The Great Dictator is a 1940 American satirical comedy-drama film written, directed, produced, scored by, and starring British comedian Charlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films. Having been the only Hollywood filmmaker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, Chaplin made this his first true sound film.

Chaplin's film advanced a stirring condemnation of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, fascism, antisemitism, and the Nazis. 

At the time of its first release, the United States was still formally at peace with Nazi Germany and neutral during what were the early days of World War II. Chaplin plays both leading roles: a ruthless fascist dictator and a persecuted Jewish barber.

The Great Dictator was popular with audiences, becoming Chaplin's most commercially successful film. Modern critics have praised it as a historically significant film, one of the greatest comedy films ever made and an important work of satire. Chaplin's climactic monologue has frequently been listed by critics, historians and film buffs as perhaps the greatest monologue in film history, and possibly the most poignant recorded speech of the 20th century. In 1997, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".  

The Great Dictator was nominated for five Academy Awards – Outstanding Production, Best Actor, Best Writing (Original Screenplay), Best Supporting Actor for Jack Oakie, and Best Music (Original Score).

In his 1964 autobiography, Chaplin stated that he could not have made the film if he had known about the true extent of the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps at that time.

Greatest Speech Ever!!

No Music 

👇 🎥 👇

Comments: Blind Side: thank god I found a version without that stupid music. The speech needs to stand on it's own, not with the help of a soundtrack. THAT is what made this powerful. not the inception music.

Food Fight

👇 🎥 👇

The conference between Hynkel and Napaloni to establish a peace treaty, as funny as it is, is used by Chaplin to make an important point.
When the two "leaders" start throwing food at each other, Chaplin is showing us what dictators are: 

spoiled children, egomaniacs who cannot compromise, who insist on having their own way.

Comments:

1. Garrick Groover:  Still relevant today as it was back in the the 1940s. Humanity never learns.
2. TitoRag:  76 years later - We still need this speech and that makes me really, really sad
3. Herpy Depth:  Ironic how a silent film actor made the greatest movie speech of all time that is relevant even to today
4. Joseph gil:  Who is watching this in 2020? We need this more than ever.
5. dadoody:  This movie got Charlie Chaplin banned from the United States. You'd think it's an attack on Hitler, but it was an attack on all world leadership. At least the US saw it that way as well.
6. Lord Farquaad:  they just didn't appreciate him calling soldiers "machine men with machine minds" - among other things. No one cared if you were a communist until after ww2 when the cold war began. This was before the US even entered ww2.
7. Michael Ojeda:  "Machinery that was designed to give us plenty now leaves us in want."  Those words alone speak for the 21st century
8. Punished Chen:  I love how he's actually parodying Hitlers way of giving speeches. Oh Charlie, if you only knew what would follow...
9. Hrvoje Brzica:  Greatest silent film actor gave the greatest speech

Kayzz Ngatai: Good to see the words and soak them in.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone if possible.
Jew - Gentile - Black Man - White.
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other's happiness.
Not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
And this world has room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical.
Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much, and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More that cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. ...
Soldiers! don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel!
Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines! You are not cattle!  You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate!
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers!  Don't fight for slavery!   Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: "the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!  In you!
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines.    The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite.
Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power.
But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise.  They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!
Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.Soldiers!

In the name of democracy, let us all unite!
