be quite a fan of charlie chaplin follow good vibe after see first the gold rush and then city light and i be eager to see the great dictator a i have be tell this be and arguably and his best film . i be also intrigue at the fact it be a talkie while my first one and chaplin wise . the start be typical chaplin and blatant proof that when it come to sound and chaplain can cut it whilst not solely rely on music to set mood and to do the talk while it funny and well time and the element of slapstick such a fall off an anti aircraft gun be well tie in with the joke . it be good to draw the viewer in with this classic chaplin opening and at the same time and kick start the narrative of character get to know one another . what be also well do be the way in which hitler be spoof . any scene involve hitler or hynkel in this film and be funny and even now while make you think back a you know exactly who he spoof and do create an internal reaction of some kind . the way in which english in mixed in with the mock german during the dialogue scene be further proof of the way chaplin manage to adapt to the talkie era . my favourite joke be the five minute speech hynkel give and only for the english translator to translate it into a mere few word while make you think back to footage of hitler you may have see give a speech at some point in your life and and indeed and laugh at him . historically and the film get a few thing right as well . hynkel be see get his photograph take with child while something hitler do for recognition a he manipulate the medium but here and hynkel be see to yawn and act bore while stab at hitler underhand technique of win over the german public through sympathy ( oh and he hug and kiss child . he must be ok. ) . the film be also give a fantastic premise of a jewish civilian reinstall into the ghetto amongst all the travesty go on but with the catch that he be oblivious . film such a the pianist and come and see be two good example of nazi cruelty towards inferior people which nowadays and we can all look back on and shake our head at whereas back in the late 1930 when this be film and the fact he have the cruelty go on and be exploit it make it even more an astounding achievement . chaplin have manage to replace gun and truncheon for tomato and saucepan and still pull it off . what i do not like about the film and however and be the fact it settle into an actual narrative after the opening . this slow the film up and this be very noticeable a the foot be take off the gas somewhat . the film start to hint at story and sub story . these include the barber and the female neighbour fall in love and the suppose destruction of hynkel palace whereas none of these be actually develop . the give a woman a shave and the whoever have the coin in their pudding do the deed gag be hint at these plot path but in the end and just materialise into nothing but excuse for draw out and unfunny gag which be disappoint . during the final straight and the great dictator get a boost from the fact the italian dictator be introduce who add some much need life and excuse for comedy to the film . it work a treat a we see them argue and more underhand tactic be exploit when hynkel attempt to overpower his italian counterpart through a series of dirty trick ( although and they be humorously foil ) . despite a few weakness in pace during the middle segment and the fact i felt the message at the end be a little forced down my throat and the great dictator hold up for view today but that only because he take the gamble of exploit thing nobody else really know be there .
