lonely speaker

The Great Dictator, Chaplin's first sound film in 1940. Chaplin used his own unique way to resist the wanton rampage of the Nazi dictatorship. I especially like Chaplin's last speech. A post-rock band composed the music for that speech. The song is called "Unity". Someone in the comments on NetEase Cloud said: "The person who gave the speech is so lonely." Yes, when the black and white of this world are turned upside down and justice becomes so precious, it takes a lot of courage for those who dare to stand up and resist. Lu Xun once said: "Only silence is the highest contempt", but at that time, silence for too long was condoning evil.

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.
