a tad disappointed in Charlie's dinner roll dance

don't misunderstand me, i'm not disappointed in the actual scene. it's the greatest thing in the world ever always. allow me to explain.

I first saw the scene done in Benny and Joon, before I had discovered classic comedy and the silent film legends such as Charlie Chaplin. When I saw Johnny Depp do it, it totally blew my mind and I thought it was the greatest thing i had ever seen. Some time later, i decided to watch The Gold Rush and Charlie's dinner roll dance become the new greatest thing I had ever seen. But I was very disappointed when I found out that he had gotten "inspired" to do the gag from The Rough House, a Fatty Arbuckle (who had performed it) and Buster Keaton (who had written it) short. In the film, Fatty does the exact gag, but he only does it for about 5-10 seconds. Now, comparing it to Charlie's, you could say that Charlie "perfected" it, or he "improved" it, but it still disappoints me because I thought that Charlie had come up with it by himself. I was almost afraid to watch The Rough House, because I was afraid that Charlie had copied it exactly. I was somewhat relieved when I found that he didn't. Even though he disappointed me, I still feel like Charlie deserves a lot of praise for the scene. It's one of the funniest, coolest, most iconic scenes in film history and only Charlie Chaplin could have brought it to such status. Besides, you know what they say, there is no such thing as originality. Everybody stole everything from somewhere. I guess it's not a big deal, but it still bothers me.
