And in THE GREAT DICTATOR, he lives up to that reputation. This is one good movie, I must tell you. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

It wasn't necessarily brave - Hollywood was very anti-Nazi at the time. It was very compassionate of him to think of the plight of the Jews and to presume what their fate would be. He nailed Adenoid/Adolf, and Mussollini, and the whole dirty group. The movie speaks for itself - one of the greatest examples of tragi-comedy. Thank you for the valuable feedback!

Outstanding comedy, featuring Chaplin at his best, as both the self-effacing barber and the comically tyrannical dictator. Thank you for the valuable feedback!

Cosmo Renfro Member Since: Sep 2002 View Member's: Reviews	Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2002-10-02 00:00:00 Not only was Chaplin amazingly brave to make and release this movie, but it was also very very funny. He managed to make a movie mocking one of the most dangerous leaders in the world and also managed to make it hilarious that even Hitler allowed it to be seen in Germany. I recomend this movie to anyone who is either into history or into to classic laughtastic comedy. Thank you for the valuable feedback! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
