Chaplin's Message is still valid!

[azraelthelunatic]

I wish music spoke lyrics like this. I want this as a song.

[Prettylittlenuisance]

This was always one of my favorite monologues in a movie, it's just Charlie speaking to whomever would listen. Unfortunate at the time no one understood what he was trying to say in this film. So common place now to speak out about world issues, very risky then. Charlie was a legend.

[zloidz]

He's a wise man, a true genius.

[TDKinTOKYO]

Hope.

[jhnm156]

Favorite remix of this scene!

[moonshadowcastle]

I think to much and feel too little!

[jewelgirl23]

Thank you for posting this. I know its corny to say - but I have hope because people like you exist and make something positive to watch.

[RysioACF]

This is the greatest video on YouTube

[isJonneh]

I'm proud to be human above everything else.

[SocialistCatgirl]

His message is indeed still needed. It's needed more than ever in times such as these. And if the love and goodness that he speaks of is truly absent from human hearts, let it be inserted. I believe in humanity, I love humanity. I pray that this love is warranted, and that my faith in my species is not the musing of a naive fool.

[RDSBlackstriker]

Sir, you are a wise man.

[THEREALBUDDHADRAGON]

This is needed from us MORE THAN EVER!!!! 2011 now & we are still not waking up to the Corruption!! The Greed!!! The Killing!! The Lying!!!! The Cheating!! The Criminal System that you & I live in. It belongs to all of us not just the few. Especially not just for the global business corporations that control our governments for their own profit & rapage of us & of the earth!! What a guy Mr Chaplin Legend!!!

[crystoll]

This was beautiful

[thenamesbuddha]

Very effective speech..

Amazing. Simply amazing.

THESE are videos people should watch...

[PPForya80]

@thenamesbuddha

Amen. If I ever had the right to agree to something, let it be used on you sir. I agree. This video shows of compassion in a great monologue that everyone should hear rather than the trash of the world today. All we know of "great" poetry or passion comes from some guy in a booth speaking about how bad he wants money and women. I'm 19, I'm not really intelligent. But I love a good, passionate speech. It inspires me, if I'm one in a generation of idiots then one is enough.

[hollywoodcuz]

ever since man was separated due to building the tower of babel - we have yet to come back together as one. perhaps that was the purpose (a test to see if we could) or perhaps even more sadly it was not. Respect where respect is due. My respect to you Mr. Chaplin

[asaccin]

Song is Lasses Shit - Chaplin Snakker. I got a copy from Geniusmp3.

[tehb4sstard]

does anyone know the song just like it is in the video!? whats the name!?

[asaccin]

@tehb4sstard Song is Lasses Shit - Chaplin Snakker. I got a copy from Geniusmp3.

[Robstailey]

i disagree with the last bit

[anomoly314]

This is great! It would have been perfect if there were subtitles, the music was a little loud at times.

[SpectralSounds]

Interesting remix of "Lay Lady Lay" by Bob Dylan...

[duffy23]

@SpectralSounds Actually, the strings that you hear is from the movie, 20 years before Bob Dylan did Lay Lady Lay.

[jasiothemity]

@duffy23 This made me really sad; people will see this on Youtube but rarely do they do anything.

[brianenewton75]

@SpectralSounds oh how I love a fail : ) Thanks! lol

[alexgeekcouk]

reminds me of Carl Sagan

[ohgreatwiseone]

That was brilliant and very moving. Love the music. Even if you take out a beleif in god you'd still be left with all the noble sentiment. The morality of western secular society evolved from christian morality and john lennons Imagine is very much like charlies speach.

[JackJaw7288]

What the fuck is with the soundtrack? Despite what other viewers seem to think, in my opinion it totally takes away from the scene, if anything as a result of too high a volume. This is one of the most fucking obnoxious trends on Youtube.

[kcerdb]

@JackJaw7288 Exactly what I was thinking.

[aegisgfx]

What a voice, this man was a master actor and a giant of his generation.

[Skone117]

I dont get it

[mindbond]

@Skone117

If you don't understand this monologue then I question your humanity.

[Skone117]

@mindbond

Yup Im not human, im from planet neptune.

[mindbond]

@Skone117

I never did like the Neptunians.

[jcpeace3]

A truly astonishing and inspirational speech and moving music! What a Dynamic Duo! The entire monologue (as found in the 4:55 video in the suggestions column) is is even more profound and contains a reference from Luke 17:21 where Jesus states that 'the Kingdom of God is within you' and further makes reference to creating a world where science and progress can lead to everyone's happiness! Amen, the day when Heaven will truly be on Earth!

[pardingo]

Who are the 7 fucks who actually pressed the dislike button on this?

[NiccKovacs]

thank you for reuploading this masterpiece of lasse! charlies speech combined with his music, just perfect!

[lickmyfishplz]

The same part that really stuck with me as well. Less thinking more feeling. Live.

[QQBistro]

it's an awesome message, but you didn't have to focus on religion on the description. that's not what chaplin was talking about, he was talking about general love and stuff.

[Eric19451945]

Genius !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tollerRanz]

the title says it all!..

[TDKinTOKYO]

Dude, your caption is nearly better than Chaplin and Lasse combined! Thank you!

[skatingasian13]

I wouldn't say it's valid... it's sound :)

[qwasto]

Whether we live 100 years from now, this message is undeniably wise and true. Hopefully humanity can learn from this

[Punkgurly15]

Gives me goosebumbs every time..amazing

[wildaztec]

I've played this 30 times over the last year. Aaah, it is good to listen to illuminated men like Chaplin.

[ya7akim]

is it only me or does the music actually fit these beautiful speech

btw good job whoever did n matched the music with this masterpiece

[mastershake1000]

Lasse Gjertsen

[BleedingxBliss]

lasse gjertsen. if you go to his channel and find his channel, lassegg, and find 'amateur', he has a link to his blog. there should be a music player of all his music. it's truly brilli!

[junglemassivez]

Very smooth

[gayspoon]

lay lady lay

[FreeIndividua]

Give me the human being who will not feel respect through this scripted speech.I believe Charley put this on movie like message to people. Good soul

[maxi36440529]

dear god, that was awesome.

it nearly made me cry x)

[crankthetoto]

elijah wood could play him in a bio movie

[OK2BCK]

i hope it sarcasm

[TheLittleFelloow]

Chaplin Snakker = Chaplin Talks

[BrianfromFE]

Chaplin wrote all the dialogue as well as the music. He really was the creative force behind all his movies.

[ValiedTraxx]

it's realy good!!

[ywiiiiii]

thank you

[electrogonmza]

la musica es muy similar a Bob Dylan - Lay lady lay

[mkrtown]

I like the music. But, I don't see the point in smothering a good, well written, monologue with it. Creativity is originality. Taking, (stealing) from someone's good, if not great work, is far from creativity. It's a sign of very little talent. It's a sign of cheapness.

[zvuk]

You are a nice example of hatefull person. You can see only someone stealing video. Why dont you see Charlie Chaplins art work instead? Answer that yourself.

[whizzvid]

oh be quiet already. no one really cares if you didn't like the song. make your own video if you know talent and whats "not cheap". its a three minute youtube video for goodness sake. why not take this and go view the whole Chaplin movie now? instead you'd rather pick on the guy showcasing this awesome clip. broaden your mind and stop nagging so much.

[mkrtown]

If no one cares what I think, fine. But obviously you care enough to reply to my comment. Just like TV. If you don't like what your watching or hearing, change the channel. The whole point of making comments on videos is to express our opinions, whether we agree with each other or not. To cut someone down for their freedom to speak IS FACIST. I don't agree with you, and you don't agree with me. That, my friend is freedom. Maybe you need to broaden your mind.

[spuddeer60606]

the really sad thing is, things are only getting worse. everyone who knows has no way of speaking out and doing something about it. unless we all unite!

[REJ0INDER]

Forget Ism's. Ism's are what got us into this mess. Capitalism. Socialism. Fascism. Communism. You missed the message. It was a call to the hearts of men. It was a plea to their reason. Not to governments. They are Ism's. Built upon power, by those hungry for power. Covetous and greedy. But to individuals. The power belongs to us, as individuals, you and me, not to a bureaucracy. Not to greedy, covetous men drunk upon power and control and blood. That was the message.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

you forgot about islamism AND obamunism!

[leppy111]

Ok, mixed market then- Pure Capitalism is no good - Pure Socialism is no good- but a mix seems to encourage a stable economy. weapons and war are the chief consumer of taxes. It would be a different world without them.

[theBenenator]

silent chas

[leppy111]

Socialism is the only way- throw out the money changers

[Theycallmetomu]

Meh, wouldn't really work that way. Socialism has its pros and cons, but in the end, you'd have to implement such a program, and to do so would require someone to be doing the implementing. I'm no lasse faire capitalist (that's just ridiculous) but I do believe that the system works a lot better if we don't end up unintentionally racking up the transaction costs for everything left and right.

[scuttassassin]

that was powerfull and moving bravo

[KanYe1337]

You are right. I am that unhappy about my life that all I have left is poison in my heart. Hate and greed are the only two things still have.

[7xxx8]

it's the mightest speech in human history, I feel

[Matita88]

I'm gonna start every day with this vid.

Love it.. We think too mutch and feel to little!

[panictactics]

Thank you, loser.

[terga1]

What's so wrong about comunists...u americans have got in 2 your heads that comunists are ''jewy''...just tell me 1 reason why

[xxmonickkkkaxx]

Maybe because the zionists are doing the same thing to the United States that they did to Russia.

[tuerrespendejo]

terga1: by means of the world proletariat we will triumph and will create the Wordly Soviet Socialist Republic with capital in Jerusalem and we will own all the riches of the nations so that the prophecies of our holy prophets of Talmud be fulfilled. Karl Marx

[Theycallmetomu]

Meh, Communism has failed throughout the 20th century. Even China has basically ceased to be communist (and now is just a totalitarian government that is adding more and more free market enterprise without managing to increase the freedom of the people). That's not to say capitalism isn't perfect, and that some of the things Marx said didn't have merit, but the way of going about doing it has basically been proven wholely incorrect-at least when done on such a large scale.

[rythe]

its about god damn time someone said that!!! im not a communist in any way but it has good points i just think people are so brainwashed they don't understand it in canada we learn about it and its not in a positive nor a negative light its neutral all political structures are flawed and some dont work for certain countries for example, canada isn't completely democratic it's a mixture of everything really not a lot of ppl know that its got bits and pieces of socialism in there

[terga1]

Thank you

[Typowned]

That was wonderful. Thanks for uploading this. :)

[wheeljak]

A truly great monologue. Chaplin finally opens his mouth, and pure poetry comes out. The background music you added makes it even more inspirational. Great stuff.

[BleedingxBliss]

yeh, it's by lasse gjertsen.

killer norweigian.

[DJRapthor]

@wheeljak Chaplin was an ACTOR! He spoke what he was told to speak! He did not make up his mind on these things as shown. It was the script writer! Do not glorify single individuals! Otherwise you become sheep.

[RossLGould]

@DJRapthor

Maybe you should read the credits to the film. Not only was Charlie Chaplin the lead actor of "The Great Dictator", but he was also the writer and director.

[DJRapthor]

@RossLGould OK, nevermind then.

[brianenewton75]

@DJRapthor More fail, please, DJ! LOL There is nothing in this world so sweet as a loudmouth popping off and having no idea what he's talking about. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[duffy23]

@DJRapthor Sorry DJ, but Chaplin , not only acted in this movie, not only did he write the music and perform it, not only did he direct it, Charlie Chaplin wrote it. His words, he deserves the praise.

[bloodypepper]

@wheeljak music overlay is by lasse gjertsen :)

[soulfulsongbyrd]

A M A Z I N G!

[jcannel]

This clip is brillant!!

it sums up everything chaplin stood for. If only all of us could stand up for the same.

[mokaey]

very good!!!!

[AssilemakaMelissa]

I got goosebumps! It is like someone saw into the future and saw Ralph Nader!

[72Larsson]

The things he says..only if we coul´d make the things he says to a realtity... I´ts our turn now! We who was brought up and are young now who is brought up in the 70s 80s and 90s.. we are old enough to change things! We can make thing to change for our children to come.... Lets build up a generation of peace...

[jamialonnes]

lol hitler was a big noob

[ThexKillerx]

Oh man! I Love this video!!

you are not machine!! ur men! u.u

[Matita88]

I'm sorry..

The look on his face is so sad.. I wish we all could think this way

[SharpFinale]

I wish he was here right now

[mnhz]

I can stop watching it over and over again!

[richardsidler]

and the more we wish it the further it recedes.

[GGXXD1]

Probably the best video on youtube.

[NiccKovacs]

Its the best Video on Youtube! Its so deep and beautiful. Very impressive.

[filmguru]

Wow... that was... deep. No jokes here, that was spot on.

[rsensorat3]

Ahh Charlie!

We think too much and feel too little.

Thanks for the post duffy23.

[gotalittlecaptain]

great movie

[Mozinator]

Its Charlie Chaplin doing a parody of Hitler.

[JensonBUTTONS]

Agreed Duffy, Agreed.

[frippscourt]

great...

[tvdvd8877]

are this hitler?

[duffy23]

It's a parody of Hitler.

[dedeironfist]

did hitler really say this i mean this is beautifal !!

[roddyvh]

actually, this is Chaplin in 1940, when Hitler was talking in exact the opposite way.

Great video duffy23, it's a magical mix. Also, a lot of brilliantness at 1:46 - 1:47 :) Thanks!

[dedeironfist]

what do ya mean they thought he was like this at one point?

[duffy23]

You must watch the Great Dictator to understand it all.

[dedeironfist]

are u saying...that hitler was a good man?idont get it?

[EttuBrute7]

LOL! no if you look back in history it shows that the german people loved hitler HE promised them all money and to make germany powerful, while in Chaplin saw through his lies and made fun of hitler while everyone ostrisized Chaplin and about 1940 Chaplins message became clear that Chaplin was right all along. Really interesting man, great movie

[jkajewski]

@tvdvd8877 

[gayspoon]

this song sounds like: bob dylan - lay lady lay

[mokaey]

very true...

[frisianmouve]

the music makes it only more beautiful. thank you duffy23 and lasse.

[hevnervals]

Whats the name of the soundtrack?

[duffy23]

Chaplin Snakker by Lasse Gjertsen.

[Bulgur92]

"We think to much, we feel to little"

true

[zluvu4ever]

This is the most inspirational speech I have ever head! Thank you!

[ledkevlin]

At this moment i am in love with how you think cause its like reading this is like someone was in my head and wrote it down

[TheLittleFelloow]

People didn't understand these words of Chaplin.. They didn't understand.

They thought he was a communist..

He wanted to help.. Make a change. But no.

[mellowyells]

dude there was a hammer and sickle in the opening

[StingrayMM20]

I wouldn't even have had to watch the video, I just read the text next to it.

At 1:40... That moment was so damn intense, I almost started crying. And I don't cry easily. I love this movie. And you gave it a even more meaningful frame.

I'm stunned, actually.

[yzorg]

im just amazed.....

[TheLittleFelloow]

i love the end

Simply excellent, well done.

[adr3nalinepwn]

wait a minute i thought hitler died!

[IVI4V3R1CK]

No matter how many times I watch this speech I tear up...  You just took it to an all new level. Well done, and hopefully the 5,000+ views will spread this to another 10,000 and so on and so forth

[Herkkis]

lol

[denniandrew2002]

sure we all love this video, but how many of us are really going to live by it?

[duffy23]

I have personally taken a vow to be better and not to lash out at people, just to be plain nice.

[adr3nalinepwn]

ok???

[jokerkiwi]

I would just say that human response-ability begins only with yourself & your own actions-- there are no excuses to not avoid one's own response-ability (though this is a constant temptation for everyone & many succumb to it). More is done wrong not by evil, but by allowing evil to continue unimpeded. Its up to each individual.

"Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed." ~ Vaclav Havel

[jokerkiwi]

p.s. that was meant to be a reply to denniandrew2002's question (and BTW) which is a good one).

[3ras3d]

i dont get it but peAce is life love life love peace why do people hate on other people let people be who they want see who they want do what they want we.....HIPPIE LIFE....

[frosty669]

[bjornar92]

Amazing. love it

[greencode80]

Soo great.

[castsxaxshadow]

[jokerkiwi]

I love it! Put it as my #1 favourite!  Thanks for putting this up!

Amazing, great video.

[Silyeah0o]

I liked the way it's put pressure on the word when Chaplin says: ".. you're MEN!" and "We think too much and feel too little.."

like an echo.. <3

[Silyeah0o]

Great!

It's cool how the voices matches in the song :D

[mewlink64]

Great video, song, and message.

[Ylvala]

if politicians could say things like that.

Great video!
