Synopsis: The life story of silent film’s most beloved clown, Charlie Chaplin (Robert Downey Jr.) from the poverty of his childhood to his success in Hollywood to his eventual banishment from the United States.

Purr Blur: Chaplin is seen returning to England for the opening of The Kid and just as he arrives in London he receives some devastating news.  He is hailed as a hero by his countrymen but when he enters a pub he is ridiculed by one man.  Depressed, Chaplin wanders the snowy London streets.  As he approaches a short walkthrough a tuxedo cat is seen running away in front of him.  After Chaplin walks through you can barely see the cat enter back the way he’d come.

Final Mewsings: Cats are indifferent to the hardships of comedy legends.
