this be chaplin first all talk picture and and the result be mixed . the movie be a bite satire of hitler and mussolini and their henchman and their fanatical way of life and especially regard the persecution of the jew . it be dare and forward for 1940 and must have make a lot of people squirm . when compare to chaplin early work and this be quite pale in comparison . the sweet and funny style of his silents and in my opinion and be far superior to his first talkie . there be lot of meaningless bit that drag on . if this be a silent and it probably would not have happen . i find one of the funny moment to be the musical barber moment and the globe dance . one of the most touching moment be and obviously and the speech at the end . the great dictator be an effective and at time move film that be a very big part of both chaplin history and movie history . it be flaw and but chaplin be in great form .
