the great dictator









































the great dictator is a 1940 american political satire comedy-drama film written, directed, produced, scored by, and starring british comedian charlie chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films. having been the only hollywood filmmaker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, this was chaplin's first true sound film.

annette insdorf, in her book "indelible shadows: film and the holocaust" (2003), writes that "there was something curiously appropriate about the little tramp impersonating the dictator, for by 1939 hitler and chaplin were perhaps the two most famous men in the world. the tyrant and the tramp reverse roles in "the great dictator", permitting the eternal outsider to address the masses". in "the 50 greatest jewish movies" (1998), kathryn bernheimer writes, "what he chose to say in "the great dictator", however, was just what one might expect from the little tramp. film scholars have often noted that the little tramp resembles a jewish stock figure, the ostracized outcast, an outsider."
