Good

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2008)

This is the firs movie made by Chaplin that i watched knowing what kind of person Charlie Chaplin was. At least knowing that he was a comedian. Before, I had only watched "Chaplin" with Richard Dawney Jr., which gave me a good perspective of what I could have expected in here. I got what I wanted. Funny moves, interesting speeches and moving story. The dictator might not be so great, but Chaplin is. The way people acted in this movie - always watching not into the camera, but somewhere above, like farther into the audience - strange, but realistic, too. Moreover, I really enjoyed hat Hungarian song played when Chaplin was a barber, cutting bears. Or the situation when he wanted to cut beard from a girl which does not have beards. Problem of treating freedom as a right and Jews as just another people made this movie interesting. The last speech - weirdly funny.
