Laughs great, Chaplin's speech better

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2005)

Not sure if this would be considered a spoiler, so I'm playing it safe. From the dance with the Balloon globe, till his speech at the end, this movie was a great credit to Chaplin's genius, and it was embarrassing that America would later shun this man. What make the most memorable impression on the viewer is the speech he makes at the end. It his haunting, as the words are perfect for the fearful, yet angered look on his face. The end speech seems to come from the heart, as merely being words on a page. The speech should be printed up, and sent to every world leader, or they should all be forced to watch this film. A movie that was years ahead of it's time. Chaplin's speech is right on target, and yet haunting, as much as it must of been then, as it is now.
