"No, I'm not a comunist "
The 19 September 1952, While Charlie Chaplin is on holiday in England with his family, the Attorney General of the United States of America, Peyton Ford, revoke Charlie the reentry permit, without presenting an official statement. Being the actor British citizen and never having applied for American citizenship, without such permission Chaplin cannot come to the USA.
It is from the 1936 the British actor is accused of sympathizing for the Soviets, Since it produces, directs and plays the movie "Modern Times”. The film is a parody of the American capitalist system, highlighting the precarious condition of the mass worker forced to endless hours of work divided off the Assembly line. His speech to humanity, shot in a single take in his next film "The Great Dictator”, enhances this feeling of hostility. The actor in the role of Hynkel invited the soldiers to lay down their arms and men to live in peace. At the time such statements are interpreted by public opinion and by the American press as little patriotism, and subsequent statements of Chaplin in which praises Russians for Valor during the conflict with the Germans they light the fuse. Every press conference begins with the usual question and answer: "Are you a comunist?”, "No, I'm not a comunist ".
Chaplin became the new Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. And. Hoover, uninvited guest and exit from the country of the actor, in 1952, is the perfect state for him away permanently. Only after the end of the cold war, the United States aware of the error of assessment, will come several times to bring the actor. However, only with the award of the honorary oscar in 1972, in Los Angeles, Charlie is part of the United States.
Oscar night is the day of reconciliation: the public welcomes the actor with a long and warm applause; its unique and moving words are:
"Words are so futile. So weak. "I can only say thank you for the honor of inviting me here.
Oh, you're wonderful. Thanks»
