9 points: From a cinematic point of view, there is something missing after the last speech that doesn't give what happened after that. But in the historical sense, this is the highest humanistic achievement of Mr. Chaplin as an artist in his life, and it must surpass the film and be higher than the film. Apart from this ending, the whole film is Chaplin's first sound film, and the degree of completion is also very high. Even in some bridges, he is still reluctant to give up the set of physical rhythms that he was good at in the silent film era, but those fragments. It's still an eye-catching highlight. In addition, the comedic satire of Hitler really uses the simplest elements to achieve the greatest effect, especially the set of his self-created set that sounds like German to a layman, while someone who understands German sounds like a language of birds. system, very interesting. The distinction between the characters who play the two roles is also very clear in the creation and the performance is in place.
