The Great Dictator - "Da Banana"

1940 Charlie Chaplin, Jack Oakie, Henry Daniell, Billy Gilbert

[@thewirah1]

Chaplin was a genius. There is nobody else like him in Hollywood right now. He made blockbusters about child poverty, homelessness, immigration, assembly line work, anti-union violence, fascism... and he did it with grace and poetry.

[@Neyreyan]

He forgot to do one about pedophilia

[@Gentleman_Viking]

Charlie Chaplin was a socialist. That's why he is relevant even today, because the same problems that capitalism caused in the 1920s are still happening today.

@@Daniel_leading_the_13_Plateans Charlie Chaplin was a socialist, that's what the fuck man. And the argument that capitalism is better than socialism because we have electronic devices is exactly as stupid as criticizing the inventor of the lightbulb for working by candlelight.

[@JSchaffer214]

@@williamstephens9945 Yeah, I think it may be lost on some people that this movie was made in 1940 which was the beginning of WWII. "The Great Dictator" was made with the purpose of making Hitler and Nazi Germany look like a joke. Chaplin was intent on stirring the pot with this movie.

Absolutely, this was greatly needed at a time when Hitler still had his fans even in the US, and the world was still downplaying his treatment of the Jews. Interesting fact, according to one of his associates, Hitler requested to see this film and watched it twice!

Irony given Charlie Chaplin regretted this movie the rest of his life and said so multiple times saying once the details of the Holocaust and rejection of emigration to the USA were revealed he felt this was wrong.

[@techpriest4787]

Failed? I have the feeling that compared to today what is considered so called art that Hitler may actually be more skilled than you think. I think Hitler's real and only problem was that he had a dark and violent mind. It already started in his childhood when he was apparently beaten too often so learned that violence is a solution to problems. So he went ahead and invented Warhammer 40K. I am afraid that he was too much of artist in the end. And not an engineer instead.

[@TheGalaxyWings]

Hitler himself wasn't the problem. If he never existed, someone else would've crystallised German reaction like he did.

[@ramraons3873]

Chaplin was not just a comedian. He was a director and story writer who could think far ahead of his time. That is why he could make films like the great dictator and modern times.

But in all men, in you! You the people have the power! The power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure! Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power; let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future, and old age the security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason! A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, LET US ALL UNITE!!!
