EVEN IF YOU DONT LIKE OLD MOVIES SEE THE LAST 8 MINUTES

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2019)

I'll explain why you need to see the end at the end but, first a little about the rest of the movie:
A rarefied accomplishment, the pinnacle of the film-makers' art, a perfect movie. All of lifes' emotions all of what makes us uniquely human is touched upon throughout this film.
Chaplin fights the Nazi ideologies of supremacy, racism and the dehumanization of the induvidual as a tool of the state with his own most powerful weapon, satire. I mentioned earlier the range of human emotions this film touches upon but, the lion's share you'll feel is joy, this above all is quite a funny movie.
I could go on telling you more about "The Great Dictator" the acting, direction, sets, costumes ect (all tip-top btw) but, I just want to talk about the films' last 8 minutes. The title of my review asks you to (atleast) just watch the last 8 minutes, even if you don't like old movies (this is for you kids:-). I'm not going to review or comment about what you're going to see in the last 8 minutes of this film other than to say; First you'll hear from the Nazi and then Chaplin. Chaplin's soliloquy will move even the hardest....
You know what, just watch the last 8 minutes. Personally I've never and probably will never hear a better speech about what it is to be truly human, it's truly timeless and a thing of eternal beauty
