In Times Like These, This Means So Much...JUST LISTEN!

This speech always gets me right in the feels.

Things are heating up GLP...

Btw, let's all buy some land in South America, settle a utopia of awakened GLPers. No kool-aid allowed...

Hey Bill.

My thinking is that there are enough people on this planet who truly get it.

A large force for good over fear and manipulation.

Thank you for posting this. It's much needed in today's world.

Dibs on the cocoa farms!

YW!

I disagree with charlie on the nations thing.... We need nations and borders.

very powerful, thanks for sharing this.

Never seen this before. Thank you so much.

Who knew Chaplin was such a powerful actor. Very inspiring

It's utter bullshit.

Indeed there are..

Yes. So many now. Trump, (who harps on the negative aspects) - speaks to the fear in the hearts of Americans, and some of us us long for a "great" era (long since past). Many are seeking the original "can do," optimistic spirit of our nation. Politicians and religious leaders don't represent all of us - yet we spellbound at their rhetoric, wonding who is in charge?Why are things escalating so rapidly? Everything sounds so dire. We are facing the absurdity of war, violence, and racial conflicts (still simmering), mass migration, poverty, economic disparity, and climate change. Guilt is being used to manipulate the masses, and common sense is not allowed or silenced. Many of us "silenced" are in the background, but I believe our numbers are huge. We're just not "counted."

Do you see his expression at the end. This is the true message. We as humans or, individuals have always the tendency to be extreme when in extreme despair or in extreme need to shake off tyranny.

He points out the evil machine, yet the emotional human can also become a dictator and seize or direct our world.

He wants not to be a leader, he wants peace and leans toward a more humble disposition. Yet, his passion demands that he leads. Two layers in view: he overcomes his own self restriction.
Or because of the ultimate rise in assertiveness, Then, in full circle, war ensues.

Perfect.

Great points and ring true today, sadly it always comes back to enslavement, which the world is facing today for the sick pleasure of a few. Yes we are all related, Mitakuye Oyasi, translates into, all my relations. Just my opinions

he wasn't just acting.




Yes....
Borders are meant control us ....like sheep in a field.

It's no secret that Chaplin was a progressive, communist and anti-capitalist.

Like a typical lib, his speech in "The Dictator" is big on emotion, but little else besides "Imagine"-type crapola.

I agree Chip, A commie speech indeed!!!

The John Lennon of his time.

Hey, Chip -- Isn't that Charlie Chaplin's grandson?

Im a 45 year old man and I have dibs pickin' it for you and won't give the production cost, so long I do tha' pickin'.....

This!

"Only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural."

Worlds apart.

I hate this and I hate that and I hate you,...

And yer little dog too.

Humanistic horseshit. It doesn't work.

.

Amen to that Z!

^This!

Nice production, but that is all that it is. Makes you think that you are hearing something more profound that what it is. But if you just read the script, without looking at the pics, or hearing the musical score, it reads more like Bernie Sanders stroking his unit.

Here ya GO!
