The Great Dictator-Charlie Chaplin’s Prophetic and Timely Words
April 3, 2008 by polivox
“The Great Dictator” was directed by and starred the legendary Charlie Chaplin. Released in 1940, this commercially successful film, was also the actor’s first talkie.
This scene is Charlie’s magnificent and brilliant mind at work, delivering an emotional and compelling speech, calling for the end to fascism and tyranny.
His words are prophetic and ring true today. Pay attention to not only the words, but the emotion and intent in his words. There is a global message for us all, framed in this one motion picture scene, and all we need to do is pay attention.
