    It vividly shows the arrogant, paranoid, stubborn, inferior, and cowardly contradictory and perverted personality of the dictator Hitler. The same actor who plays the dictator and the kind civilian is even more impressive. It is a critical reality film masterpiece that satirizes reality. , the last speech is particularly wonderful, can be called a classic, I admire...

    The greatest thing is that it was shot in 1940, and the political significance is greater than the film itself. Hitler was portrayed as a sissy, neurotic and coward. Slap in the face, this is it. I don't know if Hitler himself saw it or not. The part about dancing the balloon died of...

    Chaplin's first sound film, and it was quite brave to be able to make a satire on the Nazis in the 1940s. In the film, Hitler and Mussolini were thoroughly vilified, and the paragraphs where the two did not deal with each other were very interesting. Set up an image of a Jewish barber with the same appearance as Hitler, just like both good and evil, and the last part of the speech is also very meaningful today. It may be a little cliché to return to love, but Chaplin's movies are always without...

    Big time, big man, this is the most successful film in his own opinion, he has successfully combined the two most extreme characters together, the first speech and the last speech are simply a kind of extreme contrasting beauty, with a kind of Black humor completely covers Hitler's psychological changes, ideals and life, which makes people laugh at the same time and can't help but reflect on it from time to time. The top hat, the small suit, the mustache, and the chic gentleman's style is a...

    In the war, a friendship, a love, and after that both affect the trajectory of life. Chaplin plays two extreme people, whose identities can be intertwined but have been suppressed until the end, and the dramatic situation is so intense at the end. War and killing turned into fun and competition, always lacking sufficient reasons, absurd dictatorship. Chaplin's play with music really reached a certain...
