    9.5 points, 1940 was when Hitler's power was at its height, but Chaplin dared to risk his life to make a film that satirized Hitler. This is the integrity of a filmmaker! Chaplin was known for his comedy, but he was mostly satirical. It's ridiculous to see a political satire movie as a comedy. Much better than "Escape from the Tiger's...

    Even if the last speech was good, it was far from a silent film. Too much reliance on language, connecting plots, loudly, too many lines too dense, the charm of body movement performance is greatly reduced. //The part where the head of state dances around the earth in the room is not bad. Comedy films usually have songs and dances, like Stephen Chow's song of Char Siu Bao dancing in Shanghai. For me, Chaplin is a comedy (the successor is Stephen Chow), while Buster Keaton is more of an action...

    Satire Hitler. The blurry black-and-white image quality in the front and the way of performing with exaggerated body expressions almost made me give up. I am willing to give five stars for the last speech...

    You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate. Only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for...

    Chaplin created an incomprehensible language for dictators, full of hyperactive gibberish, full of clear pronunciation of "garbage" and "banana" and pouring cold water into the crotch. The daily life of a dictator is all about manipulating the odds and playing with the earth, and negotiation is designed to be about ripping ramen noodles and devouring mustard. The final speech is not only about freedom and democracy, but also about the Marxist manifesto about national wealth serving the people...

    [Political satire comedy/9.5] When the film first came out, the world laughed at him as a fool, but after it turned out, the world thought he was a genius... Appreciate his insight. What the film presents can only be elevated to art when it is combined with political satire... Otherwise, it will always remain between juggling and frolic. One of my favorite Chaplin...

    As far as a movie is concerned, I don't think it's good, and I'm not very happy to watch it. But the movie was born during World War II and it seemed like it was good...

    Let me guess what Hitler was thinking after watching this film

          Hitler was thinking: Palin has packed me so well, is there anyone in this world who is not afraid or worships me?
        After listening to a lot of Nazi jokes, I always think Hitler, the devil leader, is also very cute, even though I don't know what kind of person he is. But thinking...

    Excerpts from the closing speech

    Unfortunately, I don't want to be emperor, that's not what I do. I neither want to rule anyone nor conquer anyone. If possible, I would love to help all people, Jewish and non-Jewish, black and white. We all need to help each other. That's how it should be. We should build our lives on the...

The Great Dictator quotes

  • Napaloni - Dictator of Bacteria: Ah, this is a lovely place! I been-a fine. I just had-a nice-a cold shower. And that bath tub - as soon as you get the plumbing fixed, it'll be in-a good-a shape.

  • Schultz: There it is! The village of Pretzelberg.

    A Jewish Barber: Pretzelberg?

    Schultz: If we can pass through there, we're safe across the Osterlich border.
