1940 American film by Charlie Chaplin is a 1940 American satirical comedy-drama film written, directed, produced, scored by, and starring British comic Charlie Chaplin, following the custom of many of his other films. Having actually been the only Hollywood filmmaker to continue to make quiet films well into the duration of sound films, Chaplin made this his first true noise film.
At the time of its very first release, the United States was still officially at peace with Nazi Germany and neutral during what were the early days of World War II. Chaplin plays both leading functions: a callous fascist dictator and a persecuted Jewish barber. The Great Totalitarian was popular with audiences, becoming Chaplin's most commercially successful film.
Chaplin's climactic monologue has regularly been listed by critics, historians and movie buffs as perhaps the best monologue in movie history, and perhaps the most poignant tape-recorded speech of the 20th century. [] In 1997, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Computer Registry as being "culturally, traditionally, or aesthetically considerable".
In his 1964 autobiography, Chaplin mentioned that he might not have made the movie if he had understood about the true extent of the horrors of the Nazi prisoner-of-war camp at that time. On the Western Front in 1918, a Jewish Personal (Charlie Chaplin) combating for the Central Powers nation of Tomainia valiantly conserves the life of a wounded pilot, Commander Schultz (Reginald Gardiner), who carries valuable documents that could secure a Tomainian success.
Upon being saved, Schultz is informed that Tomainia has officially given up to the Allied Forces, while the Private is carried off to a hospital. Chaplin as Adenoid Hynkel Twenty years later on, still struggling with amnesia, the Personal go back to his previous profession as a barber in a ghetto. The ghetto is now governed by Schultz who has been promoted in the Tomainian regime, which transformed into a fascist dictatorship under the ruthless Adenoid Hynkel (likewise Chaplin).
