i'm only 20 years old and i just saw this for the first time. Some scenes had me dying from laughter and others had me depressed. Great movie

Great movie with incredibly funny humour, but sometimes it just stretches a bit. The joke was funny for 10-15 seconds maximum but they make it for 30s-1m and then it's just not that funny anymore. The 2h 5m could've worked in 1h45m as well. But still of course an amazing film for that time.

I've never seen this movie, but this scene right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeZ8sHsKkkQ is EPIC! It moves me EVERY TIME. It's something we should all think about!

One of those classics that I just had to see. Really interesting to watch from a film-historical point of view.

Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator even to this day is pretty ahead of its time with its great satire even if focus on a controversial figure of time and now. It has plenty of funny jokes and mix in with rather serious moments and especially the monologue people have highly praised it since then, and that still holds some relevance today nearly 90 years later. Definitely one of the greatest comedy films ever made and there is a chance The Great Dictator wouldn’t be made had Chaplin knew about the atrocities going on in Germany. It’s no wonder how influential the Great Dictator is nowadays and also to the satire genre.
