Charlie Chaplin's first proper "talkie" brings together laughs and drama as a poignant anti-fascist statement. Charlie Chaplin plays an autocratic ruler and a poor barber through political satire, showing great tender humanity at ease. And the speech climax, here, centers around Chaplin's lamentation in this world for freedom, peace, and goodness to overcome its tyranny. Its resonance stands the test of time, and the raw sincerity of the monologue is sure to leave audiences reflective and tearfully so, reminding us that the fight for justice and equality is eternal.
