VOTD: Charlie Chaplin in The Matrix

What if The Matrix was made in 1905 as a silent comedy starring Charlie Chaplin? It would probably look something like this 7-minute Russian television skit, embedded after the jump.

    Pretty lame, but some of the similarities to the Matrix were pretty uncanny.
  • You realize this was all intentional right?
  • Brendan McD
    I do...now.

    That's from Ukrainian channel actually, not Russian.

    Excellent parody on silent movies. Much better than Cthulhu.

    Odvan,
    it is from a Russian Channel 1

    show is called "Big "Difference" or Bolshaya Raznica in russian
  • odvan
    Yea you are right. I was misleading by 'ICTV' signature in upper left corner - that's Ukrainian channel.

    Weak. Also, is it the height of anal retentiveness to point out that Chaplin's first film appearance wasn't until 1914?
  • Probably, but I was about to do the same thing if it makes you feel better.
  • They should've done up the blackface a lot more :P
  • drytoad1
