Review of The Great Dictator (1940) by King L — 30 Jan 2016
I've never seen any of Charlie Chaplin's movies until now, prior to this I've only seen excerpts of his films. There's no doubt who Chaplin is satirizing in this movie. This is considered one of Chaplin's best and I can understand why.
Chaplin is very funny as he does his classic comedy routine as a bumbling barber and the narcissistic and self-absorbed dictator. Chaplin's ending impassioned soliloquy which calls for freedom, democracy and respect for all men makes this film quite inspiring.
