Movie Review
The Great Dictator - 1940
The great dictator directed by Charlie Chaplin after dedicated service in the great war, a Jewish barber (Charlie Chaplin) spends years in army hospital recovering from his wounds and unaware of the simultaneously rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkle, he is also Chaplin and his anti Semitic policies. When the barbers who is resembles to Hynkle, returns to his quiet neighborhood. He is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl ( Paulette Goddard) and her neighbours in rebelling.
In acting part, Chaplin plays two very different characters, both distinct performances. I mean he is great well rounded artist. He fought for his independence in his craft, so we really see the artist control over this project. With i love and it is very interesting thar with the development of technolog, growing audiences, the explosion of intense marketing how production of marketing how production companies really take over the artistic control.
And Chaplin's film among a few other artists are really almost raw production that comes directly from the artist. Chaplin is not knew to the entertainment industry. As a young child he always performed with his parents, frnds and eventually got hired for various gigs here & there.
Charlie Chaplin directed and starred in his first talking picture, The Great Dictator (1940), almost five years after the release of his last silent film, Modern Times (1934).
My favorite scene that cracked me up is hitler leaving in car. The tracking shot is just brilliant, the attention to detail, creatively and comically it destroyed me with laughter. From a plot perspective, Chaplin drives the story forward in a very clever way by allowing the audience to understand what Hynkle stands for, and so he translates the speech. He always finds this super creative and inventing ways for comic relief.
The Modern Time
This movie is Charlie Chaplin's best silent film. This movie symbolized and addresses lots of social issues in the modern times. Beginning in the movie Chaplin used great symbols and metaphor, we see ship there are in hurdle and compares the human. This symbols represents the people with very much just like being hurdle as well as shipple. Modern Times, was the impact of the depression and the dehumanizing nature of industry.
Political statement reflecting Chaplin's radical views. This notion has in which Charlie picks up the red flag and finds himself at the head of workers demonstration.
Chaplin clearly resented the way mechanised society had turned individuals into drones. And he was also prepared to accept that labour was a means to an end, hence Charlie's scramble to secure a job at the reopened factory.
Next talk about Charlie Chaplin's acting was a range of exaggeration. No words and no colour, simply with his movement and facial expressions. Silent features is the best and very hard to express to the audiences. There are themes like as man vs machine and money vs the world. The astonishing film classic modern time is, like so many of Charlie Chaplin's films a comedy with a strong sense of social comment.
