Irrelevant? oh, dear. Classic cinema and books are constantly referenced in modern culture. Part of enjoying these modern works is understanding their classic underpins.

Wow, what an edgy statement by someone taking the subject’s name.

If Chaplin is irrelevant today, then so are Da Vinci, Monet, and Dali. And therefore, Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese will be 100 years from now too.

Keep in mind that I was merely referring to him and his "Tramp" character in a branding/memorability perspective. As for his relevance today, although it's off-topic, I certainly disagree, letting this video speak for itself (especially the part where he talks about technology connecting us all). That clip seems to highlight many of the underlying themes of his work - most of which are still, sadly, relevant today. I say "sadly", because relevance implies that several problems in our society remain unchanged.

Charlie Chaplin is irrelevant in our time. Historically important, granted, but largely irrelevant. Fail.
