, he prefers to call himself an actor rather than a worker. His life circles around his son who is the greatest critic of his performances. Poverty never seems bitter as the father-son duo knows how to make fun of it.

Plot: August 1999, The days of the Total Solar Eclipse. A rundown villa on the edge of the sea is transformed into a dogs' home which frequently also provides shelter for chance visitors. The lady who owns it was once a famous opera singer who now shares her loneliness with an old friend. Her extravagant shows are a daily occurrence for the visitors. Every year she plays out her own death like an opera performance, the date of which has been predicted by a famous clairvoyant without specifying the year. Every new visitor becomes unwittingly involved in these performances. One evening, a 20 year-old boy turns up at the home. The singer falls in love with him and tries in every way possible to attract his attention. Her elderly friend tries in Vein to overcome his burning envy. The conflicts between the main characters become more and more cruel while the performances of the singer become madder and madder and more and more humiliating. She drags an elderly tramp that makes a living imitating Charlie Chaplin into her cruel game. The boy who has no idea about the passions he has unleashed is also drawn into the performance. However, he is wounded by events and he tries to find refuge in the drugs and alcohol of his peers who have pitched their tents on the beach. The two elderly inhabitants of the home remain alone, face to face with hatred, love and death. There is only one gesture left - that of friendship towards the dogs.
