  Ralph Chaplin
Ralph Chaplin (1887-1961) became a labor activist, when at the age of seven, he saw a worker shot dead during the Pullman strike[?] in Chicago.
In 1917 Chaplin and some 100 other Wobblies were rounded up, convicted, and jailed under the Espionage Act for conspiring to hinder the draft and encourage desertion[?].
Although he continued to work for labor rights after his release from prison, Chaplin was very disillusioned by the aftermath of the Russian Revolution; however, he was also not pleased by the course of New Deal liberalism.

Chaplin - It's a monumental biopic that cheapens the hero's successes by glossing over the failures that surely also shaped the man. By Rita Kempley.
Chaplin - Based on Chaplin's factually airbrushed 'My Autobiography' and David Robinson's 'Chaplin: His Life and Art,' the movie gives you a little bit of everything and, therefore, nothing.
Chaplin - Historically, it's a joke, crushing chronology, distorting characters, trivializing film history, but all that could be forgiven if it only had a brain, or a mind, or a heart.
