"An adventure of a Jewish barber because of his resemblance to the dictator Hitler."
An excellent color sound film born in 1940. Since the birth of sound films in 35 years, Chaplin starred in the first black and white film Modern Times with sound in the following year.
A classic that is as important as the historical significance of the film.
The story takes place between the two wars, 1918-1939.
How did the bomb effect work? How did you take the picture in the air? What about antigravity? (It is said that it is really shot upside down)
In my childhood memory, Chaplin was a kind of vulgar comedy, but when I watched this film, I realized that Chaplin's cold humor is famous all over the world for no reason.
The hitler speech at the beginning is really ironic, but isn't it a bit long...
Great long shot of running from the street to the end and back to the street after being smashed by a frying pan.
Hitler's subordinates said that they should get rid of black hair, which is too ironic. Hitler himself had black hair.
The part of hanging curtains in the office and playing with the earth model with bgm is really indescribable admiration.
The narrative is smooth, the logic is tight, and it is a masterpiece that never tires of watching.
The German that Chaplin learned was hilarious. Hitler and Mussolini at the station and arguing at the restaurant were so classic.
In the end, the culprit was arrested but the head of state was arrested! Barber fled but was treated as the head of state!
The final speech is simply a shadow of history.
Look him in the eyes, Do not despair! Let us all unite!
How excited would I have been if I had seen this film during the tormented World War II.
Looking up at the sky, seeing the rainbow of hope, and hearing the horn of hope - Hannah, that is each of us!
