Review - The Great Dictator

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2020)

For me, The Great Dictator wasn't that bad, but it was inappropriate in the circumstances.
First, We say this type of humor in all Chaplin movies, and the satire wasn't the adapted type of movie on the context. This movie fails where Life is Beautiful succeeded to depict the facts in a naive way without ignoring any of them.
Second, the ending of this movie is far to cliché. In fact, especially in this one, Chaplin didn't hide the moral of his movie, it is clearly represented in the movie. After his final speech, he received a standing ovation from the crowd. As well as ignoring all the pain and all the horrors lived in concentration camps, this movie is not only a satire of the leaders of the Axes, but of the German nation. Which I think is unacceptable.
To conclude, this movie was done before the end of the war, it was to early to comprehend to hard reality, and it should have been done after to respect the victims and the verity.
