One of the most successful political films of all time!

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2001)

Chaplin's funny, yet political film, in one of the most dangerous times in American to be both funny and political. The ending alone is more powerful than any image throughout the film. Chaplin makes clear to the audience that the common man's view is more innocent and poetic than any speech a dictator could make. While people want to remember Chaplin for such films like Gold Rush and Modern Times, the Great Dictator has to be is biggest and best films with a moral and decent message for its viewers.
