At the same time that Griffith pioneered the narrative form of film, the comedy narrative form of American films also came into being. However, it was the French, not the Americans, who first invented the cinematic comedy style. As we all know, the comedy factor is already present in Lumiere's...

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be emperor, that's not my goal. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I want to help everyone, Jews, non-Jews, blacks, whites... We want to help each other, as human beings should be. We want a happy life, not a miserable one. We don't want to hate each other. In...

9 points: From a cinematic point of view, there is something missing after the last speech that doesn't give what happened after that. But in the historical sense, this is the highest humanistic achievement of Mr. Chaplin as an artist in his life, and it must surpass the film and be higher than the...

Needless to say how wonderful the great dictator is (especially the speech at the end)

It would still be very much like a stage play. When filming, the curtain was used as the background. Most of the shots were long shots, medium shots, and wide-angle shots. There were no quick edits, no montages,...

　　I'm sorry, but I don't want to be emperor, I don't know this line. I don't want to rule and conquer anyone. I want to do my best to help all people: Jews, non-Jews, blacks, whites, we all want to help each other, people are like that. To live by everyone's happiness and not suffering. We don't...

Chaplin in the audio film era is not as brilliant as he was in the silent film era, mainly because the language carries the task of explaining the plot. Chaplin's performance, who is good at body language expression, is a little redundant. It can be seen from the arrangement of this bridge segment...

Every system has its limitations, and every society has a dark side, but the size is very different. People choose a certain system just to choose the lesser of the two evils, and this choice is not achieved overnight, it must be caused by the game of various strata for a considerable period of...

Chaplin's first sound film, inherited from his past comedy style, portrayed a socially out of character, the Jewish barber Charlie. One of the reasons the film is so influential is the context in which it was created, when Chaplin used his comic exaggeration and parody to ruthlessly satirize and...

Chaplin is undoubtedly one of the greatest comedians of the twentieth century, and I've heard of many of his works, but it's not until today that I'm seeing a full-length film for the first time.

The Great Dictator (an allusion to Hitler) has a similar look to the Little Barber, but one manic, the...

This film is a classic old film of Chaplin. However, I feel that the ending part is a bit rushed. I started to change my identity when there are 20 minutes left. The speech of about 10 minutes, even if the content of the speech is very exciting, still feels a bit rushed.

The most memorable part of...
