Movie review of "The Great Dictator By Charlie Chaplin"

        This movie based on world war, it was the time when the second world war was about to starts. That time Hitler was at the top position in Germany. Charlie Chaplin has taken many sequence as a kind of parody from the  "Triumph of the wheel" in his film "The Great Dictator". "Triumph of the Wheel" is the Natzi Prapaganda movie .
Charlie Chaplin and Hitler-
Both have Same year and month of birth- April 1889, same physical appearance, same popularity. The character generated comedy.

Double role: opposite in nature :~

Charlie Chaplin Played double role in this movie.
The one is Hynkle the Dictator and the second one is Jewish Barber in the Ghetto. Both the characters are totally opposite in nature.

Reflection of Modern Age in the film :~

*Surreal effect :~

Means real but in a awkward way. In the movie when the plane of captain Schultz was flying along with the Barber and the captain himself then suddenly it turned down but still Both Jewish Barber and Captain remain in the sitting position without any effect this seems real but was only produced the surreal effect.

*Technology :~

In  the movie  there is huge machines used in wars to throw out Bombs, Bullets etc. This shows the huge development of machines in the modern era. Even their is scene of Radio also which cast the show Happy hours, but symbolically it indicates the sad hours.

*Pacifistic view :~

In the movie the character of the Jewish Barber shows the pacifistic view towards war. he never wants any kind of war. Even when he misunderstood as the dictator Hynkle and supposed to give speech on the victory over the Osterlich.

*Esoteric :~

Esoteric is the key term in the modern age. It means only few learner can understood, not understood by all.
We find the esoteric view when The Dictator hynkle giving the speech. He speaks Gibberish language which was not understood by all the peoples. But still peoples behave like that they understood each and every thing.

*Children and the leaders :~

       There was always a connection between the political leaders and the Children. In the film also we can find that after the victory how childrens are welcoming the dictator Hynkle and Hynkel also shows his great affection towards the children.


Conclusion :~

           In this way the movie  presents the condition of the modern age. And how the countrymen are suffering with the hazard of the war. How the spoiled leader controlling the weaker community and misusing their power. This film remains the great representative of the times and the last speech by the Jewish Barber remains the worthy speech till the present time.
