Chaplin's performance is very in place, it can be said that it is full of passion. His neurotic expression and exaggerated actions make people never get tired of watching it, completely different from the boring gimmicks in ordinary comedy films that make people want to laugh and watch twice. When he heard his subordinates accuse him of his rule, he put down his hands subconsciously because he was afraid, listened to Napoleon Ronnie's cunning eyes when he bargained with him, and the rich expressions and actions when he incited the masses. He made him one of the most successful comedic characters in comedy history without diminishing his character as a dictator.

    The funny action language belongs to the silent film era, and the passionate anti-dictatorship speech belongs to the sound film, because the little description of the film in the biography of "Chaplin" stimulates the impulse to watch the film completely, which can be the most rampant in the Nazi dictatorship. At that time, under the pressure of fascism, to shoot such a work, I had to admire Chaplin's courage and justice. ——"The dictator will die, and the rights they have taken from the people will be returned to 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 works.

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.
