  • I admint that the first time i saw this video i cry. as well i was happy, because i knew i can do better. It shouldn not set a moment of happyness but a standar for decitions.

  • This should be Ron Paul`s music in every political ad. Ron Paul 2012!

  • This is one of the top ten flicks of all time and he got such shit at the time for making it.

  • Amazing speech and well arranged with the TIME song. Cool!

  • I almost cried...

  • The most true speech I have ever heard in my life.

  • This speech should be in every school , Chaplin should have a day for him with this speech diffused everywhere in the world .

    THIS IS IMPORTANT , for our generation , for the next and so on.

    One day the world will change , it's up to us , humanity .

    "Be the change you want to see in the world"

  • Big Up's on the encode! Nice!

  • One of the greats that this earth had to offer T_T

  • GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!!!!

  • Down with SOPA!

  • I watch this and each time i cry

  • 7 people are freemason members

  • you know its good when you get chills down your back

  • Some people are ready, may they begin.. I have made a start, but the others think I am an alien. I understand why and I am patient, until they some day turn to what Chaplin said. I really really believe the world will change...

  • What's the soundtrack behind the speech?

  • @SeppLainer The song is "Time" by Hans Zimmer from the "Inception" soundtrack.

  • @MrTingfod

    thanks, I saw it at the end of the video...silly me.

  • @SeppLainer Lol, no problem

  • Great worsd, from a great Man, a great Actor, he will live for ever in our hearts.

  • why was this not required to read or watch when i was in school if this was mandatory life might be different

  • a mission statement for the world

  • This is Hitlers speach right?

  • @RainbowIntrvention Charlie Chaplin

  • @RainbowIntrvention wow.... really? You think Hitler would say this?

  • thats not the real hitler

  • Nice version, like the high res, the closer cropping and the edit at the end... only problem is the lipsynch is totally off... a slight adjustment there and it'd be perfect!

  • thank you. great remix.

  • I discovered this yesterday and have watched it several times already. At least 10 times, I think I will continue watching this until his message is clear and I can recite it to help me remember what I need to do and motivate myself.

  • @MrLivePositive8 Smart good sir.

  • Maybe this is what was shared across north Africa earlier this year. Simply Incredible, and so fitting even with the current protests in Russia!

  • Inspiration

  • This speech made my day!!!

  • Its funny to think how he regrets making this speech. When he learned what the Germans truly did he was horrified and aghast as you must know this was satire... and satirizing one of the worst regimes in human exsistence

  • I'm watching this nearly every day and every time it gives me an incredible feeling. This is the greatest speech ever and the music makes it even more awesome.

  • Amazing.As much important in today's world as it was back when it was made.

  • What about the animals... everyone forgets the animals that we abuse for our own profit and benefit...

  • Best speech on earth, rly.

  • Love this old Propaganda films... Demokracy for the Win! Notthing is ever better that that!... oh wait demokracy has brought us in this future it is right now ... well fuck this im going to be a diktator!

  • @DerFreiegedanke Democracy or Communism or even Fascism did not bring ruin to the world. Man brought us here. The people we put in power did not do what was good for us, they did what made them popular. They did not worry about how to better the world you lived in, they worried about securing their own power. Do not blame democracy. Blame the people who deceived. Who lied. Blame the people who looked the other way as our freedom was stolen, as our lives were destroyed

  • @666makes1happydevil so i can blame all Democracy politikans?

  • @DerFreiegedanke You can blame all politicians. You dont have to be in government to be a politician, and you dont have to be a politician to be in government. My personal definition of Politician (that I hope catches on) is someone who utilizes the government to manipulate, deceive and control the people. There are people in your government who want to help you, dont mistakenly place your anger there. There are people out of government who want to screw you. Dont forget them.

  • @666makes1happydevil Yeah but the goverment must to be weak spined to let controle themself from outer state, so i can also blame the Politikans for that. they always put there well being infront of the well being of thier state and citizen , whitch in my oppinion is totaly shameful and should be punished with a bullet in the neck!

  • @DerFreiegedanke

    Nietzsche would be proud of you!

  • ♥him ♥this speech

  • Oh my god, this is the most moving speech I've ever heard.

  • And as the video concludes, an ad appears telling me to help Barack Obama. LMAO

  • This video would be perfect to send everyone if it contained clips of TSA, current war photos, Banks' CEOs, etc.

  • This speech needs to be played at every shcool, workplace, home, theatre, etc.

    If everyone listened to this at least once a day, I swear we would all be less bigoted and hostile towards each other.

  • goose pimples :)

    

  • If everyone listen this at the same time, the world would be a good place for 3 minutes 56 seconds.

  • Part of me thinks that this movie should be remade, shot for shot, with Hans Zimmer doing the music...Possibly have Colin firth portray this part since he did so well with The King's Speech.

  • This speech could have been delivered in the Roman senate, or in the Acropolis centuries before that, give or take a word ot two, of course.

    Sadly, many are still enslaved, but because they drive to work, and have flatscreen tv's, they think they're free, and rich even. History ended a long time ago...but this clip will always be fantastic.

  • my friend loves the army, and when i told him about this speech he was furious because chaplin accused them. What should i tell him to make him change his mind?

  • @JONIMASAKIS

    No offense towards your friend, but if that's what he got fom this, then he obviously wasn't paying attention, or heard only what he wanted to hear. In that segment when The Dictator (Charlie Chaplin) speaks directly to the solders, he clearly says-

    "Soldiers, don't give your self to brutes. Men who despise you...etc."

    If he doesn't understand after that, then just smile, tell him he's right, and go about your day.

  • @CyclopsRevolution One of my favorite quotes: "just because you may not be leading the way, does not mean you shouldn't know what it is". Its my interpretation that Chaplin is not saying the army and discipline is evil, he is saying that blind following is. Your friend should take no offense to this if his commander would never throw his or any enemy's life away on a fluke or for selfish reasons, only if his commander revels in power and abuses it.

  • @CyclopsRevolution In a military fashion, this does not mean leniency or even friendship, it just means the commander should train you to survive your battles, and win them. You should be willing to die in battle because you know that the man who put you there KNOWS your value and has accurately judged cause that you both serve worth the sacrifice you have made. Anything less is a brute, a machine man, not worth the sacrifice of your freedom, life, and happiness to serve his cause

  • @brianmahayie

    Excellent quote! Also Brian, you have grasped the concept of this video perfectly.

  • @JONIMASAKIS Chaplin isn't downing or accusing the army of anything, he's talking about the corrupt leadership.

  • @JONIMASAKIS Yes you friend missed the point, or point of view. Chaplin is condemning the structure that is in control and has bastardized what it means to fight for your country. He is saying these leaders/elite and using them as pawns.

  • @JONIMASAKIS

    Anyone who is trying to understand this video, the character he is representing here is a "Hitler Type" dictator. Think about what Hitler did (genocide), and in the segment where he speaks to the troops about "Giving yourself to brutes" he speaking against soldiers mindlessly following, fighting and giving their lives for a leader or country that commits such atrocities. He even says it at the end of that segment, "soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty."

  • @JONIMASAKIS he wasn't agree at soldiers, just those supporting an unjust cause.

  • @JONIMASAKIS They reason he got angry is due to him now seeing the truth but being stuck. You smash open someones eyes and its alot to take in especially when you realise you are part of this

  • @JONIMASAKIS Φιλε μου επειδη ειδα οτι εισαι Ελληνας θα σου δωσω την δικη μου απαντηση στα ελληνικα.Πραγματικα ο λογος του Τσαρλι ειναι συγκινητικος και λεει τα παντα σωστα.Ομως πρεπει να καταλαβουμε κατι,οι ανθρωποι δεν ειναι ακομα ετοιμοι για να φτιαξουν εναν τετοιο κοσμο.

  • @JONIMASAKIS (συνεχεια)Ριχνουμε το φταιξιμο σε αυτους που μας κυβερνανε αλλα δεν βλεπουμε οτι και εμεις οι ιδιοι φταιμε.Μακαρι καποτε να γινουν ολα αυτα αλλα πραγματικα δεν ξερω αν θα γινει ποτε κατι τετοιο.Πρεπει να ειμαστε σε ενα επιπεδο που ουτε καν εχουμε φανταστει.Οσον αφορα τον στρατο,και εγω το αγαπαω αλλα συγκινουμαι και μενω αναυδος απο τα λογια.Ο φιλος σου λογικα δεν βλεπει τι νοημα του βιντεο.Ο Τσαπλιν δεν στοχοποιει τους στρατιωτικους αλλα μιλαει σε ολους μας.

  • @panos4815162342 μερικοι ομως ειναι, ας ξεκινισουν λοιπον.... Εχω ειδη ξεκινισει να κανω μια μικρη αρχη, και οι υπολοιποι με βλεπουν σαν αγνωστο. Βεβαια καταλαβαινω τον λογο, και κανω υπομονη, πιστευοντας καποια στιγμη θα αλλαξουν..

  • I tweeted to as much news stations and anchors I could remember. Hope it gets shown on the news; the best wake up call if i ever heard one.

  • 4 people are machine men with machine minds ... sad, isn't it!?

  • How do we get this to CNN and other news networks and TV formats? How do we spread this for people to hear?!?

  • It's not just a great speech, everyone should live by these words.

  • The look in his eyes at the end is heartbreaking.

  • oh my god

  • If only the whole world got to hear this, then maybe, just maybe we would have peace...

  • best sound quality ive seen so far...doesnt really matter for something like this. this doesnt need video quality.

  • The 4 dislikes are Nazis

    

  • R.I.P Charlie Chaplin, you brilliant human !

  • And this speech changed me

  • I love this speech

  • @nammikrans maybe they are machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts!

  • incredible. absolutely beautiful and 100% true.

  • I watch this video every morning to prepare myself for the world outside.

  • Inception music was a great pick.

  • bravo mr chaplin

  • i get chills watching this everytime

  • attn: fucks. this is about EVERYBODY doing their own part to make the world better. so stop focusing on the part where he speaks to the soldiers . it is an important part of the speech its not what its all about. so mr. joe cool war sucks fuck the government . suck it. easy. and go recycle or something.

  • How can this video have any dislikes? I don't want to be on of those "X people must be Y" but come on! how can their be dislikes to this, it applies to every ideology, left and right, every religion, every everything. This video...this video sums up everything about humanity. and yet people find a way to dislike THIS! I am honestly stunned by this.

  • @killerslick Three of the 1% watched this

  • @Moreofthesamez I'm part of the 1% and I pressed like and favorite. The wealthy are not all evil. The people who disliked this are simply stupid.

  • @killerslick well probably they dont like hans zimmers music :)

  • @killerslick

    Those 5 people were tyrannic dictators somewhere... probably yelling at their mothers "MAKE THY FUHRER MIEN SANDWEICH!"

  • @killerslick Maybe they don't like the music. Wait, no, you can't dislike this music either...

  • Beautiful!

  • lol nice

  • lol

  • Great Video!

  • YES!!!!!!!

  • This will go viral.

  • You are MEN.

  • Lawl, this has nothing on the other one with music. Nice try.

  • This is why we should love. This is why we should care. This is why there are good people out there, who sacrifice everything for us. Give your respect to our soldiers, who live and die for us, regardless of what THEY lose from it. They stand by freedom and democracy to fight for them, and do what they feel is RIGHT.

  • He captures Hitler's diction so well, and yet he is speaking the truth, not lies. It is so powerful and yet so surreal.

  • His last facial expression makes me so sad. Every time I watch this, the sudden despair in his eyes gives me this feeling that he knows of what will come in the future and how everything he spoke against becomes true.

  • A speech that still is true to this day!

  • Amen to that bro. Your echo still sounds, even today. Blinded hearts can't hark this.

  • so true and current...

    i feel like crying..it's honestly the best and most emotional speech i have ever heard in my young life !!

    i hope more people would live these values he talks of..

  • I have said many similar things...but who will listen to a crpple....lol...but I continue to shout into the wind, and if only one human hears, and is moved to act, then I consider myself successful! I know I have touched at least one soul, so the rest is gravy....still I will live my life, as much as an example as I can, and try to BE THE CHANGE!!!!

  • "You people are the real thing!"

    Howard Beale, Network (1976)

  • A man ahead of his time.An underrated genius indeed

  • its funny how accurate this speech is now but when you read about him you find out that he wishes he hadn't made the speech and that he didnt even no the extent of the nazis evil which he was making a satire of.

  • God I can feel him breaking the fourth wall. He wasn't addressing soldiers in a film, he addressed all of the world torn apart by a war at the time of this film's release. simply incredible.

  • tingles all that i feel are tingles.

  • Such a moving speech. I cried when I first heard it.

  • A speech that is over half a century old, with words that are timeless. This should be played for the world to hear. This simple speech provides the solutions for all the suffering and trouble our world is suffering today.

  • If only enough people realized that very power they have...

    I would love for this to be played in front of billions. If only I could arrange for it to happen.

  • see the dislike bar? me either

  • A man who spends his career becoming famous by reaching out to us in silence; in the end, leaves us all silenced with his voice. Amazing!

  • Holy shit. Goosebumps, man. So many.

  • I cry everytime.

  • 71 Years, 71 YEARS!? AND DO WE LEARN ANYTHING!? LOOK AROUND YOU! GREED AND CORRUPTION IS DESTROYING OUR WORLD! WE STAND ALL DIVIDED! IT IS EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF! THIS MODERN WORLD IS BEING BUILD ON GREED! AND BY GREED THIS MODERN WORLD SHALL FALL! IN 71 LONG YEARS! WE LEARN NOTHING!

  • @Doctor699 but there is also the sparks of light within the darkness that gives us hope. We must all have hope and the will for change. We must not be discouraged.

  • I find it sad that this speech is timeless. 70 years later and things have not changed all that much.

  • There's one thing I can't forget from this is "You don't hate, only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural" ....

  • ANONYMOUS !

  • what is the music? I want to have it

  • @ravaneli55 "Time" by Hans Zimmer

  • why has this only got 12k veiws?

  • @Karmaffix because all the views are under the greatest speech ever given

  • "My name is Charlie Chaplin, i don't speak much. But when i do, i give the greatest speech of all time".

  • Just an amazing speech....

  • someone did the Martin Luthor King Jr "i have a dream" speech with this music playing in background but it got removed for copyright infringment. and it was great too the way it was edited.

  • epic brilliance

  • If Charlie were alive, he'd support OWS.

  • this is such a good combo..i don't think any other song can match up to this speech..

  • wow you cut the ending off lame sir very lame

  • @MrPapapineapple

    I'm actually quite fond of the ending that I edited out, however the true speech ended at "Unite" in my opinion. Plus for those who are truly inspired to watch the film, then they get the added bonus of seeing the ending. You gotta admit, it is quite dramatic this way.

  • I see a OWS commercial, and I like it.

  • What a great matchup with film and music! Great work!

  • we condemn those who have so obviously succumbed to greed and apathy yet there are all too few who would refuse the opportunities that were offered them.

    If you were offered a lifetime of extravagance and opulence, an opportunity to prove your autonomy and your resolve and the knowledge that you and your family would never go without in exchange for the suffering of one soul, would you?

    It is easier, I guess to condemn that which we no we cannot be than that which we are.

  • @mattycakes13 I would never do that for myself, but would every time for my children.

  • Charlie Chaplin would win my vote any day had he were to run for president with this speech. :D

  • Where's the love button?!

  • My computer isn't very good at watching 1080p videos, and it takes quite a bit to fully load. But some videos, a very select few, are worth it.

  • I cant stop watching this. Its amazing.

  • Who disliked this?

    Amazing!  Thank you so much for sharing!

  • straight out sick. such a motivating speech.

  • Holy fucking shit. Like... I... I... Holy fucking shit.

  • This video gives me so many feels.

  • If i use the NEW WORLD ORDER term, it would definitly have a different meaning behind it..My meaning of NWO would be exactly what the 99% percent want..Freedom, justice, no taxes, no debt, no banksters, no more rothschild and every other elite ruining our precious time on earth ...if you think about it, those who do not fight will suffer and never get to know the true meaning on why we were brought here on earth in the 21st century ..

  • thumbs up for the hitler style mustache lol ..the style of the 40's ?

    by the way, my comment has nothing to do with racism ...

    if you are offended well forgive me and forget...

  • @licshot9591 You definitely do not know about the origin of this speech. Please do some research next time before posting such a statement.

  • see you in new york.

  • Oh, God... I just got goosebumps.

  • Comment removed

  • this version is sooo much better watch?v=DXCONIKJ0Hk

  • @noseyparka13

    it says 'removed by the user' – ??

  • @alisonappleby30 thats because the user removed it haha

  • Holy sh- this can be completely compared to the Half Life series.

    Also; I listen to this every day, and it's one of the best things that have ever come from youtube. Thanks for sharing.

  • It's like everytime I hear it I hear something new and genius that I didn't hear before. Love it.

  • I got tears in my eyes now.

  • Cant like this video enough

  • Even though this movie came out in 1940, Charlie Chaplin's speech still applies today. This just goes to show how truly timeless it is.

  • @Dark85Knight I dont want it to be timeless,I dont want to continue living in this "passing of greed" which doesn`t seem to pass. I truly hope Occupy the world succeeds. support from Ireland
