The film is a black-and-white film with sound, and it is also Chaplin's first sound film, and both the Jewish soldier and Hynkel are played by Chaplin, and the storyline is played alternately with Heckler's life. Plot (only tell the story): 1. World War I: At the end of the First World War, the Jewish artillery rescued the Air Force, but lost his memory because of the air crash; 2. Stabilization: After the artillery returned to his hometown, he continued to open his own barber shop. But the Air Force who had saved him sheltered him and his girlfriend Hannah; 3. Uneasy: The Crystal Night started in full swing, the Nazis blew up the artillery barber shop; the Air Force betrayed Sheckler for justice, and the Air Force and the artillery were sent to the concentration camp at the same time 4. Climax: Air Force and Artillery flee from concentration camps in officers' clothes, and Artillery is championed because they look like Sheckler. Finally, the whole film ends with an impassioned speech. Trivia: 1. In the film, the symbol of the Nazi flag is changed to "XX"; 2. Hannah played by Pauline Gao Dai is really beautiful, courageous, strong and lovely; 3. Germany is called Tomainia in the film.

Closing speech:

s souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than achinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The way of life can be It's free and beautiful, it's just a pity we lost our way. Greed poisons the human soul, builds walls of hatred all over the world, and forces us to take the right step to suffering and massacre. We develop speed, but we isolate ourselves. Machines are supposed to create wealth, but instead they bring us poverty. When we have knowledge, we see through everything; when we learn to be smart and well-behaved, we become ruthless. We use our minds too much and our feelings too little. What we need more is not machines, but humanity. What we need more is not smart and well-behaved, but kindness and warmth. Without these things, life becomes violent, and everything is over. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. Airplanes and radios shorten the distance between us. The nature of these things itself is to give play to the good qualities of human beings; it requires people all over the world to love each other, and we all need to be united with each other. There are millions of people in the world today who love each other and demand that we all unite with each other. My voice is heard by millions of people in the world right now - millions of disappointed men, women, children - and they are all victims of a system that tortures people and tortures innocent people thrown into prison. I say to those who hear me, "Don't despair." We are suffering now only because those who fear human progress are venting their malice and gratifying their greed before they die. The hatred of these people will die, the dictators will die, and the power they took from the people will be returned to the people. As long as we are not afraid of death, freedom will never disappear. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder . Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not achines! 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! Warriors! Don't work for those beasts, they despise you, they enslave you, they rule you, they tell you what to do, what to think, what kind of feelings you should have! They force you to practice, limit your food, treat you as animals, and use you as cannon fodder. Don't be at the mercy of these irrational people, they are all a group of robots, with the heads of robots and the hearts of robots! But you are not machines! You are human! You have human love in your hearts! Do not hate! Only those who are not loved are hated, and those who are not loved and have lost their reason are hated! Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. Warriors! Do not fight for slavery! Fight for freedom! In the seventeenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is in the hearts of men—not in the hearts of one person or a group of people, but in the hearts of all people! in your heart! You people have power - the power to create machines. Has the power to create happiness! You people have the power to build your own good life - to make life meaningful. Then - for the sake of democracy - let's fight for a new world - a world that will give everyone a chance to work - it will give young people a bright future, old age Everyone lives a stable life. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world f reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy let us unite! Those beasts stole power with these promises. However, they are lying! They never keep their promises. They will never fulfill their promises! Dictators themselves enjoy freedom, but they keep people in slavery. Let us fight now, to free the world, to remove the barriers of nations, to remove greed, hatred, stubbornness. Let us fight for a sane world where science and progress will bring happiness to all of us. Soldiers, for democracy, let us unite! Hannah, can you hear me? Wherever you are, look up Hannah. The clouds are lifting! The sun is breaking through! We are coming out of the darkness into the light. We are coming into a new world - a kindlier world, where men will rise above their hate, their greed and their brutality. Look up, Hannah! The soul of man has been given wings and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow - into the light of hope, into the future, the glorious future that belongs to you, to me, and to all of us. Look up, Hannah... look up!" Hana, do you hear what I'm saying? Wherever you are at the moment, look up! Look up, Hana! The dark clouds are dissipating! The sun shines out! We are leaving the darkness and entering the light! We are entering a new world - a more lovely world where people will overcome their greed, their hatred, their cruelty. Look up, Hana! The souls of men have grown wings, and they are finally ready to fly. They flew into the rainbow - into the radiance of hope. Look up, Hana! Look up!

The Great Dictator quotes

  • Adenoid Hynkel: Strange, these strike leaders, they're all brunettes. Not a blonde amongst them.

    Garbitsch: Brunettes are trouble makers. They're worse than the Jews.

    Adenoid Hynkel: Then wipe them out.

    Garbitsch: Start small. Not so fast. We get rid of the Jews first, then concentrate on the brunettes.

    Adenoid Hynkel: We shall never have peace 'til we have a pure Aryan race. How wonderful. Tomainia, a nation of blue-eyed blondes.

    Garbitsch: Why not a blonde Europe, a blonde Asia, and blonde America.

    Adenoid Hynkel: A blonde world.

    Garbitsch: And a brunette dictator.

    Adenoid Hynkel: Dictator of the world!

  • Garbitsch: "Corona veniat electis." Victory shall come to the worthy. Today, democracy, liberty, and equality are words to fool the people. No nation can progress with such ideas. They stand in the way of action. Therefore, we frankly abolish them. In the future, each man will serve the interest of the State with absolute obedience. Let him who refuses beware! The rights of citizenship will be taken away from all Jews and other non-Aryans. They are inferior and therefore enemies of the state. It is the duty of all true Aryans to hate and despise them. Henceforth this nation is annexed to the Tomanian Empire, and the people of this nation will obey the laws bestowed upon us by our great leader, the Dictator of Tomainia, the conqueror of Osterlich, the future Emperor of the World!

    Schultz: You speak.

    A Jewish Barber: I can't.

    Schultz: You must. It's our only hope.
