In 1937 when Chaplin started to work on the script, many people still believed that Hitler did a lot of good things, a ruler with some flaws that time would iron. After viewing "Triump ..." Chaplin was one of the few who did understand.
When Hitler was holding a speach to his citizens, he was always shouting and speaking in a stacato way. Its very rarely there are recordings of him speaking in a normal way, and that is what Chaplin in a brilliant way jokes about. He mixes Schnitzel mit der Sauerkraut together with Blitz and Straffen and uses a lot of u'es.

This film was an attack on a political revolution that was trying to pull Germany out of the ruinous situation she found herself in the 1930's.

Yes. Chaplin is a genius. He need not speak in german or call himself Hitler. Only needed to sound like German, and fake his mannerisms, and conveytge absolute power of dictators , and the absurd madness of dictatorships. And by not speaking in real German, while including words such as of food items or silly items, and interspersing with real English words, he could make audiences universally understand what he intended, to mock Hitler on his face.
Charlie Chaplin absolutely nailed the impersonation of Adolf Hitler right down to the finest point. The mannerisms and the powerful dynamic of his voice, it's all done so well! I loved hearing "Herring" and "Garbage", and he was even able to sneak the word "sauerkraut" into the speech. What a genius. Charlie did have some serious guts, though, to make fun of the Nazi regime. But even in the toughest days, we need some comedy relief. Bravo, Sir Chaplin! 😁😁

Hallo zusammen, als junger Marokkaner 🇲🇦, der sich für allgemeine Kultur interessiert, teile ich mit Ihnen einige Zusammenfassungen und Ideen als allgemeine Kultur über den berühmten Komiker Charlie Chaplin, der sich durch seine Stummkomödie auszeichnete, frei von Künstlichkeit und nah an der Herz. Seine Gesichtszüge waren immer traurig und er konnte die Welt zum Lachen bringen. Die Menschen in einer Zeit kannten Kriege, Klassenungleichheit, Armut und die Probleme des 20. Jahrhunderts, und Charlie hatte Sprüche und rührende Worte, darunter (wenn Sie... konnte nicht über den gleichen Witz lachen, warum solltest du wegen der gleichen Sorge zurückgehen und trauern und weinen) und auch (ich gehe im Regen, damit niemand meine Tränen sehen kann) und unter den Menschen erkannte er Einstein mit ihrem Witz , sind Charlie Chaplin und Nikola Tesla, und ich möchte abschließend sagen, dass Charlie in den vergangenen Jahren als sehr professioneller Komiker die Welt unterhalten hat
What a courageous man for making this in 1940.This film is a materpiece.This film is an act of madness.And madness Is love.Chaplin put his Life in extreme danger making this.He 's a hero without a doubt.♥️
5:03 the best and most meaningful part. The "interpreter" didn't "translate" it, also the audience was too scared of that ethnic group and for the first time during the speech they didn't applaud until "Hitler" ordered them.
Mostly however German names for food/dishes: Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerkraut. Bismarck Hering is pickled herring. Field Marshal Herring as a parody of Hermann Göring points to a native German adviser. Allegedly a hawker known as Beldemer Lippert advertised his herrings on a market in Kastellaun as "Hering, Hering, su fett wie de Göring!" herrings, herrings, as fat as Göring! And this mocking verse spread fast among those not that enthusiastic about the ones now in power.
Hitler had a Mafia-style death list of comics who dared make fun of him. Chaplin, Jack Benny, the Three Stooges, Spike Jones and Victor Borga were all on that list!
Hitler had outlawed foreign films that might be construed as propaganda and this was certainly one of them, but he had a copy smuggled in and watched it in private. He never voiced his opinion on it but it is known that he watched it twice. Chaplin, late in life, said, "I'd give anything to know what he thought of it."
Charles Spencer Chaplin, the comedian, was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Four days later another 'comedian' was born: Adolf Hitler on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn. In this parody C.C is confronted with his 'shadow' A.H. "The Great Dictator" named "Adenoid Hynkel"*. (*the etymology of this name discribes this 'evilness' which was expanding over the world like another virus does today)
It's supposed to be gibberish it's not supposed to be understood in any language except for the world language of its gibberish he's making fun of Hitler and the rest of the party period anybody that would have followed Hitler back then was a complete freaking idiot. Anybody that wants to hate that much a whole nother race of people is a total idiot we all are people of this world
As a kid growing up, the mic moving scenes brought me so much joy that I still remember it to this day. So happy I was introduced to the classics of Charlie Chaplin when I was younger.

You can still always tell what's he's talking about. 25% of the words are English.

@@numalesoybea1348 True. And with English being a Germanic language, you can thankfully end up with some of those being actual German words, even if the rest of the sentence its in is nonsense.
Yes. Chaplin is a genius. He need not speak in german or call himself Hitler. Only needed to sound like German, and fake his mannerisms, and conveytge absolute power of dictators , and the absurd madness of dictatorships. And by not speaking in real German, while including words such as of food items or silly items, and interspersing with real English words, he could make audiences universally understand what he intended, to mock Hitler on his face.
2:00 I love that he pours water into his pants after the talk
Why tho 😂
It’s six days until the 2024 election and for some reason I’ve been watching clips from The Great Dictator repeatedly. Don’t know why.
RUclips knew
Because you wanted to see what could happen if Kamala won?
I can see why this man was the world's best actor.

Woy Mana yeah
The first time I watched this I laughed so hard I cried through most of it. I'm buying it! What a classic! Adenoid?
Charlie Chaplin absolutely nailed the impersonation of Adolf Hitler right down to the finest point. The mannerisms and the powerful dynamic of his voice, it's all done so well! I loved hearing "Herring" and "Garbage", and he was even able to sneak the word "sauerkraut" into the speech. What a genius. Charlie did have some serious guts, though, to make fun of the Nazi regime. But even in the toughest days, we need some comedy relief. Bravo, Sir Chaplin! 😁😁
I laughed at liberty stunk ,,democracy stunk,,😂😂😂😂😂
Don´t forget the words at the start of his speech : " Hürtensekt an´Wiener Schnitzel " !!! 😂😂😂🤣
4:50 (and 4:56 too) The freakkin' microphone. I'm dying of laughter. My 10 years old kid has just been shown the movie at school, and that part was an instant hit. He told me the entire classroom laughed. Proof that this movie will never grows old.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
This impersonation is brilliant and Charlie Chaplin will always have a given place in my heart and in our history books! 🙏❤
Hallo zusammen, als junger Marokkaner 🇲🇦, der sich für allgemeine Kultur interessiert, teile ich mit Ihnen einige Zusammenfassungen und Ideen als allgemeine Kultur über den berühmten Komiker Charlie Chaplin, der sich durch seine Stummkomödie auszeichnete, frei von Künstlichkeit und nah an der Herz. Seine Gesichtszüge waren immer traurig und er konnte die Welt zum Lachen bringen. Die Menschen in einer Zeit kannten Kriege, Klassenungleichheit, Armut und die Probleme des 20. Jahrhunderts, und Charlie hatte Sprüche und rührende Worte, darunter (wenn Sie... konnte nicht über den gleichen Witz lachen, warum solltest du wegen der gleichen Sorge zurückgehen und trauern und weinen) und auch (ich gehe im Regen, damit niemand meine Tränen sehen kann) und unter den Menschen erkannte er Einstein mit ihrem Witz , sind Charlie Chaplin und Nikola Tesla, und ich möchte abschließend sagen, dass Charlie in den vergangenen Jahren als sehr professioneller Komiker die Welt unterhalten hat
1:46 my favorite moment of his speech
6:56
What a courageous man for making this in 1940.This film is a materpiece.This film is an act of madness.And madness Is love.Chaplin put his Life in extreme danger making this.He 's a hero without a doubt.♥️
He was in no danger. He was in America.
The film is really funny, tho, and that’s the point.
Chaplin's masterpiece of comedy. my fave scene is the shaving in perfect time to Brahm's fifth Hungarian dance. Sheer brilliance!
5:03 the best and most meaningful part. The "interpreter" didn't "translate" it, also the audience was too scared of that ethnic group and for the first time during the speech they didn't applaud until "Hitler" ordered them.
I like that among the gibberish, Chaplin actually placed some German words that fit the context, as in "sie strafen", "Bismarck", "freisprechen"
Mostly however German names for food/dishes: Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerkraut. Bismarck Hering is pickled herring.
Field Marshal Herring as a parody of Hermann Göring points to a native German adviser.
Allegedly a hawker known as Beldemer Lippert advertised his herrings on a market in Kastellaun as
"Hering, Hering, su fett wie de Göring!"
herrings, herrings, as fat as Göring!
And this mocking verse spread fast among those not that enthusiastic about the ones now in power.
@@martinstock That's right and it was dangerous to make such jokes.
Hitler had a Mafia-style death list of comics who dared make fun of him. Chaplin, Jack Benny, the Three Stooges, Spike Jones and Victor Borga were all on that list!
Both Hitler and J.Edgar Hoover
Hitler had outlawed foreign films that might be construed as propaganda and this was certainly one of them, but he had a copy smuggled in and watched it in private. He never voiced his opinion on it but it is known that he watched it twice. Chaplin, late in life, said, "I'd give anything to know what he thought of it."
Even in his gibberish, Charlie Chaplin was more articulate than president who claims have the best words.
come on now...if you want to hear jibberish just look at biden the demented fool of the demorats
have you ever seen a clip of biden trying to give a speech
I have seen this clip many times it never gets old. Your comments made it more enjoyable.
Someone try Rahul Gandhi and his understandable gibberish
@@loafgeneral Pres. Biden has a speech impediment. What was the Orange Monkey's excuse?
I started crying of laughter watching this movie for the first time, specially the gibberish speech 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 such nonsense but so damn funny
5:37 As a Finn, I am totally astonished, that my country is mentioned in a Chaplin movie!
Genius! The cough mixing up with the German is amazing!!! Haha
Charles Spencer Chaplin, the comedian, was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Four days later another 'comedian' was born: Adolf Hitler on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn.
In this parody C.C is confronted with his 'shadow' A.H. "The Great Dictator" named "Adenoid Hynkel"*.
(*the etymology of this name discribes this 'evilness' which was expanding over the world like another virus does today)
Jean-Luc Gasser 👌all different forms and shapes
To be honest; Hitler's Hynkel impression sucked.
Branau am Inn is Austria, I
My son: I was born at 7 April 2009
I was born at April 16 2004 , my brother was born at april 20 2005 and my younger brother was born at april 30 2006 . MY favourite game is Mein Kraft
Hering and Garbage
XD
That made my day
So modern at his time ! He saw so much, with so much drama and comic! Outstanding Charles Chaplin ! Merci merci beaucoup from Paris France. Emmanuel
It's a small and obvious thing, but the film calls The Barber "A Veteran of the World War". No number yet.
I am German and I understand the exact amounts of words I understand when we do maths I'm school
I'm German and don't understand a single word 😂
Same lol
@@wladimirpauls3018 ohh i thought he was speaking really german. Lol
It's supposed to be gibberish it's not supposed to be understood in any language except for the world language of its gibberish he's making fun of Hitler and the rest of the party period anybody that would have followed Hitler back then was a complete freaking idiot. Anybody that wants to hate that much a whole nother race of people is a total idiot we all are people of this world
He didn't try to speak german but reproduced Hitler expression in his speeches. Evebody understand, not the words but his emotion. Universal
Its not German
Its Tomania language
I need to see this movie again. I'd forgotten he was referred to as The Phooey.
This movie is the best source to learn German with his Excellency Adenoid Hynkel.
As a kid growing up, the mic moving scenes brought me so much joy that I still remember it to this day.
So happy I was introduced to the classics of Charlie Chaplin when I was younger.
Greatest war movie ever made, well one of them, definitely one of the best monologues in film history.
Ein traurig lustiger Film !
Es einfach Chaplins Meisterwerk...👌
I know this before my classmates. My teacher made a presentation and all of my classmates think that this is the real Hitler. I laughed until this day when i see this.
I bet they said “Yeesh, no wonder he lost the war 🙄”
were you in a "special" class?
@@tmpqtyutmpqty4733 A school friend doesn't know Hitler, nor USSR, nor Nazism (I don't remember if she knew the swastika or not). She was not even sure of the quantity of World Wars (though this latter thing may be a joke... I hope...).
What a genius. I wouldve paid money to watch it back in the day
bro absolutely this guy's still cracks me up
He actually got Hitlers mannerisms down pretty well
Herr Garbage made me laugh for a solid 5 mins
That microphone scene is just....hilarious :DD
This shows how important delivery is. Despite being gobbledygook that final minute or so of his speech is inspiring 😂
3:50 I think Chaplin’s cough is genuine enough. This “speech” must really have tested his vocal chords.
WAR IS SCHTONK !
DEMOKRATIE SCHTONK!
It is really hilarious that he said countless times SCHTONK but then the translation came out with a different meaning each time we said it 😂😂
Not realized this could be the first stonks meme ever made, beside ww2 meme too.
Stonks📈
@@shiprapaul2033 *stonks*
GENIUS Charles Chaplin
The greatest Genius of movie comedy. Unmatched to this day !
He was mocking hitler when hitler was hitler. Huge balls.
This guy can make people laugh in 1000 years after his death
It's a mockumentary of presiderk Boe Jiden and bice presiderk Her Garbarge .. Chaplin was ahead of his time!
