Why watch this film?
One of Charlie Chaplin's greatest (and most famous) films, a critique of Nazism and Fascism released in 1940 - a time when the US had not yet entered into the conflict and the horror of the Holocaust was reaching the rest of the world through conflicting information. Fearless, Chaplin uses humor to criticize the leaders of that regime and also to teach us a lesson: that we are all equal, no matter if we are white, black, Jewish, dictators or barbers. The feature gives us memorable scenes (such as Hynkel playing with the globe, which became the opening of the Brazilian novel "O Dono do Mundo") and a passionate final speech, with a lesson of unity and democracy that still sounds (frighteningly) current.
