    The great dictator played with the balloon made of the earth between the metacarpal bones, and finally the balloon burst. The design is so wonderful. The closing speech "Fight For Liberty" is amazing! Beautiful irony, beautiful wish, beautiful ending: "Hannah, can you hear me? Wherever you are, look up, Hannah! The clouds are dissipating, the sun is shining through, and we're coming out of the darkness , to the light. We are entering a new world, a kinder world. People are detached from hatred,...

    #2020siff# It can be said that it is very "zzbzq" for works of courage in the context of the era of high pressure at that time. Chaplin's first sound work changed the previous perception of his humorous style with exaggerated body language. Many satirical clips are applicable now. The attitude of racism, deep in the joke, shouted in the...

    I don't think the speech at the end of the film is any good, but it makes the film thin. Look back at the end of City Lights. The old Chaplin lost himself, the spirit is...

    The first Chaplin sound film I watched, the usual black humor was used to Hitler in every possible way this time, and there was always a beautiful "Zhuo girl" as the heroine, who played two roles by one person. The two lines are interspersed smoothly, and the final speech is hailed as one of the greatest speeches in film...

    Above art, above film, its meaning may have gone beyond being a film itself! However, I still love the silent Chaplin more! ! ! In my heart, he is always better silent than...

    The movie in 1940, after watching this year, I was even more speechless and condensed. Combined with its historical significance, I can't think of other adjectives except "great". Genuinely wraps the deepest and heaviest suffering gently with jokes and wit. In the wind and rain of gunpowder and despair, this movie is like the sun in the sky, so firmly conveys optimism and spreads...

    3.5; Fearless courage and abundant emotions make up for the lack of the film itself. The straightforward missionary placement of the last speech is still sobering today, and there may be times when we really no longer need the so-called skills. The comedy sections obviously bear the traces left over from the silent film era, and they are applied to the sound films like laughter. The two sides of one body, darkness and light, correspond to the fall and recovery of human...

    First of all, we must pay tribute to the master Chaplin who dared to express his political views so directly. But not to mention that the movie is really not funny, and the simple clowning of Hitler is really not to my taste. I really don't want to give a higher...

    Great comedy is rooted in reality. Maybe it's because I've watched so many movies of the same genre that when I saw this movie, the comedy in it didn't really make me laugh, but Chaplin's critique of political darkness also showed that an artist The spiritual quality is...

    Chaplin was a unique genius. Because of "amnesia", he keeps falling into the same action whirlpool, upside down, scary and funny. Hynkel speaks so well that delirium, the barber, our silent master, is learning to...

  • 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.
