De Niro also noted that the namesake of his award, Charlie Chaplin, was "an immigrant who probably wouldn't pass today's 'extreme vetting,’" adding, "I hope we're not keeping out the next Chaplin."

Chaplin sided with the Communists. Stalin was a horrible man, murderous, despotic, and these shills still "holster" his schlong.

That Chaplin did and he also, like Al Capone,l played "games" re paying his taxes.

Chaplin was NOT the innovator that many claim he was. He STOLE many of the things he did and claimed as his own ( especially the "potato dance" ) from Stan Laurel and others who were STARS of the Brit Music Hall!

And then, there is the FACT that Charlie was a damned pedophile!

De Niro is stupid, uneducated, and his movies are NOT "art". Neither is the vast majority of the crap that is funded by the government, which De Niro's stuff isn't.
