The Great Dictator update feed

“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.

"Charlie Chaplin's terrific political satire 'The Great Dictator' was made in response to the rise of Hitler and the Nazis and though it was controversial at the time of release given that the USA was still formally at peace with Germany, the film was immediately accepted as a triumph and a classic. 'The Great Dictator' is not only critical of Hitler but all dictators and Chaplin takes apart the notion of anti-Semitism as ridiculous.
