This film is not just a great film but a manifesto for all humanity.
Charles Chaplin fearlessly spoke to the world leaders especially Hitler and Mussolini in the height of the WWII as no one else would and dare.
Lots of people sold themselves and changed their minds to be able to adapt to Nazism and Fascism to just live and continue their greedy way of life but not Charles Chaplin.
This is the best Charles Chaplin film ever.
It's just unbelievable to see how much he was aware and informed about atrocities of German Nazi in 1938-1940- pre-production and post-production era - and what Nazism mean and what they're after.
Some parts of the acting done by Chaplin in this masterpiece is just beyond excellent, like German gibberish speeches and that perfect monologue, oh, what can I say about that.
Maybe, as some say, "Perhaps the greatest monologue in film history, and possibly the most poignant recorded speech of the 20th century."
Cinematography is something great about this film which was a collaborating work of Karl Struss and Roland Totheroh.
The Great Dictator was directed, written, produced, scored and starred by Charles Chaplin. Beautifully and strongly.
It was a shout for help to the whole world. Some heard and some didn't and turned to ashes.
It's just extraordinary that how much lots of political references in this film are still relevant and meaningful.
8.5/10.
