  The Great Dictator 1940

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  More genius now than ever. And more tragic. 

  Chaplin desperately pleads with the world of his time (but is really calling from the past to the future) to be decent and dignified, so it’s brutal realizing we’re on the edge, if not already plummeting beyond it. 

  Frenzied anticipation for Chaplin’s first talkie, The Tramp is going to speak! What’s he going to say?!

  He looks the world in the eyes and says: fragile men shatter the world.
