Again, it was an Oscar honor for Chaplin to accept the Oscar. In 1940, before the outbreak of World War II, the stark satirical film "The Great Dictator" was made, which proved that Chaplin was not just a comedian, but an artist who could sympathize, think, and anger. The reason why he is called a master and not an actor is because he does not only live in movies, but in an alternate world. The final speech of the film has become an immortal classic in the history of world cinema. Human beings should not be enslaved by greed and desire, should not be deceived by money and power, should not be deceived by racial discrimination and social Darwinism, we are born equal and born free, Anyone who tries to challenge this irrefutable truth is a great dictator and will eventually be overturned by the tide of history. The world says that Chaplin's peak is "Modern Times". Although this "The Great Dictator" is inferior to Modern Times in terms of comedy effect, it far surpasses any contemporary era in terms of anti-war and anti-fascism. A movie also gave the appeasement policy of Britain, the United States and France a severe blow. Chaplin's comedy is called laughter with tears, which is also the highest form of comedy, and comedy has a tragic core. It is precisely because of this that today, a hundred years later, Master Chaplin is as firmly attracted to us as he was back then.
