Classic. Quite possibly the best comedy ever put to film.

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2015)

This movie is a testament to the genius of Chaplin. Its sharp witty dialogue, its clever use of slapstick, its believable characters and its brilliant message have managed to stand for decades. The fact this movie continues to shine even to this day proves its worth. The great dictator is not just held up by its comedy though, it is also held up by the fantastic performances by all of the actors involved. Chaplin knew what he wanted and it translated perfectly on the screen. The great dictator isn't as widely remembered as some of Chaplin's other works, but it deserves to be. While other movies of its era, such as citizen Kane, also remain master-pieces in their own rights. None effect the audience quite like the great dictator.
