Charlie Chaplin- “Democracy”

#blackflightny #unite #democracy

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin was an English actor, composer, and filmmaker who became a worldwide icon through his silent film persona, the Tramp. Chaplin is considered a crucial figure in the film industry. In 1913, he moved to America to pursue a career in film. Chaplin was a talented composer and improviser, and his family archives contain many audio recordings of him working on the piano.

The Great Dictator

After dedicated service in the Great War, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin) spends years in an army hospital recovering from his wounds, unaware of the simultaneous rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin) and his anti-Semitic policies. When the barber, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Hynkel, returns to his quiet neighborhood, he is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl (Paulette Goddard) and her neighbors in rebelling.

“Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”
