During the Red Scare of the late 1940s and early 1950s, legendary actor and film maker Charlie Chaplin, who never gave up his British citizenship and was well-known for his liberal politics, ran afoul of the U.S. Government and was refused re-entry to the country on September 19, 1952, where he had been living and working for almost forty years.

"We think too much and feel too little" - Charlie Chaplin
The great dictator
yeah well, now people seem to feel too much and think too little...
The speech from "The great dictator" is still relevant today.
NOT ON RUclips! LOL
His house in Vevey, Switzerland is now a well done museum. It doesn’t skirt the issues; provides great insights into his life. Highly recommended.
I like this format! Would love to see a piece on Ansel Adams and his photography on this or your other fine channels.
Ahhhhhhh cold War America at its finest.....
As a Chaplin I approve of this video.
Are you related??
The renown he'd never gotten in the US? What are you talking about? He was easily one of the most famous and prominent figures in all of entertainment history until after the end of the silent film era.
Considering it was on the shores of Geneva, I half expected that story to take a much darker, Shelly-esque turn.
Now feelings rule over thinking.
I never understood the attraction of Chaplin as a comedic talent, but it seems that mccarthyism cut of the nose of Americans to spite their collective faces. 👍🇬🇧🏴
Hitler loved the movie the Great Dictator and there's a record that say's that Hitler had seen that movie twice.
source?
Elvis! Nice
Charlie was a cool dude
3:05 - Bonus fact
I am listening to recordings of the press confernece he gave about his "patriotism" and I want to know if there is another copy of it. I can't download it

Next Laurel & Hardy?
SLOW DOWN
Did the “making the bread rolls dance on forks” really happen when Charlie Chaplin was at a dinner party with J Edgar Hoover?
We was told that was where the hate for him started by hoover.
assuming you're referring to the scene in the Chaplin movie with Robert Downey Jr, no that never actually happened. Hoover and Chaplin never met in person, though Hoover had a file on Chaplin detailing possible Communist sympathies as early as 1919
Nabulione ah ok thank you for setting that straight for me.
As someone already mentioned, no that didn't really happen. However, in his 1921 film "The Gold Rush" there is a scene in which he makes the bread rolls dance on forks. In the movie "Chaplin" with RDJ I assume the producers just took that scene and wanted to put it into the not-entirely-accurate portrayal of Charlie's life to make it more interesting as Hollywood does :)
I believe it's thought he did that as a nod to Rocoe Arbuckle who's career had been ruined at this time by a false accusation of rape and murder. Arbuckle was the first to do the bread role dance in one of his own films. From 1916 I believe.
Nothing says freedom like banning people for wrong think- wait...

This video should have been shared with all Ukrainians, they deserve to know this man was!...
Whats wrong with being a communist?
According to 20th century America, being communist was equivalent to being a Satan worshipping demonic child murderer.
As if dead alive..lol
J. Edgar was just jealous that Charlie was such a ladies man and J. Edgar was a man-lady.
Umm what's wrong with being trans?
Nothing at all unless you're a hypocrite like Hoover
@@barrywerdell2614 oh I didn't know you were nominated as the gatekeeper to who is and isn't allowed to be trans.
@@hedonisticzen We don't know that Hoover was transsexual. What we know, is that he was a cross dresser. Regardless, it's not about who's allowed to be trans or cross dressers. It's about the fact that hypocrites are assholes. No one did more to persecute vulnerable minorities than Hoover did, including political, racial, cultural, and sexual minorities. Other cross-dressers ended up with public humiliation, ruined careers, and possibly prison, as a result of Hoover's policies and activities. He was the ultimate conservative, authoritarian moralist.
If he had just been a cross dresser or transsexual, that would've been fine. If he'd just been a conservative, authoritarian moralist, that wouldn't exactly have been fine, but he might still have had some integrity. However, he was both, which means that he was a hypocrite.
If you feel like it's improper for people to make themselves "gatekeepers to who is and isn't allowed" to be hypocrites, then make your point known. However, shut up with the ridiculous straw-man argumentation you learned in "gender science" at some academically bankrupt university.
Mr. Whistler: Thank you for the truth, once again. Mr. Chaplin was a Mega Artist, without question. Our nation (US) stops at nothing when it is asserting its mania, and has always been hate-filled and xenophobic to the extreme. Witness the current presidential election, and all the ballyhoo that goes with it. As I sit here on the 4th, my soul aches for the comfort of democracy's and truth's return.

McCarthy had nothing to do with Hollywood.
Riiiigght . . . .
@@donna30044 It was about communist in the Government. He had no power over Hollywood, but you keep being a sheep for the left it fits you well.
Mfw ppl really out here shilling for Hollywood of all the shit
@@ChickenPermissionOG You're a fucking moron, with no knowledge of history.
The McCarthy hearings were initially framed as a search for "communist infiltrators" in the government and public sector. However, it quickly expanded to include all "communist" presence in society. Eventually, it became at least as much about moralism as anything else, and perceived "degenerates" were targeted. That meant the creative communities, and especially Hollywood. The number of directors, screenwriters, actors, artists and authors that had their lives ruined was staggering.
Also, McCarthy*ism* was much more than the actual McCarthy hearings; it refers to the nation wide political and cultural climate that the hearings were both the result of, and driving force in.
