Have You Seen "The Great Dictator"? Charlie Chaplin's 1940 anti wa!


Question: What did you think of the movie? Is it a classic anti-war film. Why is it so unavailable? Surely there would be an audience for the film if some cable network dared to program an unseen masterpiece"talkie" from the biggest star of Hollywood's silent era. Chaplin did not stop making films when "talkies" came out. He did some darn fine work. This film was his (wrier, director, producer and star)!!!

An easy 10 points is also available for a (long) quote from this movie. So far no one has coment under "quotes" category, about the speech to Hanna. Check out the quote at...

Well, it's readily available on Amazon (see source below) in a 2-disc special edition. Now, it may not be available to rent in a video store (like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video) but that's because they generally suck at carrying rarities.

As for the movie, yes, it is decidedly anti-war, and was certainly one of the better satires ever made.

As for quotes (you already linked to the longest one):
"Garbitsch: "Corona veniat electus." Victory shall come to the worthy. Today, democracy, liberty, and equality are words to fool the people. No nation can progress with such ideas. They stand in the way of action. Therefore, we frankly abolish them. In the future, each man will serve the interest of the State with absolute obedience. Let him who refuses beware! The rights of citizenship will be taken away from all Jews and other non-Aryans. They are inferior and therefore enemies of the state. It is the duty of all true Aryans to hate and despise them. Henceforth this nation is annexed to the Tomanian Empire, and the people of this nation will obey the laws bestowed upon us by our great leader, the Dictator of Tomania, the conqueror of Osterlich, the future Emperor of the World!
Commander Shutz: You speak.
A Jewish Barber: I can't.
Commander Shutz: You must. It's our only hope."
"Don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!" Right movie, or no?

Edit: Not a long quote, but a wise one.
