Having been the only Hollywood film maker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, this was Chaplin's first true talking picture as well as his most commercially successful film

Charlie Chaplin - The Great Dictator [complete - 2:05:16]

Uploaded on Dec 25, 2011

A masterpiece, Charles "Charlie" Chaplin outdoes himself here. Satirizing the Nazi regime, Jewish internment and persecution, he outlines the road for world peace in a beautiful speech at the end of the film. Unbeknownst to him shortly after this film was made, millions of prisoners in concentration camps were going to be executed in horrific ways, experimented upon, and treated without dignity. This film, is just as important now as it was then, born of courage in the face of adversity, when many Americans and Europeans thought just the same as Hitler and the Nazi eugenicists.
