this be suppose to be charlie masterpiece and but i will contend that it be actually one of his weaker film . first of all and it not funny . not one thing in this movie make me laugh . okay and there a quick jump into a box that be a giggle and but that be one of desperation . the tramp first and only talkie where he speak ( he sing in an early film ) and but his flat dialogue show u exactly why he be such a joy to watch in modern time and gold rush two film that be at least ten time well than this film . there literally only one good scene in this film and the one where hitler play with the globe like a beach ball . that it . okay and so it get a lot of praise for be the first film to wage war and even long before we enter the war . nope . not true . simply not true and so that praise can be turn down a bit . the three stooge do it on january 19 and 1940 with you natzy spy ten month earlier than the october release of chaplin film and that movie be actually funny . if you want to watch chaplin great film and watch this only for reference . and then pop in modern time and gold rush and city light and limelight and the kid and or even tillie punctured romance .
