The Great Dictator - "Da Banana"

[@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.

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.

...You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate, only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke, it is written, that the Kingdom of God is within Man; not one man, nor a group of men! 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!!!
