Hitler Film Analysis
1. Hitler Film Analysis
The hilarious part is a commanding component in this film.As,the performer Chaplin reproached
Nazism with a light touch.
For instance, the discourse toward the start of the film, where Hynkel is the portrayal of Hitler,
significantly against semitic, he delievers various put–down to the Jews, which are deciphered just
by: " Our Brilliance has quite recently said a few words on the Jews."
Additionally, Hitler despised kids. We see this when Hynkel dries his hands precisely in the wake of
having touched one. Charles Chaplin has put in his film various references to the acts of the Nazis.
We discover inhumane imprisonments, Gestapo, the attack of Austria or specialist exasperated by
Hitler.
For sure this film is a cartoon of the truth of the 1940s, amid the Second World War. Tomania is a
portrayal of Germany; Adénoïde Hynkel is Adolf Hitler's exaggeration; Benzino Napoloni that of
Benito Mussolini.
The flag of the Nazi party in the film contains two crosses, while in the truth, this one conveys just a
swastika. The hynkel's suit looks unequivocally like the Hitlerian customary outfit did. The physical
appearance additionally focuses on the similarity: Hitler's trademark mustache, hairdo, darker eyes
and dull eyebrows. The pantomimes as the impersonation of the Hitlerian salute, the method for
conveying everything that needs to be conveyed, vicious and jerky and the unrivaled mentality
towards every single other man portrayed Hitler in his lifetime.

3. The Great Dictator
As soon as The Great Dictator, directed by Charlie Chaplin in 1940, begins the audience is
immediately brought back into World War I and then the following decades of international conflict
and turmoil (Dir Chaplin 1940). However, the entire film is filled with twists and metaphors, as the
film serves as a satire of Hitler's regime. Chaplin even resembles Hitler, which not only provides the
double–casting of the film but enables the message of the film, echoed in the concluding speech, to
resonate with the audience even further. While I am sure viewers at the time perceived this film in
an extremely different light, as the horrors of the Holocaust were not yet known, to me this film in a
way served as a historical recap filled with parody and mockery. ... Show more content on

From the perspective of someone who knows about this history, these names are effectively funny
and Chaplin's perceptions of these characters definitely should not go over anyone's heads. Even the
Tomanian, or German–gibberish, language adds a layer into the film, creating a more authentic film
for American viewers. However, the ending breaks away from what happened in history, enabling
viewers to see the faults occurring at this time and even anticipate what is yet to come. In that sense,
I found the film relatively predictable until the end because of course we all know what really
happened in Europe at that time. This authenticity during a majority of the film was necessary in
order for viewers understand the harsh realities and persecution going on in Europe, especially from

5. Similarities Between Cheorge Orwell And Animal Farm
Charlie Chaplin & George Orwell versus Totalitarianism
So far of what is known, there are 2 stories that was addressed and talks about different social values
in society, whether it was through history or today. Orwell's Animal Farm talks about the process,
aftermath, and danger of totalitarianism in the Russian Revolution using allegories of farm animals.
Pericles takes praise of his Athenian society while contrasting it with other societies in a funeral
oration. There is another literature work that majority of people would find brilliant and somewhat
relates to one of the learned works about social values in society. A speech made by the famous
Charlie Chaplin, called "The Final Speech" from the classic 1940s film, "The Great Dictator,"
includes many points that are associated with dictatorship and the free will of people. Chaplin's
speech and Orwell's Animal Farm have quite similar in terms of technique usage and purposes to the
audience. One of the many points "The Final Speech" and "Animal Farm" have in common is that it
addresses the harm or the danger of totalitarianism applied to a society. ... Show more content on

The Great Dictator also discusses totalitarianism but in the form of encouraging people oppressed by
dictators to go against them and to be free, as noted in the line, "Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to
brutes ... Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men – machine men with machine minds and
machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!" (Paragraph 5, Great
Dictator) They both prove that totalitarianism is never the best government as they enslave the
people, bringing them misery and suffering, and corrupt the government with power. They also
encourage the oppressed people to revolve against totalitarianism and to be free as it was always
intended to be. Both the Final Speech and Animal Farm are similar as they share positive points

The Great Dictator– Chaplin Speech Analysis In the 1940's film The Great Dictator by Charlie
Chaplin, Chaplin plays the role of a Jewish Barber set in a time similar to that of World War II. The
jewish barber shares a striking resemblance to that of the great dictator Hynkel. In the third act of
the film Hynkel is captured by mistake from his own soldiers and they mistaken the jewish barber as
their great dictator. With this new great power bestowed upon the jewish barber he uses this chance
to cry out to the people of the newly invaded country that Hynkel had sieged. In this short speech
Charlie Chaplin delivers it with a style similar to that of Hitler. Chaplin at this point uses pure
emotions to fuel his speech while he brings strategies such as hyperboles and metaphors to convince
the audience to stand up for what 's right and to bring humanity back to what we as humans once
were. The biggest factor about Charlie Chaplin 's speech that really draws people in is its emotional
factor. As the great dictator in the film is based off of Adolf Hitler, the format in which Chaplin
gives the speech mirrors Hitler 's style. Like most of Hitler 's speeches, The Jewish Barber starts off
subtle with a soft and gentle voice saying "We want to help one another, human beings are like
that..." The first three paragraphs are given very softly with a touch of sorrow and remorse. Chaplin

Bullies Vs. Dictators
Bullies and dictators are known as the supreme leaders of their territory, but there is quite a
distinction in what defines a bully and what defines a dictator. A bully is someone who uses their
power to intimidate and harm those who are weaker. On the other hand, a dictator is someone who
gets power by force and that rules a whole country. Both of these live by tormenting the lives of
others, but they have different ways of doing so. They both abide over the Darwinist thought of
survival of the fittest. Bullies, especially at schools, have common things that resemble the life of a
dictator. Although bullies and dictators are both distinctly defined, they both are quite similar by
how they both rule over the weak, abuse their power, and have a comparable personality.
First, bullies rule people who are weak and afraid of them. Bullies like to feel superior and with full
control over their victims. A bully will control anyone who seems helpless to defend themselves. For

Dictators are manipulative and give false promises to the people in their country. They blame others
for their mistakes and control them into doing as they please. They believe that their will and their

power they gain, the more powerful they feel. Dictators are selfish and care more about themselves
than for their people.They do not seek help and believe that nothing is wrong with them. They
believe they are entitled to unlimited praise and deference (Tassew). Dictators have an inability to
identify with the feelings, needs, and viewpoints of others. Despite the fact that bullies rule over

to control or conquer other's rights. Chaplin also stated that, "I should like to help everyone – if
possible – Jew, Gentile black, and white. He shows his personality to all other races other than his
own. It showed that he cared about everyone it doesn't matter what ethnic background you are he
wants to help everyone if he could. In his discussion he states, "We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness – not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another." To put it in another way he illustrates that he is an
ordinary human despite his ranking. He was showing that he sees how "we' as in people want to live
happily together not to hate or look down on one another. His use of repetitions of the word "we"

I think Chaplin went with sound because he wanted to get in dept with what he was saying. I think
the speech sound is that he get louder and ge get emotional about what he is talking about. He is
easily considered one of the most important figures in industries, with a career that spanned more
than 75 years. I think he was great, he was trying to show that he was getting so emotional. He felt
sad because he thought that some people didn't believe what he was saying was true. He want
people to take his word in life and use it to let your life be better. Chaplin was the that comedies to
create a show for the little kids to have fun to watch. He made over a decade after he made his first

accept anything other than joke. Chaplin exposes his feeling by bursting and swollen his bubble of

through cinema. He did so even before the cinema had come of age. Chaplin's contribution to the
development of cinema was nothing short of enormous. The time in which Chaplin's career was
flourishing, was also a time when the world was experiencing many problems. Chaplin's personal
beliefs, in combination with the events happening in the world at the time, were a driving force in
what message one of his later films carried.

were both born within four days of each other in the year 1889. Furthermore, the two men bore ...

He was no longer "The tramp" in films. A real job and a social standing, as a Jewish barber, had
replaced his comical mannerisms and out–of–touch approach to life. His decision to do the film
made sense for the time, seeing as he had a great disdain for the German government. It also would
not be an overstatement to say that Chaplin harbored a small "grudge" against the German regime.
The film progresses steadily to its controversial anti–Nazi climax. Charlie the barber is mistaken for
the dictator (Hynkel) and is marched to the podium by his supporters to deliver a speech to the
congregation. Upon arriving there, the barber rallies himself to deliver a noteworthy speech against
the evils of fascism and dictatorship. The speech he delivers goes as follows:

The portrayal of the "Double–Cross," the spoof of Nazis, and Adenoid Hynkel, the spoof of Adolf

stormtroopers are the butt of frequent jokes throughout the film. However incompetent they are,
though, there is no doubt they pose a real threat. As the film develops the dynamics between Hynkel
and the stormtroopers, we learn the stormtroopers mainly pose a threat because they're easily
corruptible and blindly following the orders of Hynkel and other high–ranking fascists who do

Kathy A. Weaver Mrs. Mary Scudier Writing l 2 October 2017 Dictate Fate, Then vs. Now British
comedian Charlie Chaplin produced a comedic satire, The Great Dictator, which reflected Hitler's
endeavors. The film was released in 1941 and before its production, WWI ended and the Germans
sought out a scapegoat for their devastated economy. Due to this, Hitler rose to power by assigning
blame to the Jewish community. The Germans then committed awful acts on the Jewish population,
contributing to WWII. Through this all, Charlie Chaplin saw a reason to make a movie: waging war
against Hitler on the big screen. His film targeted anti–nazi audiences, leaving those who watched to
laugh at the Germans. In this movie, Chaplin focuses on the history surrounding Germany, but adds
his own twist as well. The two main characters are both played by himself. One is a poor barber, and
the other is the dictator of Germany, Hynkel. In the beginning, the barber saves the life of a man on
the last day of WWl. Immediately after, he's admitted into a hospital and stays in a coma for the next
20 years. When the barber wakes up, he is in the middle of the Holocaust. Later, the man he saved
turns out to be a Nazi, and helps warn off fellow soldiers from bothering the barber. Regardless of

The Great Dictator made in 1940, written, produced, and directed, by Charlie Chaplin: was then a
controversial film because it exposed Nazism and anti–Semitism with humor. The film is composed
of some silent film's methods such as muted gestures, and mimes, but this film was Chaplin's first
true sound film. Chaplin's film was a stroke of genius, he interprets the horrors happening in
Germany throughout WWII in an ironic but also elegant way. In the film, the main subject is Adolf
Hitler and the rise of European fascism.
I found the film meaningful, it was a controversial topic back then. I believe the film did far greater
good than harm because it encourages independent thought. Chaplin's ability to be serious was not
limited to his humor, yet he intelligently transports the sadistic nature of the event portrayed in the
film and the monstrosities of the Holocaust. "The Great Dictator", was the representation of the war
and dictatorship. I think it's a good thing to make light of something like the Nazis because it
provides one of the most effective ways to examine basic moral issues without the negative
commutation.
The Holocaust was a tragedy that occurred because of the immense power the Nazis had.

In "The Great Dictator's Speech" spoken by Charlie Chaplin, a famous actor in the early 20th
century, seems to talk about the evils in the world and how mankind should all unite and make peace
with one another without the need for war, death, and petty rivalries. However, the goal of the
speaker in this speech actually points towards his desire to gain power, which he will then abuse as
it is written in the name," The Great Dictators Speech." The main purpose of the speech itself is to
inform people and all of humanity has the power of themselves rather than a dictator. In other
words: Freedom and peace in the world. Chaplin's character talks of how man has fallen, succumbed
to greed and misery, which then turns into war and bloodshed. He uses this to convince people they
all must set aside their differences to unite as one to prevent future struggles in the world. In his first

The Final Speech Analysis Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, was known as an English comic
actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame during the era known as silent film, and also
wrote one of the greatest speeches ever written. It is during his speech, in the movie "The Great
Dictator", released in 1941, that Chaplin gives one of the most memorable speeches that is still
conversed about in the present, and has in the past year been trending on social media due to its'

He goes on to say that, "We all want to help each other. Human beings are like that. We want to live
by each other's happiness – not by each other's misery." Chaplin states this so that he may appeal to
everyone and anyone in all walks of life. It is a social convention people just want to have the ability
to live their life with others in a peaceful and joyful state. Mr. Charles Chaplin continues saying, "...
earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have
lost our way," furthering the point that humans want to ultimately coexist, without the threat of
violence and Chaplin believes the world was created in a way that enables us to do just that. The
only problem is that the memory of how to do such a thing has absconded from many people's
minds. "Greed has poisoned men's souls...goose–stepped us into misery and bloodshed." Here Mr.
Chaplin is able to expertly use slang that the audience understands and associates with. This is the
reason Chaplin gives for the ability to cohabitate having been forgotten. Over time, "machinery that
gives us abundance has left us in want." We can obtain all the essentials that are needed to live so

41. Analysis Of The Great Dictator Charlie Chaplin
The 'Great Dictator' written and directed by Charlie Chaplin is a film that circles around two
characters, which are both played by Chaplin. The movie begins in a time and place similar to one
where Hitler had risen to power, and started his annihilation of the Jews. Chaplin plays both the
amnesiac Jewish barber and Hynkel (Hitler), the dictator of Tomainia. Hynkel though a powerful
and ruthless dictator is often shown to be comically dwarfed both in height and intelligence. His
right–hand commander, or trash guy, seems to be the one behind some of his plans. He compliments
Hynkel with words of praise then proceeds to hint at ways to destroy the Jews, and take over the
neighboring states. But as the film progresses, we see how Chaplin portrays Hynkel as being utterly
ridiculous; the man cannot seem to do anything without growing angry at his own incompetence.
Movies like this, and a similar film, 'Inglorious Bastards', portray Hitler as a man who in the face of
death or immediate anger will quiver and blubber nonsense or the next second muster enough anger
to rant as loud as possible (ex: "Cheese and Crackers!) I think Chaplin did good capturing the
Fuhrer's mannerisms in such an ironic way. Some of his mannerisms include the feeble, affected
hand–salute; Inclination for striking ludicrous attitudes; The fabulous fits of rage and violent facial
contortions.
There were many themes I noticed in the film, and one of the most prevalent themes was the use of
satire. The use of humor and exaggeration provided a constant comic relief from the actual reality of
what was going on during this time. Although he did state at one point that he was unaware, or not
fully aware of Adolf's actions and intentions. According to an article, Chaplin wrote in his biography
that he 'regretted making the "The Great Dictator:" "Had I known of the actual horrors of the
German concentration camps, I could not have made the Great Dictator; I could not have made fun
of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis." I found it interesting that in a way his film was
foreshadowing history itself. At the beginning of the film, the detective missile continues to aim at
the Jewish soldier, no matter how many times he changes directions. It felt like

This is sufficient to lead a happy peaceful life and doesn't even require terrorizing anyone with
cannonades and bullets. When nature provided us things for free, why to go all tacky and choose the
modus operandi of killing people for power just to earn more which is not helping us in any way?
Paradoxically, with power should come responsibility– which should be naively used for the
betterment of mankind. Greed is the root of all evil deeds. It has poisoned our sane minds and
caressing souls and left us frenzied about conflicting pain to humanity. We are living in cocoons,
hiding our real selves and forgetting our human values. Man has created technology for easier living
of mankind, but now technology is slowly dominating over mankind. Our knowledge has made us

cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will

49. How Does Charlie Chaplin Use Satire In The Great Dictator
The propaganda offered in the 1940s was very effective, due to the manipulative tactics used by
creators and the easily influenced population of America. Take the movie "The Great Dictator" for
instance. In this movie, Charlie Chaplin uses satirical and ironic themes in order to portray the real
meaning about World War 2.Throughout the film, Chaplin tries to convey the theme that, people
with the power to create amazing things and do amazing things (make machinery, philosophy,
breakthrough discoveries) shouldn't use that power in order to fight over who is better. This can be
seen in both of the characters he plays. By using this theme and satirical strategy, Chaplin makes the
Nazi Party and Hitler himself look like fools. Chaplin has used a parody on the way Hitler speaks,
orders his followers, and how he acts towards the Jewish populations, in which Hitler is seen to be
like a child with a lot of power; in which in reality, his generals are seen to be doing most of the
work, while Hitler is seen to just be ordering people around constantly, even for smaller tasks. The
producers of this film use the scenes of parody and irony to provide propaganda against the Nazi
Party; thus showing American society that what the Nazi's are doing is both bad and ridiculous,
which also justifies the need to stop fighting, through the use of war. However, during Chaplin's
final speech, he discusses the necessary movement of stopping war and working together to solve
problems, if we claim to have the amazing power to win a war.

Imagine being a kid, losing your father to alcoholism, experiencing your own mother breaking down

Spencer Chaplin started his career at a young age and built himself up. Starting his career in The
Eight Lancashire Lads, Chaplin was able to let his name be known to dignitary people. His

Charlie was born on April 16, 1889 in London, England to Lily Harley, and Charles Chaplin Sr. His
parents split up when he was young, due to his mother's affair with Leo Dryden. Since the break off,

Many films that make a mockery of dictators have been released over the years, but two of those
films stand out for how accurate their parodies are in reality, that stands up to a known oppressor.
These two films are The Great Dictator (1940) and The Interview (2014). These two films share the
comedic twist of Classical Hollywood Narrative to outline their story. Unlike many other films
mocking a dictator these two films create a parody of a known figure in modern history to
demoralize each despot for the good of the oppressed society. Outside of the film itself, they share a
severe backlash upon release that involves bombings, cyber–attacks, and bans on both films. The
following discussion will examine how the similarities in the techniques employed by each
filmmaker during development helped to strengthen each film's satiric impact, while also causing
each film to incur a similarly harsh and violent reception upon debut.
By 1938 Chaplin was one of the greatest writers, directors and actors in the film industry, well
known for his socioeconomic and political satire within The United States. He felt so confident in
his ability in mocking the world's most dangerous man that he was willing to spend $1.5 million of
the $2 million budget. The two differences in this later film from his earlier work were the

Charlie was a lifelong pacifist, but he was also a realist who saw that the aggression of the Axis

suggesting that America immediately open a two front war to help our "friends" in the

of people in Alphaville is so absurd and ridiculous that can be considered as humorous. The
audience can feel the unnatural in such an unrealistic setting. As for the degree of fun, The Great
Dictator more satisfies the genre of a "comedy".
To dig out the central idea of a movie, the audience should pay attention the themes and symbolism
the movies try to portray. The Alphaville shows the audience a dystopian picture. Alphaville is a city
controlled by the A.I. Alpha 60, there is no democracy nor freedom here. When Johnson kills
professor von Braun and destroys Alpha 60, he gives the city a rebirth. This movie presents a
fustigation to the totalitarianism and a yearning for free will. How about The Great Dictator? This
movie presents a similar picture. The Hynkel in this movie is similar to the Alpha 60 in Alphaville.
The speech given by the Jewish barber in the ending of the movie shows a desire for freedom and
democracy. Of course, The Great Dictator shows something more. It advocates for sympathy to the

By this time, Chaplin, a vocally political anti–fascist, had expressed his dislike for Germany?s
Fuhrer and had been working on The Great Dictator since 1937 (Cole, 2001). Despite this, Chaplin
was pressured ?either to render the images and message of his film inoffensive to Hitler and
Mussolini, which meant eliminating any anti–fascist propaganda element, or else to drop the project
altogether? from the start of his work on the film (Cole, 2001). Until this point in time, the American
cinema had ignored Hitler?s presence and actions, as propaganda films were still slightly looked
down upon, due to their misuse during World War I (Cole, 2001). Perhaps another reason for
Chaplin?s public dislike of Hitler, was that his wife at the time, Paulette Goddard, was herself
Jewish (Brownlow & Kloft, 2002). In the film itself, Chaplin shows many events that reflect the
reality of late 1930?s Germany including most prominently the treatment of the Jewish people
through representations of anti–semitic graffiti and an event reminiscent of Kristallnacht. In the
early scenes of the Jewish ghetto, the windows all have painted graffiti reading "Jew" (Sherman,
2002). During the beginning of Jewish persecution in Germany, it was not uncommon for Nazis and

parallels the story of a poor Jewish barber as he tries to avoid persecution from Hynkel's regime.
The plot of this movie was meant to satirically mirror the events that were happening in the real

begin. In fact, he had already finished the bulk of the filming before Hitler had begun his blitzkrieg
of Europe. Charlie has stated that if he knew of Hitler's appalling actions, he would have never

Alphaville itself and what is stands for is one big joke in the eyes of Jean–Luc Godard. One instance
where humor is introduced in the film is when LemmyCaution meets up with Henri Dickson at a
local hotel. Dickson, joined by a seductress, takes Caution up to his room to chat. After they are

world around him, does not realize that he is being watched at photographed by Caution. Although
this film is quite different from The Great Dictator in the sense the there is not comedy around every

change in their respective countries. The three films have a similar style and it helped people to cope
with this reality. These films represent the political social freedom of speech. First, The Great
Dictator, a film with humor, was made at the beginning of World War II when Charlie Chaplin spoke
for the first time representing different characters to prove his opposition against Nazism and
mocking Hitler. His humoristic film relieves political stress over society. Next, No Regrets For Our
Youth, a sentimental film, was made at the end of World War II and represents a new generation
with new changes. The principal character projected the new style
