quite a nice movie, yet then again it's a propaganda movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 August 2014)

Even though at first Chaplin didn't aim this movie to be a propaganda movie, the best of the era's condition, The World War II, got the best of the production instead. This makes the story feels too much overstretched. The slapstick and silly comedic moments aimed to defame the then common enemy of the Allies, Adolf Hitler, feels too long and too much hyperbolic. I must say though that the comedies are being done nicely. They are funny and enjoyable. The parody covers all aspects that are important about the war. Those include the parody of the symbols used by the Axis, and the other charismatic characters other than Hitler. It's quite nice to see how Chaplin manages in a movie with dialog after so many he did in the silent era.
