America wasn't ready to see Charlie Chaplin play Hitler

- Charlie Chaplin's first sound picture, "The Great Dictactor" was an overtly satirical anti-war film released when Hitler's armies were marching across Europe during the Second World War.
In the film, Chaplin's unnamed Jewish barber character is mistaken for his other character, Adenoid Hynkel, Dictator of Tomania (and flat-out Adolf Hitler caricature). To save his own skin, the Jewish barber is compelled to deliver a speech at a Tomanian victory parade.
That speech is now regarded as one of the greatest monologues in cinema history. Chaplin's impassioned speech decried war and pleaded for brotherhood and goodwill among all men.
But at that early stage of the war, American opinions of Hitler were at best ambivalent and anti-semitism was socially acceptable. Chaplin's overtly critical film added to the FBI's suspicions that he was a communist and a Jew. This, together with his penchant for having relationships with much younger women resulted in Chaplin being banned from returning to America in 1953, and so he lived out the rest of his life exiled from Hollywood, in Switzerland.

Can I just remind you something or tell you? Well. Heres a reminder: Jesus Christ, The true God came down to earth because he loves you and He did something so loving. He died for your sins, And Not only that he died so you can have a decision, To follow Jesus Christ and follow him to heaven, Or Deny his offer for salvation and eternal life and instead choose to suffer eternally in hell. Jesus Christ wants us to go to heaven and save us from ourselfs, Because we are sinners. Thats why I Kindly ask you, Give Jesus Christ a chance. If you have any questions Or anything to say, Please tell me. And Ill answer. May Jesus Christ bless you, truly and may he be with you. Amen. 🙏🏼🙏🏼😊
Awesome amen 🙏@@Jesus_Christ_Is_Lord09
Man was silent his entire career and left everyone speechless when he spoke once
.
I just wrote for you to see how much like you got
He was a pedo..
Ahaha that's true
Once? I'm sure he talked more.
Chaplin: “I don’t like Hitler.”
US Government: “idk man, you’re probably a Jew.”
He was a Jew.
@@francograpelli3060and? He can be a Jew
@@tommythetemplarno he can’t
More like “sounds like c o m m u n i s m buckaroo”.
Some things never change.
Fun fact- he actually started filming the movie before the war started.
Fun fact: he says it in the video
@@ChickenSDS he meant Charlie started filming The Great Dictator in 1938 before ww2 has broke out, you're talking about the release date you're not being clever as you think
The release date was in 1939 or 1940 which would probably mean that they recorded it in 1938. So yea..
Germany Annex part of Czechoslovakia and very likely invaded Poland before the film was finished
Well that one they did in the 40's was a sequel. The first one came out in 1914.

😂 But obviously AH was not a big factor in ww1. He was there and a decent message runner from what I learned, he made corporal. But we gotta give it up to Charlie for having the balls to take on the most controversial topic of the time (and maybe ever) Plus for being correct with his comedic predictions. 🤘😉
Being kicked out of America, and "forced" to live in Switzerland sounds like a reward more than a punishment. Switzerland is stunning.
Minus the fact it was the rape capital of the world a few years back paired with out if control immigration yes absolutely stunning.
give me convenience or give me death pfp?
Charlie did state later on in an interview that he was glad to be out of Hollywood. Everything worked out for him in the end.

My favorite speech ever especially the second half of it.
The second half is the most dangerous. There are people manipulating the UN (and like Schwab in the UN) who are actually the most anti-democratic people on the planet. They are using the UN and elite politicians to create the kind of globalization and regime that Hitler and Stalin wanted. It is just that this time the they are using political, economic and media control to ensure that their agenda is being furthered and most ironically anyone who disagrees is labelled dangerous, or xenophobic or crazy just like the Canadian truckers or the Dutch farmers. But it is the WEF etc who are the real dangers. They are pushing the agenda already that by 2030 they want to reduce the ordinary people to "You will have nothing, but you WILL be happy 😊!" Just like the North Koreans already have nothing but have to pretend to be happy or suffer retribution for betraying the state (actually someone who's family name always seems to be Kim.
The brotherhood of man and no borders and such like sounds fine until you find that you are actually imprisoned in a 15 minute city and need permission to actually go anywhere except within your 15 minute lock down area.
Probably another reason why America hated it too.
It saddens me that a speech that brought me to tears the first time I heard it was treated with ambivalence and exile from America when the movie was released.
I visited his house in Switzerland, which is turned into a museum, a few days ago. Very interesting to see how the once most famous man in the world lived.
I would love to see it for myself! Must have been a profound experience.
Hitler's house? Wow that would be amazing to see! Did you get any souvenirs? Armband, replica war medals? You were blessed to step into the same building as this famous man.
@@joel.ha. what
@@PhilipThompson I can highly recommend. I did the same three days ago. It was bitter sweet- the house looks so welcoming, it feels like he just left and will come back any minute. And the garden- don’t get me started on his beautiful garden. It was the most beautiful and peaceful place I have ever seen in my entire life
@@joel.ha. he’s talking about chaplain’s house …
Ah yes, Switzerland, home of the exiled
Home of the RICH* exiled.
Victor korchnoi, former chess champion as well resided there after leaving the soviet union
Tina Turner even moved to Switzerland and had citizenship until she just passed recently. She felt more welcomed there than in America

@Jonah the procrastinator
So why doesn't he state that then? Being vague in this context is not helpful. He's left it open to interpretation.
I don’t think a lot of people nowadays have a clue how much bravery it took for him at that time to make that movie.. He was not just an artistic genius but also an admirably bold human being. He came from nothing and risked everything. His hard earned, miraculous career/wealth, new homeland and life, his reputation and status in Hollywood. He didn’t have to. He did it, because he was a humanist and an honorable, courageous man. He will always be loved and admired.
Truly agree 🫡
And let it not be forgotten that George Orwell was a snake who told the British government that Chaplin was a communist, making him a target for the IRD and the CIA during their dirty war era.
And his pedophilic acts
A penchant for much younger women in Hollywood! Who’d a thunk it eh?
@Creatine Breadstick why don't you use your real name, instead of messing with someone else's?
the age of consent was different back then
It was common knowledge since all his wives were very young when he married them.
13 years old in that time, around the world, were not brats watching tiktoks or throwing tantrums about their school home work, rather they cooked, cleaned, did everything as a grown woman including getting married and having kids.
@HenryTownsmyth justifying pedophilia eh? Classy
It wasn't his first sound picture. He had modern times 4 years before the great dictator in 1936, the main difference though is in modern times he used sounds very sparingly and methodically, only having any form of talking through a secondary medium like a radio. And when he did talk, (which was the first time his character talked at all), he was singing jibberish. Since because his character was fully developed and intended for silent films, there wasn't anything to be said.
And yes I'm a nerd.
*The Great Dictator* is his first official "talkie," though.
@@spencerfrankclayton4348 Officially maybe but by technicallity it wasn't
Never argue with a genuine nerd.
I came down here to say the same thing!
@@spencerfrankclayton4348 not really the other guy mentioned that his first talkie was called modern times
That really was a great speech truly
Sounds like he lost his Fame and got LABELED Because.........
HE SPOKE HIS MIND....
Yeah more or less
Oh that speech, damn that speech. “You don’t hate, only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural”
The speech at the end of the movie was straight FACTS and is just as relevant today as it was in the 1940's
And in that one short, it shows why the US government is often seen by other countries to have their collective heads so far up their behinds, they can see out their own mouthes. Too stupid to tell the difference between a great actor playing a part from a scrip, and reality. I bet the person who actually wrote that part of the script was completely ignored.
Charlie wrote the script.
He was the actor, writer and director for most of his films.
He wrote that speech from the heart. Another speech like it will never be written.
Everyone was being accused of being a communist back in the day, especially individuals with character and influence.
Calls out those who claim to fight for liberty only to enslaves its own people*
Gets banned from the land of the free
Uh oh
does anybody know what hitler said about this movie?
That information is not known.
Wait did Charlie Chaplin direct and act in this movie?
Sometimes USA does right.
Wow way to switch the narrative there. He left hollywood for being exposed as a peophille. Antisemitiism had nothing to do with it..
This is anti-gentile propaganda. He left for being exposed as a notorious pedophile. He should haver faced jail. Loving all the sheeple in the comment section swallowing up this propaganda. I guess in the future they'll say Polannski left hollywood for being a jew. Are the self-chosenites ever guilty of anything?
Great report🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I mean in fairness, if you put in context , historically it did seem like a philosophically pro communist speech. Whether or not that’s the correct message at the right time is the debate.
Fair point.
The Great Dictator was a hit when it was released and was financially successful. Chaplin was blacklisted in 1953 due to his communist sympathies.
Chaplin :nazis are bad
Fbi: funkin commie
He did date much younger women but the cia made most of the stuff up to have him kicked out. The lady he had supposedly been with was declared insane awhile after
He knocked up and married his second wife at the age of 16. Not CIA propoganda, but a well-documented fact.
Typical yanks, ruining everything
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
What a shame, America.
Imagine that.. One of the most inspiring and heartwarming speeches and monologues in cinema history was poorly received in its time..
We humans need to be bombarded and torn apart by world wars before we realize the wisdom of the past.
Its because we want to ignore and put out the thought that we a humans have done and continue to do unspeakable horrors to other people. We dont want to take responsibility for doing/allowing our fellow humans to suffer the horrors of the worst people in history. Its a crazy when you think about how much we have disassociated with that stuff.
Lol no guys don't do war, but let's fuck children weird sense of morality this guy had
And were still doing the same thing to people these days..
I don't think you can compare a celebrity getting dunked on for making anti-semitic/homophobic/transphobic comments on Twitter to Charlie Chaplin being exiled from America on suspicion of being a communist and a Jew... _for criticizing literal nazis._
Absolutely.
And now in name of tolerance
How much ironic humanity can get?
This makes that speech even more incredible.
Typical american attitude didn't Mccarthy have something to do with this ban.
McCarthy wasn't personally involved I don't think. The HUAC was a committee established by the House of Representatives, whereas McCarthy was a senator. "McCarthyism", i.e. The Communist witch hunt was very much a factor.
McCarthy was right.

McCarthy can burn in Hell for all I care
@@viktorthevictor6240 Ok, communism has failed every place it has been implemented.
@@co.1157 About what? His lists certainly were a work of fiction.
not an anti-war film....an anti-fascist film
Still a timeless piece worthy of a listen. His words weighed truth thru generations. I hope one day his words are realized and we can have a decent world.
He denounced fascism and greed so americans labeled him a commie and kicked him out.
Some things never change.
Not one of the greatest monologues. It was the geatest monologue.
I'm his first speaking role he gives the greatest speech in all human history... Thank you Mr Chaplin
I can see why the evil man took a image from Charlie Chaplin. The mustache.

"Wait, equality?!?! Take down this movie this offends me! And kick out this Jew! Ah, the land of the free is finally free!"
Notice it's the same playbook? Accuse those that which you are guilty of. With under age and those that we can't speak about. Rinse and repeat.
this is one of the best speeches I've ever heard in cinema.
Modern Times was actually the first Chaplin film with a soundtrack. It was the first time many ever heard Chaplin speak, although prior to this Chaplin did speak in a newsreel about his visit to his native England.
Yes, indeed.. Although in Modern Times Chaplin speaking was in the form of singing his 'nonsense song' which itself was intended as a jab again talkies, which he delayed adopting for as long as he could.
@@PhilipThompson The way Chaplin used sound in Modern Times was genius! Notice how all of the dialog was by or through machinery? How prophetic! It certainly foresaw the communication practices of today -- and the breakdown of human communication.
The only one he sung in, but not the first one with a soundtrack... The Boy had a musical sountrack that is indeed very good and it came out in 1921
This whole movie is genuinely great in my crappy opinion. And obviously the speech at the end is top tier.
charlie chaplin: hitler is bad
united states: sounds pretty communist and jewish to me
Did not know about the kicked out and Switzerland bit. Maybe the truth he spoke in that speech at the end of the film caused enough fear in those who ran the US to keep him out!
What a dam legend. Wish I could be around for a thousand years to see another comedian like him arise.
Anarchism not being confused with anomie is a vital answer to the question how humanity can survive this century. Fascism and parliamentary capitalism are not!
Charlie Chaplin will be remembered. Without being in Hollywood. But Hollywood stars will be forgotten
Truly one of the most important speeches no one has ever heard, you can feel sincere altruism and veracity of every word.
To be fair, this film came out during the US Great Depression where everyone was so beaten down and angry that they were looking for someone to blame and would take out their emotions on anyone. But his “cattle led to slaughter” speech is untouchable as it accurately describes how desperate young men who were/are (myself included) to find a way to prove ourselves as men.
Unfounded accusations were unfair to Chaplin. This important film was prophetic. True Charlie did not live the life of a monk, but those were private affairs. He married those young girls and ended his life with his longest and last marriage to Oona.
He was looking for a women of his life to be loved and feeling right and was lucky to find Oona .
That was the greatest moment I ever witnessed. For a second, I thought it was the real thing.
Banned from the USA for having relationships with younger women?
Hypocritical double standards much?
I LOVE this movie. I think it is amazingly accurate for a pre-WWII film. With its depiction you would think it was post WWII not pre. I think ALL high school and college classes that teach WWII should show this movie.
2024 and that’s still the greatest speech in 1940
AMAZING & Inspiring
That speech in the great dictator really is great though
Chaplin was one of the finest cinema artist the World has ever seen. His adopted country,USA exiled him on suspicions of being a Communist! The FBI was paranoid about International Communism! They harassed many Hollywood artists who were unconventional! In fact the FBI was unfortunately an organisation made up of Nazis and racists! Chaplin's personal life may have been very controversial! But he made some of the classics of the film world and was a master of the mime. US of A lost a great movie maker by their stupidity. And this sort of bureaucratic stupidity continues in the USA
Thank you for your fascinating presentation 🏆
Well, I'm sure being a communist and a Jew is not the reason why he delivered this speech. Those two things didn't nearly bother him as much as the reason why he came to deliver this speech
"Satire is the sign of a healthy society!" - Edward Toulon, Puppet Master 3
Sometimes people are just way ahead of their time. Society as a whole is very old-fashioned and very hive-minded in their thinking. In the west homosexuality was once seen as a mental condition and so horrible that it required jail or as in England chemical castration. Even though the practice of homosexuality stemmed back to the beginning of time. Luckily as things progressed people become more open-minded.
His end speech did have a lot of communist messages behind it.
No just pro democratic and anti facist
Yes he was an overt socialist. Though I am pretty sure he was not a Marxist leninist/ussr style communist party member. I think he was more of democratic socialist or an anarcho-communist.
We owe Charlie Chaplin a great deal of gratitude for making that film!! Charlie Chaplin new what was happening and the cost of standing idle🌞
Every word of that speech is true!

Interesting!
The Great Dictator wasn't the first movie Chaplin talked in. The first ever movie he spoke was Modern Times.
Yes, however the "talking" in Modern Times was only a gibberish song sung by Chaplin, whereas the Great Dictator was the first feature film with full dialogue.
@@PhilipThompsonRight after The Great Dictator, Chaplin went straight to Nazi-Germany to show he wasn't scared of the SS or any top Nazi officials.

Very sad and disgusting the way the US government stabbed him in the back. Anyway, at least he finally has justice in the fact that he created the greatest speech ever known in human history.
"they thought Charlie Chaplin was a communist" hmm I wonder whatever could have given them that idea...
His co-writer for that speech and second unit director for the film Daniel Lewis James WAS blacklisted by HUAC in 1951
The only other speech that invokes the same emotions is Pale Blue Dot...
I've memorize both...
He suits the character with the moustache
I listened to the speech Charlie Chaplin gave in The Great Dictator, the other day. It stands as true today as it did then. If y'all haven't heard it I highly recommend it. ❤
Great way to go out.
I remember this movie at 1940
When you’re a comedian in silent films and decide to open your mouth, you fucked up
Stick to your guns has a song called “I choose nothing” that uses that speech as part of the intro. It used to get me so riled up and I found out it was from this recently. Listening to the speech is just as intense as that song. I’d recommend it to anyone that sees this even if you’re not into metal or hardcore music
I think all videos about Charlie Chaplin deserves to be subtitled in Ukrainian!.. ,)
Why? We understand english
Switzerland is a truly unique country maybe learn about them some every born citizen serves in the army for some time and everyone who served must take their weapons home from war
I wouldn’t say it’s one of the best is the best
