The Great Dictator- Globe Scene

[ShadowPhantomKnight]

Charlie Chaplin must have needed a lot of practice for this scene!

[nocnafuria57]

The great DICKtator

[MyLifeAsLouis]

I want that globe!

[Christhefireshark]

Before "So Ronery," another misunderstood dictator had a tender musical moment.

[yoyoEJ]

best laugh/cackle ever 

[timewzrd3]

When need a good leader for a good world.

[Flippypeace]

Oh i love Charlie so much!! hes a pure genius! the weird thing about this is that im 12!! XP

[KBeOKEH]

Brilliant entertainer, brilliant man!

[dhog41]

Brilliant symbolism. Love this film.

[Missferefefe]

genio

[21Ethan300]

I think Chaplin wrote this before Hitler even came to power. Like a warning of would happen if nobody stopped him, but nobody did.

[iFlameGirl]

@21Ethan300 Yeah, and then someone gave it to Hitler to watch. He apparently watched it by himself twice and found absolutely no humor in it and put Chaplin on some list of people he wanted dead.

Guess he didn't see the premonitions and warnings in it...

[GroobyPL92]

@21Ethan300 This movie is from 1940 year so Hitler was in the lead before it for a couple of years.

[21Ethan300]

@GroobyPL92 Oh. I'm an idiot.

[grayhairs519]

For some odd reason, I cannot express words to say why this scene is so beautiful! Anyone out there would like to help me with this? :)

[LadyTwentySeven]

Spectacular. Just that.

[iFlameGirl]

I hate to sound completely stupid, but I've never understood why this scene is always called brilliant or amazing? Could someone please explain?

[MsEranK]

@iFlameGirl @iFlameGirl well, apart being beautiful, it's also very interesting: you have charlie chaplin who is acting as Hitler, and playing with a ballon representing the word, means that he is PLAYING with the word: you have a dictator who flips, or shoot the "word", he can do anything he wants with it, every thing is under his control. This is in fact a representation of what dictator did/do: they have power over the word and play with it

In the end, by playing with the word, he destroys it

[charleshdowns]

Genius.

[lumicrom50]

Am putea comenta indelung acest moment si il caut de luni de zile rideti copiii,rideti femei si barbati pina puteti !S/a nascut un nou hitlar ne vazut necunoscut!Romania!!!

[ThePivotsXXD]

2:07 Like a Boss!

[AtlantisKingdomTV]

0:49 Insane Chaplin (WHA HA HA HA HA HA HA)

[AtlantisKingdomTV]

I LOVE THE SONG AND SCENE TOO

[Marshalsify]

Charles Chaplin is not only the worst comedic actor ever! But his voice wasn't vocal coached and he's not funny at all.

[Thomas120499]

Sieg heil!

[TinaLjubljanska]

Ahaha, the best!

[toskoramone]

It's really interesting to see how this same piece (The Prelude to the First Act of Lohengrin, by Richard Wagner, Hitler's favorite composer) is used both here and during the speech. It's kind of like he's saying that the beauty of the piece doesn't die, is untainted, just like the beauty of the idea that lured people into believing Hitler, the people who were led astray. That's the point of the whole speech, and the film as well, i think.

[coolveda]

Heil🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪✋✋✋✋✋✋✋👨👨👨­👨👨👨

[NovembersRevenge]

i wonder how much of this hitler watched lol!

[Zarathustra799]

@NovembersRevenge

Hitler supposedly watched it twice. He must've liked it!

[UntrueLove]

1:56 I wish he'd look at me that way, haha! I loooove Charlie:) Only Chaplin could survive the transition from silent to sound. Too bad this film ended up being such a controversy - it needs to be better known!

[XTainiconAnTainivanX]

I believe hitler thought is movie was hysterical :)

[Tamerman1000]

genius

[XxFugufishXx]

This may very well be the funniest movie I've seen in my life.

[elkwolf]

I saw this movie for the first time yesterday with my girlfriend and during this scene we both laughed so hard until we started crying. Imagining Hitler watching this scene almost made me throw up from laughter.

[aleSodaled77]

This is art....chaplin we'll never forget U.. You've given to me the best moments of laught

[bigmathafaka]

every time i see this i always wonder to myself "how the fuck did he get up there?'

[JossJossJoss1]

@bigmathafaka watch the whole film and find out!

[pixiepqueen]

@bigmathafaka they filmed him jumping down off the table and then played the film backwards so it looks like he's jumping up on to the table. Pretty good editing job to achieve this effect I think.

[organofgnosis]

@bigmathafaka You mean 'round the end? Reversed shot yo! :) looks really good.

[bigmathafaka]

@organofgnosis no i mean at the beginning where he's up the curtain

[VictumRoManius]

Hitler and Mussolini made 73 accounts!

[googlemeister94]

@VictumRoManius You mean Hynkel and Napolini. :D

[gaarasrulestheworld]

I wonder how many world balloons they had to go through for this lol

[AdenJama]

@gaarasrulestheworld Hopefully, they didn't try shooting it in its entirety every time ^^

[hayden50]

GENIUS 

[TheEintr8frankfurt]

He's going for goaal! :D

[triforceofdinner]

and for thoughs who dont know, yes he did climb up there.

[TheDeepEndShow1]

2:26 This is what's going to happen if we don't promote alternative energy!

[007iRandom]

No it popped lol xx

[SHAKEandBAKEx]

/watch?v=v7qLq1IWP7U



[espinaca79]

Oh my God!, He made me cry!



[VictumRoManius]

I was searching for the Dick. Not the Dictator!

[LeighMSU21]

what is the rhetorical situation here?

[MattMystrieo]

@LeighMSU21 He's got the world in the palm of his hands, and he destroys it by playing with it.

[SlayXemnas]

I can not understand how anybody dislike this scene, or the entiry movie... It's a milestone in the history of film industry and the dance with the globe and also the final speech is the dramaturgical climax.

[silverstream225]

I watched the final speech part and oh my god... I cried sooo much!

[joeybasu516]

Chaplin's got a pretty mean vertical @ 2:09

[rachelpoppy13]

Austin Nichols sent me here :)

[AerowynTyr]

OOOH I get it his Outfit is Positively Charged so the ball is falling Towards him by more then just gravity.

[Solaris989]

omg had to pause and laugh for 5 minutes at the start of the video because he was randomly hanging from the curtain. god love ya charlie chaplin

[goblinvert]

i love his laugh.. a mix of satisfaction, power and maniac XD

[torytompkins]

Love Charlie < IF you have some time check out my original song The LIttle Tramp.. My Tribute song to Charles Spencer Chaplin TTT from Austin Texas singer songwriter musician actress and film student at the University of Texas

[Rebelpunk44]

70 people are Adolph Hitler

[MariposaRedimida]

@Rebelpunk44 Thank God that's not true!!!

[vladimirkafm]

He is really a genius comedian... It seems to me that he was once Hitler's idol... Cool Toothbrush mustache... Effective to hide ones emotion...

[TheSinestro89]

i love the mmusic! i never watched this movie, but i saw the cool speach and this funny scene, so yea,....u know im watching this later tonite!! lol

[dinosaurus1337]

I never knew Hitler and gracefulness would mix so well...

[xxxvsxxx]

Charlie Chaplin actually wrote a script on every movement in this scene

[jgar6]

what song is this?

[abandonedplanet]

@jgar6 Richard Wagner, Overtüre zu "Lohengrin"

[Sword1479]

@jgar6 The prelude to Act 1 of Wagner's Lohengrin.

[ngsntm]

haha...at 0.50 and 1:54 he uses his middle finger to spin the balloon :D

[MrFluorescentfrank]

HITLER WAS EVIL YET BOTHERED BY CHAPLINS MOVIE

[Memorex1942]

It really must have been hard to make a comedy about Nazis in that time. They really had to watch and not go to far. I think a nice, loving Hitler is hilarious =D

[Sandra3594]

He's so graceful with that ball well until the end

[grayhairs519]

Such a beautiful scene, the music is perfect. It's my favortie scene from this fantastic film.

[britod122]

its verry good

[walidocs]

HAIL CHAPLIN



[b1indmailman]

Charlie Chaplin is the greatest master of slapstick of all time!  No crappy Adam Sandler movie can compare!

[yojimbo81]

@b1indmailman When has a comparison ever been made?

[galimir]

@b1indmailman Who TF is Adam Sandler?

[schwoogie78]

@galimir a douche who used to be kinda funny....kinda

[galimir]

@schwoogie78 Never heard...

[NWFWMbudwieser]

@b1indmailman Adam Sandler isn't crappy. He's just funny as hell.

[masoaviator]

@NWFWMbudwieser Yeah whatever Charlie Chaplin is better anyway

[deinvadder88]

@b1indmailman Don't you dare mentioning that cretins name again under a chaplin clip. It's like metioning Justin Bieber while listening to "Stairway to Heaven".

[ariellejsa]

Greatest Master of Cinema: of ALL TIME.

Writer, Director, Actor, and Composer/ Musician.

NOBODY else could do this, What Chaplin did with "The Great Dictator:" The Allies freed those doomed to death by the Nazis, physically. CHAPLIN FREED THEM, EMOTIONALLY-- by MAKING HITLER (who totally stole HIS getup) INTO A FALLABLE, BLUNDERING, MEGALOMANIAC, BUFFOON!!! HAIL, CHAPLIN!!!

[TheHatheist]

@ariellejsa

You know this movie came out before World War II, right?

[RevolutionaryRed11]

@TheHatheist No it didn't. This movie came out in 1940 and World War II started in 1939

[Wellenreiterable]

Charlie Chaplin war großartig!!

[irm63]

Chaplin entlarvt hier das "freundliche Gesicht der Diktatur".

Die Art, wie sich Machthaber darstellen.

[nan2044]

Nunca existirá outro homem de tanto talento como Charlie Chaplin!!!

[LavenderTint]

1:43 Omg xD

[ALE280290]

It's funny that the music makes you cry and the scene makes you laugh!

Chaplin=genius!!

[wks1978]

@ALE280290 The music is Wager's prelude to Lohengrin

[melliecharm]

@ALE280290 Pink FLoys does this alot in "dogs" from the album Animals. Using melody yet saying the harshest most saddening things. It is genius.

[LewisVideoArchive]

Just ordered this on bluray - thanks for uploading. Makes me look forward to watching it.

[TheBeechingAxe]

Unfortunately, the Nazis are being proved right about some things (overpopulation, resource depletion, etc.) I'm afraid the jury is still out for the final count. Future events influence how history is viewed, in this instance as in all instances. It's the way of all geopolitical events.

[Tabbycat61794]

Charlie Chaplin once entered a "Charlie Chaplin look alike contest" and got third place...

[Rev1913Rev1916]

@Tabbycat61794 That's hilarious :D

[1srgsandoval]

Hitler felt betrayed by his favorite actor. Who's mustache came first? We all know the answer. Chaplin was the great creator, Great humanitarian and great man. Exiled from America for what? Being the man that was committed to the love of betterment of creation.

[piamehra]

Hey guys catch the SlapStick Classic Comedy Legend Charlie Chaplin on STAR PLAYER

[stewarteverson12]

Can someone put this back up with AOS - History Repeats Itself playing over it again, please?

[becamarko]

How ellegantly he captured the medness of Hitler. Probably rates as one of the best movie scenes ever shot, don't you think?

[blipblink]

Very Dr Strangelove, 20 years before it though!

[animes0ul]

haha we watched this movie in my homeroom class for social studies XDD

[NatJackson100]

@animes0ul hahah I watched it in class too

[LailaBecef]

Absurd, the background music of the scene is Richard Wagner's, Hitler's favorite composer.

I wonder if Charlie knew it...

[fartyarseimtim]

@LailaBecef

I would be surprised if he didn't!

[LailaBecef]

@fartyarseimtim funny and sad scene at once

[Rev1913Rev1916]

@LailaBecef imo Chaplin knew very well and chose the music deliberately, since the whole point is that Hynkel is a parody of Hitler. Pretty much anyone who is well educated concerning the Nazi period is aware that Hitler loved Wagner.

[Rev1913Rev1916]

@LailaBecef Which -- for what it's worth -- gets you my vote as well educated, btw :)

[LailaBecef]

@Rev1913Rev1916thank you very much! :)

[Rev1913Rev1916]

@LailaBecef :)

[Rev1913Rev1916]

@LailaBecef Hit "post" too soon.... that was meant to say :) you're welcome!

[LailaBecef]

@Fiammablue he didn't like it.by evidence - people said he watched this movie twice and he was offended by it, so he tried to show Charlie as a Jew

[CheeseWisconsin]

Possibly one of the best and ballsiest performances of all time! It took some hutzpah to make fun of hitler.

[MasterJediDude]

@CheeseWisconsin Especially while Hitler was alive!

[CheeseWisconsin]

@CheeseWisconsin EXACTLY!!!! I wonder what hitler would think?

[Hissanrach]

@CheeseWisconsin Hitler himself really liked Charlie Chaplin. He thought he was really funny and enjoyed American cinema. I don't know however his exact reaction to this film though...

[Eruadhiel]

@Hissanrach Aparrently some brave soul replaced the movie a bunch of nazis were seeing with The Great Dictator. After a few minutes one got up and started firing his gun at the screen. I don't think they caught the people who did it though.

[dracorider]

@Hissanrach Hitler screened the movie with no one but the projectionist. No one knows his actual response, but he apparently asked to see it again. Chaplin said he'd do anything to know what Hitler thought of his movie.

[Redexn]

Charlie Chaplin is a great actor, check out his speech from the Great Dictator! In HD.

/watch?v=EfHMvvy6kTY

[evoulasexy]

Making Hitler seem ridiculus was the best way to inspire the people against fascism.This film is a mastepiece.

[BJprocom]

Hail Hynkel!

[jigglyfidda125]

How did they have this accurate world map when there were no space shuttle pictures yet?

[chuckmanbob]

@jigglyfidda125 please tell me you are joking, please.....

[jigglyfidda125]

@chuckmanbob im not joking.

[chuckmanbob]

@jigglyfidda125 they used ships you retatard, how the fuck did you think people navigated around the world for centuries ? they follow the coastline and draw maps of it....

[jigglyfidda125]

@chuckmanbob I obviously know about ships, and i know world maps existed since the 15thc century. My point is the ACCURACY. Emphasis on accuracy.

[Joonavainio]

What the fuck? I love this movie, but only now I realised the music is a slight variation of Sibelius' Finlandia Hymn. Easily recognised. It may be from Lohengrin, but they have the same roots, sort of.

[LyricalTroll]

SIEG HEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[LyricalTroll]

anything dubbed sucks

[TruthVigilante]

These clips are my most favorite Chap scenes.

[falcoluminoso]

Chaplin sei un grande !!!!!!!!!!!!

falcoluminoso

[wwwtotalitaerde]

Some of the murders by the German BND known to the public:

Uwe Barschel (politician), Jürgen Möllemann (politician), Heiner Gehring (author), Martina Pflock (political activist), Tron (internet activist), Karl Koch (political/internet activist), Bernd Seiffert (human rights activist), Kirsten Heisig (author/judge), Fritz Bauer (persecutor of the Frankfurt Auschwitz processes), Markus Bott (human rights activist).

Google the names and check out my channel and homepage.

[SurilyKatta]

This is not a song. The theme is from Richard Wagners "Lohengrin" (I think Ouverture).

[Firewolf35023]

That sums up Hitler and  ww2 in a nut shell right there

[kizzdancer]

There is so much that can be said from this short clip. Even when there is only music and action

[kainedamo]

I wonder if this is scene is in some sense a metaphor for the childishness of the fantasy of control.

[TheShantamGoyal]

@kainedamo There probably is. For a few moments someone thought that the world is his to take.

[mariomj71099]

I would hate Charlie if he was the ruler of the space and he'd spin our globe like that. OH TEH DIZZYNESS!

[Cl000000oooo]

What is the song ?

[Bregowald]

@Cl000000oooo Song? what 'song' are you talking about? I don't hear an singing. I do hear music, though

[Cl000000oooo]

@Bregowald I'm french, and I don't speak very much english . x)

I have spoken about music but i know, it's Lohengrin of Wagner.

( scuse me for my english )

[azulichigo]

First time I saw this scene, I was completely captivated by the beauty and symbolizem going on. This is my favorite Chaplin moment.

[MysterySessions]

I want a balloon like that.

[bladeisgroovy5]

Chaplin is a man of peace... we should learn his words. though hes not like Jesus or Budda. We should learn his ideas of peace and love like Beatle fans like myself do with John Lennon. Just learn peace and love...or the world will "pop".

[dinosaurus1337]

Atleast he didn't sing.

[parajka01]

good:)

[483gaga]

66 people are unhappy nazis

[anchery1000]

exlnt!!!

[AHHHsomeINC]

Steal a mans mustache and he'll make a vengeful video about you...

[Hania454]

@AHHHsomeINC Great comment

[12lambada]

@AHHHsomeINC Movie... a whole movie mocking that asshole for our view and pleasure....decades later . Now THAT'S epic

[takutanuva937]

Easily, one of the most beautiful and poignant moments every put on screen.

[Dru9y]

Happy B day Mr Chaplin :)

[EmeraldDSilver]

[31thatkidagain]

One of my fav scenes of him ever.

[macrocec]

not even maradona could do that, lol

[batman8883]

this video is the one that made hitler do that

[HNavidos]

From 2.07 the video is playing backward. The globe goes up by itself. I was allways wondering how it did that fine jump too.

Great video. Love it.

[sandrafrancisco1980]

Such a visionary...

[zerodibujero]

Maybe he was hited on Libia with his butt!

[moreira001if]

a simplicidade a naturalidade  foi a estrutura deste mestre do cinema isso e Charli Chaplin

[moreira001if]

estamos diante da simplicidade do prazer de fazer sonhos isso e charli chaplin

[Seabound07]

And then Hitler walks in "why are you playing with my globe?"

[mikedo6]

That's Boo Hoo......
