The Dr strangelove of WW2

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2002)

This movie is to WW2 what Dr strangelove is to the cold war. It's hilarious yet still sends a meaningful message to the audience. Chaplin's portrayal of Hitler is legendary. This movie shows what the audience was missing all these years, the treat of having a Chaplin talkie. This being his first talkie, it definitely lived up to, and exceeded its billing. Through all the comedy and wise cracks that the movie is filled with, the message at the end that Chaplin gives makes it all worth while and brings tears to your eyes. It makes me laugh that in his later years, people actually accused Chaplin of being a commie. Just hearing the ending message should squash any of those beliefs. Definite must see
