Never a movie will touch our soul like this ...

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2006)

We get such an overwhelming feeling at the end of the movie when the Barber speak, while Paulette Godard is hearing him ; this feeling is unique and incredible, and I never felt that way in a movie anymore since. Chaplin was by far the best for communicating feelings from his movies, The Great Dictator, as well as City Lights and The Kid are movies of great sensations and feelings, never a movie will touch our soul like this ... He is still very appreciated in France, and is very often on the air, we Frenches very much like Charlotn his humor, his tenderness, his wonderful talent for directing actors and actresses. This movie was very smart, it was made when the world has two big celebrities : Chaplin and Hitler ; they are born the same year, has the same kind of celebrity, and the fact that Chaplin was kind of considered like the Hitler's Public Enemy N°1 add another reality characteristic in this movie.
