5 stars for the final speech

"Sanmao Congjunji" was inspired by the stupid performance of the previous war, right?

In Chaplin's films, there is always a poor but kind and beautiful girl. Stephen Chow's movies (after he can really control a movie) basically have such a girl.

Posting the envelope is a laugh.

Showing the invention of this, it is obvious that many films in later generations have learned from them, such as Western films and Hong Kong films such as "The Secret Agent in the Big Inner".

The one that eats the coin, I seriously doubt that Jin Yong's writing "The Deer and the Ding" will draw lots to assassinate the emperor. This is the reference.

The low chair died of laughter.

Tanks in haystacks.

The final speech is comparable to that of "Scent of a Woman and Knowing a Woman". Even "I have a dream".

    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 and breaking down barriers. Chaplin is a fighter in the consumer society

    The speech at the end was really good. It was really brave to make such a film against the background at that time. Only a fair, pure, and idealistic mind can support it. But, purely as a movie, it's really not that great, it's too verbose.

The Great Dictator quotes

  • Adenoid Hynkel: [in the middle of a speech in which he rants in "German"] Phooey!

  • Adenoid Hynkel: Garbitsch, what's the meaning of this? These appropriations? Twenty-five million for prison camps when we need every penny for the manufacturing of ammunition's?

    Garbitsch: We've had to make a few arrests.

    Adenoid Hynkel: A few? How many?

    Garbitsch: Nothing astronomical. Five or ten thousand.

    Adenoid Hynkel: Oh.

    Garbitsch: A day.

    Adenoid Hynkel: A day?

    Garbitsch: Just a few dissenters, that's all.
