The final speech of The Great Dictator: Human freedom and love is a beautiful dream

"The Great Dictator" is a serious film. The record of the persecution of Jews gives it a dignified sense of reality. It no longer has the lightness of comedy, but a serious film that requires people to face war, the relationship between individuals and groups. .

The world is absurd, and the country known for its rationality is the most insane and irrational, and the country known for its graceful and gentlemanly demeanor may also be the most savage and bloody. Anyone who is proud of a certain trait often makes the opposite mistake.

Funny passage from "The Great Dictator"

During that time, the ignorant soldiers on the battlefield mingled with each other in the thick fog. Chaplin held a gun and thought he had found a large army, but it was found that the uniform was wrong and he walked into the opponent's team.

Hitler was furious, and without saying a word, he began to snap off the medals and buttons on the fat marshal's chest, until he was about to unbutton the other's underwear, which made people laugh.

Personally, the funniest passage is the PK between Hitler and another dictator, Mussolini. The actor who played Mussolini showed the other party's straightforward and informal character to the fullest. It can be seen that this actor is also a very humorous and funny person. With confident gestures and swaggering walking posture, it can be seen that he is a very confident and arrogant person. Two people sitting on a chair lift soaring high, arguing about boundaries and how to divide the world, is the funniest scene in the movie. After watching the movie, I thought this character was too funny, too brilliant. The rhythm and gestures of Haw-jaw's speech are very Italian and hilarious, and Jack Oak's performance is amazing, natural and smooth, and the brilliant supporting role also adds a lot to the film.

There is no doubt that the speech delivered by the barber played by Chaplin pretending to be Hitler in the movie "The Great Dictator" is the most quintessential part of the movie. Dreams of freedom and love:

The world is so big and there is room for it

The earth is rich in resources, enough for everyone

Life can be free and happy.

But we're lost, poisoned by greed

Hate blocks the world

Manipulate us into a sad and bloody trap

The advancement of technology has made us more closed

Machines that produce wealth make us more flawed

Knowledge makes us cynical

Our intelligence is ruthless

We use our brains but forget to use our hearts

We don't need machines, we need humanity

No need for intelligence, but kindness and tenderness

without these qualities

life becomes brutal

everything will be lost

The excerpted passage is thought-provoking and very ideological even today. Has reality gotten better? People need to think and reflect, where is our bright future?

Why the more advanced technology, the lonelier human beings?

Why is it that the more the economy develops, the more impoverished the spirit is?

Why does the expected happiness not come, but the depression is more and more?

Why is it that the more you call for love, the more hatred between people and each other?

    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.

    Not as expressive as his slients, and a bit too long.
