A poignant Dark comedy

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2014)

This was a great dark comedy! This was the first Charlie Chaplin film that i have seen that was not a silent film! It had the same goofiness and deadpan humor that was in some of Chaplin's other films such as city lights except a lot of the humor had a darker tone to it. It wasn't extremely dark like some of todays comedies but it was still a bit dark. Fans of the film Doctor Strangelove should enjoy this film. This film is about a Jewish barber and a dictator (both played by Charlie Chaplin) this film also conveys the themes of hope, peace, and equality. as with all of Charlie Chaplin films this film has a very poignant tone to it. fans of Charlie Chaplin should definitely check this film out. Every gag exhibited in this film was funny and almost none of the gags fell flat. Bravo!
