Movie review of The Great Dictator
***Movie review on The Great Dictator...
Today we have a movie screening of The Great Dictator, on 30,June 2018...
Charlie Chaplin is best known for his silent films, but "The Great Dictator" was his first proper speaking film...
The movie was released in 1940 and set during the 30's, The Great Dictator is a vicious and biting satire of the rise of
'Adolf Hitler'....
Charlie Chaplin plays two roles: Adenoid Hynkel, an obvious parody of Hitler and also an unnamed Jewish barber who becomes an unlikely leader of a resistance movement..
Chaplin is regarded as a comic actor, However I think that Chaplin balanced the dark tone with the comic elements well. For example, just as the Jewish barber character is about to get lynched, he is saved at the last minute by a German officer whom he had fought with in the First World War, somehow the Jewish Barber is suffering from amensia and can't remember who his saviour is....
I didn't enjoyed this film much...It was dark, still it was also funny. It had some ridiculous moments but also hilarious ones.
“It seems our laws are always telling us what not to do – are always keeping us from enjoying ourselves. Human beings are made just as much for having fun as goose-stepping and sweating in factories.” – Charlie Chaplin...
