    The speech at the end was really good. It was really brave to make such a film against the background at that time. Only a fair, pure, and idealistic mind can support it. But, purely as a movie, it's really not that great, it's too...

    The front is ok, but the back leaks. But this is 40 years old, it's not...

    In fact, it is not as artistic as the works of Chaplin's silent films at their peak, but it still takes courage to make such a film when the Nazis were at their most arrogant. As Chaplin's first sound film, the last seven-minute speech is already recognized as the best speech in Chaplin's acting...

    A very gorgeous work, the movie itself is impeccable, but I just feel that any historical figure, even if he is extremely vicious, is not enough for us to flog his corpse after his death. What's more, the film is promoting humanism, so why don't you shoot yourself in the...

    Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little: More than machinery we need humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be...

    The silent film era made Chaplin, and his first sound film proved that even the master had to follow the trend of technology into the sound film age. The most surprising thing is that this film was shot in 1940, before the United States entered the war. According to the urination of Chinese politicians, such films that destroy the friendship between the two countries are absolutely not allowed to appear, and they will be killed at the approval...

    Form is still blunt, but also extremely talented. The speech at the end was really unreasonable, but what about this time when it was out of the ordinary? Do your part, that's what it...

    Some of the passages are well shot, with whimsy (the plane is reversed), the satire of clowning the villain is not clever, and it is good to cool down your anger and chicken blood when speaking. The bigger problem is the lack of structure and logic. The same appearance (implying that it is too urgent to fry each other) did not cause confusion before, and was finally mistaken for the head of state who did not prepare well, and it is difficult for a speech with a very intellectual tone to come...

    great artist. While ensuring the level of art, the combination of art and reality brings comfort and encouragement to the world. The deconstructed sarcasm that runs through the film clearly says that dictatorships are paper tigers. The last speech brought tears to my...

The Great Dictator quotes

  • Heinrich Schtick - Translator: His Excellency leaves the scene of his triumph and will return to the palace along Hynkel Strasse, The Avenue of Culture, where he will pass Tomainia's modern masterpieces, The 'Venus of Today' and the 'Hynkel of Tomorrow.'

  • Adenoid Hynkel: How was it?

    Garbitsch: The speech?

    Adenoid Hynkel: Yes.

    Garbitsch: Very good. I thought your reference to the Jews might have been more violent.

    Adenoid Hynkel: What?

    Garbitsch: We've got to rouse the people's anger. At this time, violence against the Jews might take the public's mind off it's stomach.
