- In this captivating video, we listen to Charlie Chaplin's iconic speech from his masterpiece film "The Great Dictator." I believe it's the most extraordinary of Chaplin's cinematic moments and hold much significance even in today's world. You are not machines, you are men!
Chaplin's impassioned monologue, delivered with unparalleled charisma and conviction, transcends time and resonates with audiences across generations. From its poignant call for unity and compassion to its powerful condemnation of tyranny and oppression, this speech stands as a timeless testament to the power of words and the resilience of the human spirit.

It is remarkable that Chaplin was best known and remembered for films with no speech-and for one magnificently crafted and delivered speech.
Its called Irony. Funny enough Chaplin fought very hard not to work with the new tech of the sound in that time. He was certain that it would not have worked with his characters performed for decades. True story Chaplin was investigated by the FBI and other agencies bcse of that speech. They couldn't find much on him but they find the way to banish him and never allowed him to ever come back in the United States..... but time changing he came back in 1972 to receive an Oscar for his life contribution to the movie art. The ovation and applause is still the longest for the Oscar... people cheer Chaplin for 12 min straight
Chaplin's delivery of this speech was outstanding. He mimicked the style of Hitler. He starts very soft and quiet so you have to almost lean forward to hear him, then gradually he builds into a creshendo of volume, power, and emotion. It grips the attention of the listener and evokes a strong emotional response. Almost as if he's hypnotizing you. Yet his message is the polar opposite of Hitler's, and still rings true in 2023.
All done in one take, without cue-cards - unrehearsed...from a man who was known as a "silent" film star. Hitler himself was obsessed with this film, and watched it several times...this was the ultimate middle finger and rally cry to the world. We need this again.
No intros, outros, or ads. Just straight to the point. I like that! 👍
Thank you. I've seen the videos with the musical background. The music is so loud, I can't understand the words of Charlie Chaplin. I have heard this speech many times but you are the first to break it down and analyze why this is a great speech. Thank you.
I THOUGHT THR SPEECH WAS SELF EXPLANATORY. THE GETTYSBURG!! GEE NOW THERE IS ANOTHER TOUGH ONE TO UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU.
This speech has stuck with me for many decades. Good choice, Joseph!
Thank you, for picking the original speech, and not the "best version". You hit the nail on the head with what you had to say about that.
disagree, the best version enhance the speech
@@mem5860 I think it's pure distractions.
@@Carl.Henriksson i didnt get distracted at all, make the words come more to life
You are on fire - thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤
The way he nods his head up to bring hope at the beginning yet he then nods down when talking about dark events is a classic masterpiece of body language.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!
I think that adding Hans Zimmers Time is the perfect edtion. Chaplin was reaching out through time, to the generations to come with this speech. It seems appropriate.
This lands perfectly with the Speech of thorfinn and his core ideology of no one had any enemies
This film was originally supposed to end as a comedy. Then France fell (1940) and he rewrote the speech.
It's intentionally similar to Hitler's speech pattern. Hitler would start a little soft, somewhat reasonable, pull you in, then pounce on you with a wave of emotion carrying you to a call for action.
Great breakdown
you are a clever man, I like you!
This reminds me of Kierkegaard and his "Age of the Crippled Men" idea - that the time would come when men would be physically fit but emotionally, spiritually crippled, unable to talk "dusha-dushay", as the Russians say ["soul to soul"], unable to connect, unable to feel anything. I feel reassured that Chaplin's speech still has resonance among people, even though what passes for political thinking has degenerated into cliched claptrap. As a follow-on, I would recommend the "day of the most contemptable man is coming" passage from "Thus spoke Zarathustra" - sadly, nobody these days reads Nietzsche, but if you can wade through all of the cretinous mis-readings of him, there are moments when he was frighteningly correct.
Excellent explanation.
You should air this uninterrupted first -- then comment. This speech works on an emotional level as well as a logical one. It needs to not only be heard but felt. You can point out your observations later, but you do the speech a disservice by not letting it hit on an emotional level.
am doing a marathon of your videos
i think the music and edit enhance the speech
The only time(hope I am correct) Chaplin spoke in a film. One of the most powerful speech. Thanks for your observation.
I think he did a few spoken flims after this one but not many more and don't think they where as big as this.
"Monsieur Verdoux" and, of course, "Limelight".
3:54 the breathing changes he starts going !
❤❤❤
You are just a fan boy. Alliteration is Luke's likes to learn he did not use the same parallelism as you think he did. Good luck with your channel.
WW2 was still going on at this time, no one knew how it would end. The only more moving speech I've ever heard in a film is Orson Welles' scene at Chartres in "F For Fake".
Is no one going to talk about the irony given his um wardrobe? 😂
The film is him taking the piss out of Hitler...🤔 do you not have access to Google or a library?
And iam proud to say that he was a Gypsy and we Gypsy dont like Mean people and war, and i Mean real Gypsy not like the people on American tv that say they are Gypsys for they are not Gypsys 🇸🇪
shit be clean.
=D
It's great when People lecture with good intentions...but unfortunately 99.9% of the Time they are hypocrites. Nobody is currently "Perfect" and everyone makes mistakes (NOT "Accidents") but that doesn't mean we can't metaphorically aim for "Perfection".
People who pause this soeech i leave
Love this speech, but I hate the do away with national borders part.. George Soros loves that shit.
maybe i overthink this , still at the end he gives me kind of also the Diktator vibes. well i gues it dos not mather witch side you lead as long as you can motivate peaple like this they will follow you. i think the bigest diferens betwen dictator and demokrasie( basicly) is the way they treat the law and how they exequtit
Do you spell like that on purpose?
@@samhain1894 no its just not my mothertung
Stop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names.
It truly pains me when you see things like this where I feel like people are missing the point or, better yet, not realizing the absolute similarity to this video and today's social media type of influences.
This man is reading a script...
Not only is ge reading a script, but the fact that people take what he is saying and relate it to religious or ethnic backgrounds is laughable because the speech is geared towards soldiers and the political system of doing what you believe to be the right thing when in fact you are a puppet...not that it doesn't relate to ethnic struggles but to put this as a message about humanity and that this person was more aware than even we are today is ridiculous... just due to the fact that if these words were, in fact, important to him and the platform he is speaking for... then why wasn't effort put towards fixing the problem?
fun thing about language is that it is received as much as it is delivered. The meaning is determined by the listener, not the speaker and certainly not by some gatekeeper in a youtube comment.
Take whatever meaning you want, but don't make your cynicism everyone else's problem. you think somebody missed the point? who cares. jog along and live your life.
@@daedalusi315 .... that... might be exactly the point
@@drewcles9254 sure it was.
@daedalusi315 might not be on the same page, then
@@daedalusi315 why is opening a dialog and expressing opinions a bad thing?
I haven't watch the video but I think it's ironic if not funny that Charlie Chaplin gave a speech about being true men but he doesn't have formed shoulders. You have to do a man's job even from time to time to develop shoulders particularly lifting groceries and other heavy tools in my opinion.
