Sample Sentences

Yeah. I've also seen a lot of Chaplin's movies. The things they talk about all occur in people's daily lives, but the way he portrays them in a funny and exaggerated way give them a special comedic effect. He's even able to make un-funny things hilarious. But after laughing, you always feel a bit bittersweet, and full of sympathy for the oppressed and mistreated. His ``Tramp" has already become a classic.
