Review of The Great Dictator (1940) by Géraldine P — 13 Mar 2009
Infinitely better than duck soup, a film I sure it is compared to often. the speech at the end is quite wonderful, as is the mise-en-scene throughout. I think, however, that I am not as big a fan of the chaplin brand of physical comedy as most, and I feel the one liners, while funny, are not utter genius as some claim.
the thing I thought was funniest was the random digressions into german whenever hynkel got furious, and the subtle accuracies of the language mixed in with the copious mentions of weinerschnitzel.
