Movie review on The Great Dictator.


 "The Great Dictator"


         I have always noticed that artists have raised voice against social, political and different types of issues and Charlie Chaplin is one of them."The Great Dictator" was made in 1940.  It is a parody of Hitler and Nazi Germany was released before the United States entered the war. This is a Charlie Chaplin's first movie with sound and dialogues.


Charlie and Hitler
          Charlie Chaplin is known as "polymath". He was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer. He rose to fame in the era of silent film.
          Both had many similarities in birth date and month, physical appearance, popularity. Both were different in nature. Hitler is known as a cruel ruler and Chaplin known as a great comedian.
          Charlie Chaplin played a double role in the movie. He was a soldier and then the role played as a Dictator.

Comedy
          It is very hard to make a laugh audience and especially when you are talking about political issues and about dictatorship and here Charlie done a good job. In movie during the Oakie scenes that we get many of the film's most famous comedy moments.


Politics, dictatorship, and issues…
          "The Great Dictator" movie focused on the situation of the second world war and at that time Hitler was a ruler in Germany. He was on the highest position. In the film, we can see how politics and power both played a vital role in the war and it is also the best example of political satire, how political leaders behave in front of the public. Social problems and conditions of Jewish people and different issues we can see in this movie.

"The Great Dictator" is a comic political satire.
