Review: The Great Dictator

from Roll The Credits · host Frank DiSalvo and Zach Johnson

From the days of silent films to adapting to sound, few have been able to do it as well as Charlie Chaplin. Playing the dictator Hynkel and the barber during an alternate style to WW2 shows a hilarious yet horrifying side to war. In standard Chaplin style, there is definitely slapstick comedy but he's able to evolve it with the times to make a memorable story that everyone should check out if nothing else, for the last few minutes of the film. It really shows that it's not easy trying to be emperor of the world.
