REVIEW OF GREAT DICTATOR
RUNTIME;2 hr. 6 min
Genre:drama,classic,comedy
Director;charles Chaplin
The great dictator is one of the greatest satires ever filmed and Chaplin's most fully realized comedy.A beautiful blend of the usual Chaplin slapstick and pathos along with a very effective social and political commentary. Charlie is Adenoid hynckle,dictator of an only slightly fictional country of Tomania.He also plays a jewish ghetto barber.. Dual roles have been played very effectively.His script never gets too preachy atleast without an equal dose of satire.Hisapproach is to make people laugh as well as gain some knowledge too.The final monologue is very much effective.After a predictable mistaken identity episode,Chaplin as ths unnamed Jewish barber speaks of yhe horrorw of the Nazism.This climazes what may be the greatest performances in the history of the comedy films.It does not only make us laugh but also make us think.the film earned Chaplin well deserved Oscar nominations fo Best Picture, Screenplay and Actor.On the whole this is a very determined movie which deals with satiric reasoning.it makes us to laugh as well as to think.
