Mindless movie lacking seriousness

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2018)

Watched too many mindless comedies this decade. Every time I watch a nonsense comedy(that opens to negative reviews) , I wonder why people make these films. Now I think I got the answer.
After watching this film , I realised that Charlie Chaplin was the one who started the culture of nonsense films . But what ever he made has been appreciated by the critics. I am sure if it was directed/acted by anyone else , it would have been forgetten by everyone.
Sets used at the war scene were poor.So was the character portrayal of both Characters of Charlie Chaplin .Every character he plays has to behave like an idiot, even the cruel general . He think being mentally ill and doing silly things is the only way laughter can be brought into a film. There are so many inane scenes like one in which he plays with the globe. There are funny scenes too (actually many ) but most of the others are stupid. The final speech by the Jewish barber is the only positive thing about the film .Otherwise, it's what we call a mediocre film.
