It's especially good considering who it's coming from (a man who is known for his silence) and that he's masquerading as Hitler at the time. It's too bad we're still a ways away from really anything said there.

Sure would... The problem is, most people would just change the channel or complain that whatever crap they like isn't on TV... It would fall on deaf ears I think.

instead of broadcasting this, why not have it for tv commercials? I think it's a great ideal

Yeah, I'll give it to Hitler he was a great public speaker and gave great speaches. But he's nothing more than a left-wing liberal.

On religion, Chaplin wrote in his autobiography, "In Philadelphia, I inadvertently came upon an edition of Robert Ingersoll's Essays and Lectures. This was an exciting discovery; his atheism confirmed my own belief that the horrific cruelty of the Old Testament was degrading to the human spirit."

You do know the speech was about the world being messed up but that if man would work together we have the power to do incredible things, right? That's more true now than the time when the speech was made. We're far better off now than we were during World War II.

I was amused by Zizek's statement on the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHpzNbH9voY I wish he expanded on the speech itself, there are quite a few things I find fault with it.

really ? Inspired ? Maybe I'm just missing something. But was it not just a video of someone saying. "greed has taken over" and other cliched stuff ? That's good don't get me wrong. But I didn't think it was particularly insightful.

I don't think it was very cliched 71 years ago, it inspires people to change and to take notice of what the world has become. It is also an example of how dictators can lead nations falsely with speeches like this in the way hitler did; it acts as a warning in more than one way it would seem.

The over-zealous nature of the speech and the answer to greed which he claims is devastating, "plaguing" modern civilization etc.

Not to mention the delivery was absolutely superb. Every single word that he spoke was done so with a mixture of sterness and passion that makes the whole message have serious weight. It's not like he was just casually reading, he was so lucid in his mission to engage his audience that it felt raw to the point of being surreal.

In 1940 those were some pretty radical ideas, especially when in the movie Chaplin is talking to the entire German army. While the speech is still good these days to say it was cliche without considering the time it was made and the situation the world was in is flat out wrong. That first bit about treating everyone equally back then was pretty heavy stuff, most countries didn't have equal rights for blacks and were prejudiced against jews. The context adds quite a huge amount to the scene.

He really does care, it's just perfect in every sense, it's more than acting, it's more than a character; it's true meaning and feeling put across in a way that couldn't be more powerful.
