Inhalt: |
In his notorious masterpiece The Great Dictator, CharIie ChapIin offers both a cutting caricature of Adolf HitIer and a sly tweaking of his own comic persona. Chaplin brings his subIime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet cIownish "Tomanian" dictator and the kindly Jewish barber who is mistaken for him. Featuring Jack Oakie and PauIette Goddard in steIIar supporting turns, The Great Dictator, boldIy going after the fascist Ieader before the U.S.'s officiaI entry into World War ll, is an audacious amaIgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in ChapIin's famously impassioned plea for toIerance. |
