Man thinks he can control the world, but he ends up destroying it in the process...this scene was beautiful
ça fait réfléchir
This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest scenes in cinema.
Truely What a cinematic depth, characterization. The whole idea of growing into the dictator of the world, makes the man himself too small at the moment. His timidity was aptly exposed in the scene. Then the passion took over the reason, he send the other man out of room. And then the earth was at his mercy. All the time floating, tumbling, and finally bursting due to his whims. What a cinematic prose... Absolutely telling.
It is certainly very, very prescient.
The Globe scene is just perfect.Charlie Chaplin is just great! I’m loving it!!! His grandson James Thierree is also very talented!He looks so much like him. That’s in their genes !!!!
You got that right.
It is not one of the greatest scenes, it is the greatest scene in cinema ever! The beauty, the performance, the content….. Incomparable!
It's noteworthy that Chaplain, who first achieved fame in silent films, chose to revert to silence in what was probably his greatest and most important movie scene. This was genius!
There's definitely a mix of silent and talking scenes in this movie. A fantastic mix of the two to create a masterpiece of biting satire.
What isn't funny is the fact that the vast majority of Germans were followers and supporters of this ridiculous guy that Charlie Chaplin mocked. Because as everyone knows, Hynkels original was the German "Führer" Adolf Hitler. Chaplin was actually mocking the entire Nazi nation. Because this Nazi nation wasn't just completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated, but also completely ridiculous with its boastful demeanor.
I love how his dance is so calm and lovely that you almost forget what a monster he really is Then it pops and reminds you what would happen if someone like this ran the world
Why subjunctive? What is happening because people like this do run the world.
@@philipstevenson5166 theres a difference between mad men running portions of the world and one wanting to run the entire thing
Are you talking about what Hitler failed to achieve but only Stalin succeeded?
That's what Chaplin wanted people to wonder. The Germans put a price on his head because of this depiction. It shows a would be dictator playing with the world as if with a toy balloon. Hitler was intending just that.
@@wangben99 Who needs Hitler, the WEF and it's founder Schwab is out there and is insane. His father worked for the regime as Hitler became "Reichskanzler", but continue to believe that you will never end up in Orwell's World. I know what is coming, and my poison is prepared, because I have enough of stupid cowards, who let insane sociopath rule the world. I do not suffer, because of you!
This scene is just genius! 4 minutes of a dream sequence and then the balloon pops, he comes back to reality... this is pure gold!

The world can only have only one Charlie Chaplin. Nearly 4 min of cinematic genius
Amen --- a true genius in every sense. On the other hand, let's thank goodness that the World has only had one Hitler. Over 7 years of complete horror.
@@Hernal03six years Pointless greed for power
Its ironic that Chaplin and Hitler were born in the same year and month. One man grew up to give the world laughter and the other grew up only to give the world war and death.
CC born 16 April 1889, AH 20 April 1889; Chaplin was four days older than Hitler
Also Hitler wanted to start a career as an artist, but he failed.
There is a story Hitler changed the form of his moustache, when he saw pictures of Chaplin....
@Frank Holt Sure, Hitler did it for the lulz, but I wasn’t aware Charlie Chaplin killed so many people!
You know nothing about Hitler, and speak in ignorance.
Great dialogue delivery ....by a hero of silent movie era.... Showing his greatness as an actor...
…all while sticking it to Hitler.
It’s amazing. It goes from serious to silly to oddly beautiful and then back to silly without killing the tone. You can see this maddened fascination grow in his mind without a word. It’s incredible honestly knowing how poignant film has been since the beginning. There’s always been something to say or even something to get across without saying a thing.
he was one of the only artists that dare say what a monster hitler and the nazis are. such a brave man he was..RIP Charlie
Some of that talk during the first part of this video clip sure wouldn't go down too easy today. The second half of this clip showed the beauty that was in so many films back then. I love that old time music
Meanwhile, Mel Brooks was actually fighting in the war.
That's why we Love Charlie! He was a Unique and so special Actor! One of a kind. R.I.P Charlie.
@@Cartoonman154 The Great Dictator was released in 1940 and the script was being written in 1938. Brooks was drafted in 1944.
@@bobbyduggart4493 if you don’t think he was a monster then your moral compass isn’t working.
Such triumph of writing, acting and directing, this marvellous scene! So much genius and brilliance in one man. It's hard to believe he really existed. Fortunately for the thankless posterity, he left plenty of evidence for his existence.
It’s amazing how this and the speech at the end of the film fit so well alongside some of the more overtly slapstick moments that which personified Chaplin’s legacy in film. This scene in particular is one of my most favorite he did alongside the tilting cabin in The Gold Rush; the emotional finale of The Kid, and the Little Tramp getting caught up in the gears in Modern Times. Something about this scene balances so well with elements of satire, darkness, and a strange sense of beauty. It’s an excellent way of showing Hynkel as a power hungry and delusional monster who thinks the world is a plaything to him, yet Chaplin weaves this so well into the fabric of also showing this monster as one whose malevolence runs hand in hand with his rather silly ineptitude. Another small touch I like that reinforces the darkness behind Hynkel is how Chaplin lets out that sinister cackle before tossing the globe around, showing that even an inept monster can still very much be a dangerous one. Finally, the cherry on top, is the music and Chaplin’s choreography, as it showed he hadn’t lost a single step and was very much capable of moving with such grace as he was capable of tumbling around. Overall, a true testament to his abilities as a filmmaker and that though his career didn’t have much left in it (his wrongful exile being the reason), he was still a true master of his craft to the very end.
Very very very well written…
What is truly great about this celebrated scene is that it is accompanied by Wagner's narcissistic music about the warrior-saviour hero AND immediately followed by the other celebrated scene accompanied by Brahms's popular music based on Hungarian dance. Of course, Wagner versus Brahms was the main opposition in late nineteenth-century music.
thank you dear Sir for such wonderful information
Liszt and Chopin and Rossini and Dvorak were great too 19th century
You should watch the ending of the movie too, where the truly beautiful Lohengrin Ouverture is used again, but unironically to symbol hope and humanity! You're missing half the picture, my friend! Lohengrin is a symbol of faith and humanity more than he is a "hero". The titular Lohengrin isn't even the protagonist of the opera, Elsa is and the tragedy is a psychological one: her loss of faith in the good of humanity after being betrayed by her foster father Friedrich von Telramund. This is the reason Chaplin uses this tender and soulful piece of music to represent not only humanity, but also the fragility of the world itself, which in this scene is shown at the mercy of a horrible dictator. The music ends the instant the balloon pops and the world is destroyed. It is used to symbol humanity here too, to contrast the evil man and remind one that monsters aren't monsters, they're part of humanity too - and that makes their monstrosity all the more tragic.
@@TVDandTrueBlood I completely agree with you. I simplified my argument in my previous comment to avoid complexity, but I'm very much aware that the Lohengrin overture accompanies Paulette Goddard looking up to the sky with HOPE! Thank you for your comment.
Wagner was right however
Great way of metaphorically showing Hitler and his imagination and his deeds....which went nowwhere...ultimately the bubble burst...speaks of the times when this masterpiece was released.
I watched this movie for the first time yesterday, it is such a brilliant piece of cinema, thoroughly entertaining. No wonder it's such a timeless classic!
I have watched that scene a gazillion times! But today it takes on a whole different meaning with what is going on in the world! Genius forever!
Yes, Fascism is rising again in some countries around the world.
Chaplin still matters today, now more than ever!
Not so much fascism, but world war by leaders against their own populations
@@ZekromReshiramVolt , it is indeed fascism. Putin in Russia and Trump in the U.S. Marie Le Pen, Victor Orbin and Matteo Salvini are the modern day version of Mussolini and Hitler.
@@inkyguy Don't be too fast to judge Russia. The federation is very young yet and came after more than 70 years of communism and communism came after centuries of monarchy. The first French Republic was a dictature too, the second was destroyed by his own president who wanted more power and only the third was a real democracy... 80 years after the french revolution. Russia has to take the time necessary to build a democracy, nothing more.
"Dictator of the world... a god" "*GASP* nono, you musn't say it" always makes me laugh
Bevause Hitler is atheist .
@@skmanth6194 What does that have to do with anything? And no, i'm pretty sure he wasn't.
"You make me afraid of myself!"
GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS THANK you CHARLIE Chaplin
he's so graceful and his movements are effortless ❤️ and that jump onto the desk, wow!
Chaplin had such graceful moves. He really was a great dancer in my opinion.
He did so much physical comedy, which often doesn't look graceful but probably requires a great deal of control over your body.
Hard to believe that this movie did not win a single Academy Award. Absolute nonsense.
Hard to believe but at the time of its release, the US was still at peace with Nazi Germany…At any rate, the 13th Academy Awards had an array of truly spectacular films to choose from: Rebecca, Foreign Correspondent -both by Alfred Hitchcock, the Thief of Baghdad, The Grapes of Wrath, Pinocchio to name a few. These days movies that get awards from the Academy Awards are usually dreadful))): Charlie Chaplin is a true worldwide icon!
@@irinakrugler9158 very true. This film was well liked at the time I'm sure, it's just that there were so many great films back then, like you said. Many great films didn't get an award simply because there were many more great films than awards available
@Alvex Ok I wish we had as many good movies to choose from as moviegoers did back then…
The Academy has always been sort of clueless. Chaplin did win an Oscar for The Circus, at the very first award presentation (before they were even called Oscars). Then, in the early 70s, he won a lifetime achievement award. No doubt too little too late, but Charlie graciously accepted. I imagine The Great Dictator was too overtly political to win that year. The film was really ahead of its time. Lest we forget, the US was not at war with Nazi Germany yet and Hitler still had some staunch supporters over here. Today of course, everyone knows the true breadth of how monstrous Hitler was. People don’t realize what a huge risk Chaplin took making this film.
@Scott Moore If I'm not mistaken, I believe Chaplin wrote in his autobiography that had he known all the atrocities Hitler committed he would have made a much somber film. Yes, Charlie Chaplin was way ahead of his time in his views and believes. Having a great talent on one hand, he was a complicated man on the other. His admiration for very young girls would certainly get him in big trouble in today's society. But this's a different topic altogether.
This scene is pure genius.
One of the most incredible pieces of satire that was eclipsed by the most brutal period in modern history . K
And when it was made, it was a WARNING. Americans wanted nothing to do with any developing conflicts in Europe.
@@inkyguy Chaplin wasn't even american.
You know, im really glad he was around long enough to see movies with audio, imagine how many great voices were never heard in the silver screen
Genius performance, brilliant acting
03:33 Charlie gets ready for the explosion :)
I think this is the most important scene in the history of cinema.
Genius. He did this when no one else wanted to say Hitler was evil.
The music is the Prelude to Act 1 of Lohengrin by Wagner
Wagner was Hitler's favourite composer
Hitler went to see Lohengrin in theatre at least over a dozen times
@@joaoduarteazevedo2818 say what you want about Hitler, but the man had good taste
@@joaoduarteazevedo2818OUI ! 😢
he bumps up into the air with his ass not once, but 2x lol this sh*t is hilarious
The film is comic genius, and heartbreaking at the end.
Конец скорее наивен
This will always be my favourite scene of all time. I remember being amazed the first time I saw it. ❤️
one of the best scenes in cinema history..choosing Wagner´s "Lohengrin" Overture for this scene was just perfect
I often wonder if Charlie Chaplin chose this piece of music deliberately, knowing it was one of Hitler's favourite pieces.
The other day was my first time seeing this movie. This scene was so brilliant, here I am watching it again on youtube & sending it to my fam. A masterpiece.
What a genius he was. He did that masterpiece with his own money cos none would sponsor.
It's just wonderful! Thanks a lot Charlie for his talent, irony and humor!
and you voted Putin?
@@barfuss2007 Well... There are hundreds of people in power around the world and many thousands of politicians that act like criminals, trampling on the.most basic human rights. Who did you vote for?
@@glennlgg6871 that depends of time period and country. Good and bad is always there a you have to take your own decision. The more power a single person get the more criminal he would be - in most cases. But its clear too see who is dicator and who is not.
One of the most beautiful things Chaplin represented was the character of the buried tyrant Hitler in this movie
2:53..... Это же надо было так виртуозно отработать и так точно прицелиться.....просто гениально... Я бы так не смог, мне пластического мастерства не хватает.
Such a brilliant scene, one of the best in all of film 🎬🎥 The choreography is wonderful!
When it explodes, I feel a short sensation of sadness. It is an interesting balloon...
Yeah and now think of the lives, communities and nations who got that real burst due to his whims.
I think it is meant to represent that such a huge empire can never exist under the direction of a man and sooner or later will disintegrate.
@@somethingirgendwas6924 exactly. This was nothing but a dream of his.
I believe the symbolism of the beach ball world runs very deep. The world is very light when Chapin's character whimsically plays with it because Chaplin's character is devoid of any responsibility for the world. The character's vanity makes the world a plaything rather than a burden.
Charlie Chaplin genius , the speech he does in the end of this film still the most powerful in the history of cinema !!!
The absolute grace of this man
Who could make this role than Chaplin... absolutely stunning 💖💯🔥
Better quality, photography and lightning that most of the current films.
That is a stunning room. The decor is breathtaking
One of my favorite movies of all time!
This was the iconic badass villain role that gave us chills Charlie was a badass as the late great evil dictator and artist his due in the movies
1:26 HUMAN ELEVATOR
😂😂😂
he always has a smile on his face....and make us to forget our worries and problems....
Nobody can't play the rule of dictator like Charlie Chaplin..the best sence of this movie..
Ad lib, I want to be alone with my beautiful blue balloon. NO I KILLED IT!
Chaplin un grande, quizás de las mejores Películas de todos los tiempos
I'm here because my history teacher showed us this scene I laughed so hard lmaoooo 😭
Charlie Chaplin was alerting and warning the world 🌎 about what was going on in Europe during the time this film was being made. The world at large chose to ignore it. 😢 .

Wow! Wait a minute! LoL How did he do that... jump on top of the desk?! This whole scene was fantastic!
Absolutly amazing. As a guy born 10 years after the moon landing its really interesting how this vision of the globe existed so many years before.
what are you talking about? People have known the earth was round for literally thousands of years. Globes have existed for hundreds of years.

👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! What a great genius this man was!
That was pure gold
Isn't that ironic that he's using the X as a fascist symbol. He got so close of a prophecy about the current events!

The way he plays this scene like a child with a toy is so perfect
From poverty and the workhouse, he became the most famous man in the world.
that sound at the end when the globe popped reminded me of those windows computer sounds lmao
My god how smoothly Mr chaplin jumped on the table... Amazing
I kind of think it was reversed film.
@@DS-oi4wl It was still pretty impressive to jump that straight while doing it backwards and downwards.
Chaplin had learned his street craft before getting in to movies at Fred Karno's Circus. He was also a very skilled dancer and ballet performer, alhtough by the time this movie was made he was getting on a bit (he was over 50 when it came out). However, you can still see a lot of the grace and smooth precision in the way that he moves and plays with the world.
I ve once heard thet the "Globe Dance" was born in Chaplin´s Garden during a party when he started to dance with a light waterball and all guests burst into laughter :-) So, why not use it in a movie? Even his "Leave me...I waaant to be aloooone" is "boroughed" from another picture: "Camille" with Greta Garbo in the leading role :-)
Никто не может сравниться с Чаплиным. Это человек очень талантлив. Очень много юмористов, сатириков, но Чаплин один.
How would you say this has aged? Would a modern viewer find it equally as enjoyable as someone back in this times?
I imagine Hitler's face at this point 2:55
Did you know? Charlie Chaplin and Adolf Hitler were born in the same year 1889. Charlie dob is 16 April, adolf's 20 April.
Born just four days apart. Both Aries, driven by ego...capable of anything...giants of their time. One light, one dark. Like flip sides of the same coin.
@People who Use youtube Oh, Chaplin definitely had a healthy ego and Hitler was a coward.
It truly does boggle the mind... such contrast.
And me 19th April
Hitler's like Chaplin's evil twin.
This felt like one of those scenes in the Marx bros. films where all the comedy just stops and they let Harpo play the harp.
🤕🤕✨”You told Harpo to beat me?”✨🤕🤕
0:52 OKAY I can see what Taika Waititi was doing now... hahaha
This man is amazing and watching Robert Downey Jr portraying him was perfect tribute and how he did not get more wins than nominations is a travesty
Such beautiful music. From the opera Lohengrin by Richard Wagner. So befitting.
A bright and inexhaustible star, always alive and present...

Hallo zusammen, als junger Marokkaner 🇲🇦, der sich für allgemeine Kultur interessiert, teile ich mit Ihnen einige Zusammenfassungen und Ideen als allgemeine Kultur über den berühmten Komiker Charlie Chaplin, der sich durch seine Stummkomödie auszeichnete, frei von Künstlichkeit und nah an der Herz. Seine Gesichtszüge waren immer traurig und er konnte die Welt zum Lachen bringen. Die Menschen in einer Zeit kannten Kriege, Klassenungleichheit, Armut und die Probleme des 20. Jahrhunderts, und Charlie hatte Sprüche und rührende Worte, darunter (wenn Sie... konnte nicht über den gleichen Witz lachen, warum solltest du wegen der gleichen Sorge zurückgehen und trauern und weinen) und auch (ich gehe im Regen, damit niemand meine Tränen sehen kann) und unter den Menschen erkannte er Einstein mit ihrem Witz , sind Charlie Chaplin und Nikola Tesla, und ich möchte abschließend sagen, dass Charlie in den vergangenen Jahren als sehr professioneller Komiker die Welt unterhalten hat
This is pure!! I’m in absolute awe..
