Great movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"The Great Dictator" (1940) is only 3rd movie with / by Charles Chaplin that i saw. After watching "City Lights" (1931)and "Modern Times" (1936) i can safely say that "The Great Dictator" is best of this trio.
Charles Chaplin is brilliant in double role here, and he shines in both of them, while two of these characters are biggest opposites possible. Direction of this movie (also by Charles Chaplin) is great, and writing is brilliant (Charles Chaplin). I was involved in this movie from the first scene till closing one, and WHAT a speech at the end! I think this speech was more for the people watching this movie (and breaking a 4th wall at the same) - it is a triumph.
Overall, "The Great Dictator" is a great movie by all accounts. It is involving, very funny, tells a story and sends universal and essential message. What else do you want from motion picture?
