Still relevant today as it was back in the the 1940s. Humanity never learns.

[@herpydepth1204]

Ironic how a silent film actor made the greatest movie speech of all time that is relevant even to today

[@towlie1600]

When he is silent everyone is laughing. When he talks everyone is silent. Great man great speech

[@save15ormoreonyourcarinsur98]

He said "dictators die" with so much passion in his voice

[@EliasWolf77]

Fun fact Charlie Chaplin hated the idea of movies having sound he feared people hearing his voice yet he ended up creating the best on screen monologue! A true legend, Charlie Chaplin was far beyond his times.

This is the most beautiful speech I've ever heard in my life.

"He didn't always speek, but when he did.. he made the greatest speech of all time.."

It's sad that we so often dismiss this kind of idealism as naive and unrealistic. Nothing he's said is unrealistic - our desire to build each other up really is more fundamental than all of the hatred and greed. If we could only learn to unite and trust one another, we'd have a bond stronger than any natural disaster, than any adversary, could overcome. Come on - we could turn Star Trek into a documentary, people!

I've never seen this film, but I saw a video essay talking about how necessary this film was, especially when the iron was still hot from WWII. The world needed to laugh at the Nazis to be able to move past them and be better. So I was not expecting this speech, to say the least. The thing I find incredible about this speech the most is how he actually takes Hitler's delivery and rhetoric and turns it on its head to have such a positive spin. He literally follows the same tone of speaking. Starting low, calm, and conversational, staying very personal, but when addressing the people and the troops, he raises his tone and passionately yells, moving his whole body. It's genuinely awe insirping how in this speech Charlie Chaplin essentially faced the most destructive and hateful man known on earth at the time and laughed in his face. And when he was through, he told the world not to be afraid and to hope. I have so much respect for Charlie Chaplin after listening to this speech. Absolutely incredible.

When the man famous for never speaking finally did, he had something to say.

"Machinery that was designed to give us plenty now leaves us in want." Those words alone speak for the 21st century

[@FoxSullivan]

Growing up, my dad had a wooden framed print of this speech, plus a picture of Chaplin from another one of his movies. I remember reading this every day I was at home, and as I grew older, the more and more I understood his speech.

[@joshuathomas2012]

A leader isn't a person who makes people feel powerless. A leader is a person who is capable of understanding the potential and abilities of his members/people. He brings the best out of them and inspires the people to bring the best. This in turn benefits the entire team/nation. No one is segregated or separated from this system. A true leader unites people not divide them.

Greatest silent film actor gave the greatest speach

[@Titoichi1986]

76 years later

[@weirdsalt1775]

No matter how many times I listen to this, it's always as powerful as the first time. It gives me chills. It gives me hope through my depression.

[@SurajSinghYT]

IRONICAL

[@reallycoolman4990]

The ending of the film was meant to be funny, but the second he found out France had surrendered , he scrapped the ending at made this exact speech from the middle of nowhere

[@jamlym4974]

I really feel like this came from his heart.

[@derrickallen1327]

Charlie Chaplin was way ahead of his time. This basic speech of simple human kindness toward one another is still relevant in the 21st. Century.
