The great dictator

​Charlie chaplin was revolutioner, brave man full of beautiful personality. While wwll his
movies were inspiring people and awaiking spark of some hope in them. Without speaking,
without coloring, with humor and with the truth, he was delivering messages to people through
television. In the time of misery he was the only one associated with smile.
​‘’The great dictator’’ movie that was made after wwll, which was charlie chaplin’s first movie
where he actually speaks, was breathtaking, amazing work of art. the ending speech that
amazed me and still amazes me everytime is the most beautiful example of pathos. So many
separated families, friends and souls were fighting for their lives while dictators were sitting and
putting military signs on the map. Charlie chaplin puted all this pain hope and reality into this
speech and gave us something that will last many centuries.
‘’We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each
other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.’’
Once again after this world war, countries fighting for land and losing lives, this sentence gives
them idea about this world having enough space and goods for all of us. ‘’The hate of men will
pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And
so long as men die, liberty will never perish.’’no matter how strong any power is, power of
people will never lose.
‘’Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is
written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In
you! You, the people, have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create
happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this
life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all
unite.’’
Humanity, I think is the only thing that people should never stop trying to have. Everything
around us WE made it, good or bad, WE are the ones who are creating new generations, we
are the ones who are choosing what’s good for us, we are the ones creating medicines, we are
the ones curing each other, we are the ones hating, loving, caring, sharing, inventing, listening,
understanding and filling each other. If we ever realize how strong we are together, we can
completely destroy or build this world. We need to stop hating and using our eyes instead of our
hearts and minds, we need to see personality behind bodies. Let us unite and we’ll see how can
bullet proof we are.
This speech is the most inspiring thing i have ever seen and experienced, it keeps feeding
me with thoughts and hope that these people can change, not theirselves but the way they treat
one another.
