Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were two of the most well known comedians in the silent film era, but their styles were drastically different. Chaplin's characters were often over sentimental and had a ballet-like fluidity, while Keaton's style favored outright falling and the use of complicated mechanics. Both men made a lasting impact on the motion picture industry.
