In the nation of Tomainia, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin), his old ally from the army Schultz (Reginald Hardiner) and his neigh"

"“One thing that killed me about it is, you take an amazingly beautiful woman like Paulette Goddard, and you put a little smudge of dirt on her face, and then you wash her face and she looks in the mirror and says, ‘I’m cute.’ Cute! No, Shirley Temple is cute – you’re a world-class beauty!” - Carrie Fisher “Chaplin was a true auteur because he didn’t have anyone looking over his shoulder. He could take as long as he wanted to make a movie…. Not only were seeing this story ab"

" Notes: To be honest, even though I enjoyed Chaplin’s later work like ‘Monsieur Verdoux’ and ‘Limelight’, I wasn’t exactly blown away by these movies. On the other hand, you won't hear me complaining about this amazing and timeless masterpiece. Where should I start? Even though it was released 13 years after the end of the silent era, this was Charles Chaplin's first all-talking, all-sound film so, in the contrary to some of his contemporaries, he didn't have much trouble with sound"

"19.2. 2020 "The Great Dictator" was controversial when it was released for several different reasons. American authorities were concerned that Chaplin's film would hurt relationships between USA and Nazi Germany, but the film was released anyway and it became one of the greatest classics and true milestones of the American cinema. When Chaplin was planning "The Great Dictator", he had to face his greatest challenge yet: he had to abandon the Tramp character who was loved by countless people all"

“A pesar de ser una de las obras más influyentes de la historia del cine debí decir que la gente más casual puede encontrarla un poco lenta y aburrida, sobretodo sino le llama mucho la atención las películas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

A mí personalmente me gustó bastante y puedo imaginarme lo que significó para alguien de la época esta cinta, trata temas que en ese momento eran sumamente sencibles de manera sutil y humorística, pero al mismo tiempo muy clara.

Pero incluso más que a los amantes de la historia la recomiendo a quienes disfruten el humor del siglo XX tipo Chespirito y apasionados del cine en general.” read more
