9 points: From a cinematic point of view, there is something missing after the last speech that doesn't give what happened after that.

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.

    The first Chaplin sound film I watched, the usual black humor was used to Hitler in every possible way this time, and there was always a beautiful "Zhuo girl" as the heroine, who played two roles by one person. The two lines are interspersed smoothly, and the final speech is hailed as one of the greatest speeches in film history.
