The Great Dictator

"I am absolutely amazed that this film was Charlie Chaplin's FIRST talkie. He completely understood the political climate of the time, and the blend of drama and comedy was the perfect amount."

"A film by Charlie Chaplin, which in the last five minutes discard the character he is playing to send a message about those who would suppress a persons voice to be heard! Speaking volumes evening today, as we should be working together as the world is past the point of isolationist and drives towards globalization!"

"Shaving scene. 🥰 I can’t think of any other movies coming out at this time willing to talk about the Jewish ghettos as this one did. My beef with Chaplin’s personal life aside, I’m glad he broke his silence for a cause this important."

"i heard all the praise for the final speech in this thing and still it hit me so incredibly hard. beautiful and gorgeous and everyone needs to hear it. it is going to stick with me for a very long time. i thoroughly enjoyed this whole thing. the comedy and drama mix was flawless. it was so powerful. i laughed and i felt. there’s not much more i ask for out of a movie. "

"A gutsy statement by Chaplin, released over a year before Pearl Harbor."

"Charlie SPEAKS. "
