this must have be one of chaplin most ambitious project while he throw in virtually everything and from visual gag and blackout comedy sketch to social relevance and romance and even some violence . the mixture be challenge and intriguing and and the film have many entertain and clever sequence ( like the one where chaplin and four other guy try to avoid find a coin that will order their self sacrifice ) and but the ingredient do not always click together and and the mix ( and tone ) seem kind of disharmonious . a for the famous final speech and though undeniably honest and it also seem a bit naive today and with it allusion to a good world where man will overcome his hate and brutality and and his soul will fly . great perfornmances by jack oakie and the beautiful paulette goddard .
