Ben wasn't going to write anything, the great dictator is fine. A bit of a serious person like me may prefer themes like country, society, humanity and values. War has indeed produced many great movies as a theme, and the great dictator is one of them. The two fictional dictator countries in the movie are the prototypes of Germany and Italy, and the dictators are Hitler and Mussolini. The arrogance and arrogance of the dictator, the ridiculous fall of the chain, the comparison, and the arrogant disputes, incite hatred, the society is radicalized, the ugly side of human nature is stimulated, and it constitutes a society with strong organizational mobilization and execution capabilities. system. A dictatorship can be the most efficient system. On the other hand, there is the sad situation of the Jews, who have lived in Germany for a long time and have made it their home, but face hostility from the government and are considered to be the cause of the suffering of inferior nations and nations, with property illegally seized and people arrested and enslaved abuse and killing. The barber just wants to rely on his craftsmanship and barbershop to live his ordinary and happy life. But the entire state machine has been activated and has begun to enter an abnormal state. As a Jew, it is no longer possible to live a normal life. He was arrested along with Schultz, a friend he knew on the battlefield, the former commander of the Stormtroopers, and escaped, and was finally mistaken for Hitler to deliver a passionate speech calling on people to pursue democracy and freedom, adhere to humanitarianism, but not to dictatorship. and war. The purpose of this film is anti-fascism, and the object of criticism and satire is clear at a glance. It was released in 1940. It is said that Hitler watched it alone, and he does not know how to evaluate it. To be able to face the brutality of fascism and to use such a film to criticize and oppose fascism directly and poignantly is already a kind of artistic and political bravery. There is real hatred and full of emotion in it. Meaning is great. The cruelty of the world is always unexpected. It is difficult for people who live in peace and comfort to imagine how the world will turn bad. I am grateful for the stability and peace of the country, but I also see many risks and challenges facing the country. Taking on the responsibility of a great power is not something that very people can do, that it is not something that can be done by speakers and demagogues, and it is not something that can be done by actors and reality TV actors. A beautiful world needs to be created and defended together. We can criticize, but not go to extremes. The golden mean is impartiality, it is mature and prudent, it is not irresponsible, reckless, impulsive and self-indulgent. Society needs organization, but organization also constrains individuals. The balance between organization and freedom needs to be grasped and determined according to the needs of the situation. Freedom is not absolute. The individual and the collective are closely related at a certain level. When the individual is truly needed, he cannot deny his responsibility. Humans are not perfect, there will always be conflicts of interest, ideas Disagreement and emotional estrangement are doomed to inevitable disputes of various forms and scales. But there are ways to resolve disputes, and they don't necessarily have to be extreme. It is absolutely unacceptable to believe in violence and to be obsessed with violence, but the necessity of violence cannot be denied. As the decisive meta-force of human society, violence is the foundation of order, the guarantee of the bottom layer of order, and maintains the existence of the whole. Violence is equally destructive and can destroy order. We use violence to create a good order that protects stability, rather than aggression, destruction and destruction of other orders and people.

    The movie in 1940, after watching this year, I was even more speechless and condensed. Combined with its historical significance, I can't think of other adjectives except "great". Genuinely wraps the deepest and heaviest suffering gently with jokes and wit. In the wind and rain of gunpowder and despair, this movie is like the sun in the sky, so firmly conveys optimism and spreads hope.

    Balloon dance and final speech, idealistic; average look, with some silent film-style jokes in between to enhance the irony, but it doesn't seem out of place.
