New on 500px : Charlie Chaplin is a beloved figure in Cuba. by tmrother by tmrother

This was just a Charlie Chaplin themed coffee shop on Holguín main square. He is beloved figure in Cuba. His leftist thinking and work was ideologically fine with Castro. His works was shown extensively there. Ch.Ch. has even cinema named after him in Havana. In the USA, Chaplin was shown the boot in 1952 and American kids were fed syrupy Disney movies. In Toronto Ch.Ch movies are also shown rarely. I grew up with Charlie Chaplin and I believe it made me a better adult. Image of Charles Chaplin and Jackie Coogan in “El Chico” (The Kid-1921), is from Suzanne Thierry archives.
