    Reflecting politics, reflecting the current situation, using crazy and nonsensical performances to restore the arrogance and brutality of the two European leaders of the Axis powers, using the panic of the Jewish residents all day to insinuate Hitler's anti-human genocide policy, and using a five-minute face to face the whole world. The passionate speeches about resisting fascism and striving for human freedom and peace all over the world expressed the great vision that fascism will eventually...

    Chaplin has a voice. In the audio age, he always tried to use this voice to express some opinions, but he also lost the perfect balance in the silent film, so that the final speech was enthusiastic, but also slightly abrupt. In the silent film, he doesn't say anything, but there is a difference in the sense of sound, but the reason why the film is great is precisely from these voices he made, especially in that...

    The comedy guru Chaplin's first sound film, which blends political satire with comedy, showcases Chaplin's laudable moral courage. It can be said that this film is the most daring spoof in film history. The bird language that Chaplin said in his speech was indeed very similar to German, and the imitation of Hitler was also vivid. Although the film was banned in Germany at the time, it won the respect of fans around the world. I have to say that Chaplin is really...

    This film is no longer a silent movie, but it did not affect his performance, especially the last speech, which really expressed the people's voices against war and love of peace at that time... In addition, I found out that he It looks a bit like Hitler,...

    The reason why the film is highly praised is probably inseparable from the times. In itself, the dramatic tension is very strong, but it is not as deafening as Chaplin's other "Modern...

    Joy comes from sadness, sadness goes with joy. Not Chaplin's best comedy, but maybe the best Chaplin in...

    From a silent film to a sound film, Charles Chaplin's ability to adapt is relatively strong. He continues his usual acerbic satire and maintains a personal comedy style. The two narrative lines appear to be advancing independently, but in fact they are closely intertwined and influence each other. The only regret is that in the performance, Charles Chaplin's expressions and movements are in place, but his lines are a bit weak. The last speech is especially obvious and lacks...

    Obviously, the main point of "sound" has not been grasped. The meaning of sound is not just that the characters can be heard when they speak. The key lies in the wonderful presentation of the lines as the main means of expression. This first attempt at cry still relies on silent film forms such as comical and exaggerated body and picture performance, and the plots are outdated and nothing...

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.
