Love the bland translator - makes you wonder what they're diluting from other things we hear today. "His Excellency has just made reference to the Jewish people..."
At 00:43, Hynkel explains, while pouring water down his trousers, that "Tomania was down, but now he has risen". Thereupon the crowd, doing its stiff-armed salute, makes the phallic character of the proceedings explicit. Has there ever been a better commentary on the Dritte Reich?
Chaplin was a genius and had huge balls for doing such a movie at this time. Some of the antics in the movie are quite dated and cumbersome, but the use of irony in this context and understanding of the human condition regarding fascism etc. by chaplin are priceless in their revelation and wise beyond the age of this film. The ending says it all.
The use of language as such serves not only a comedic purpose, but underlies how fascists used obscure, bombastic language and themes to create an isolationist, organic identity to their nation. It also plays to the anti-intellectualism or dumbing down of society that fascist states sought after to create an agenda that was hard to challenge.

I saw this movie, for the first time, in 1989 when a local theater in our town held Chaplin's film festival.
Watch out for those mikes who too react for Fooey's outburst. I feel that it is the most powerful understatement given by Chaplin about the "power-of-speech" :)
He's speaking parodies of German words, just to get across flavour.
Subtitles would ruin the effect. As befit a silent-film actor, Chaplin was more eloquent with his gestures and attitude than his script. That horrible voice-over, for example, made the scene 10 times worse. We understood everything, and then Chaplin overexplained it -- making the film about four steps behind its viewer.
what a great man chaplin was. Too bad he went to US. Those dumb asses thought he was a communist at that time for making a parody and talk about piece and democracy
@SuperTonyony I never meant ALL Americans are dumb nor ALL Americans who lived back then were dumb. I meant stupid people who don't think for themselves and belief every propaganda and every word the government tells them. Never meant to offend anyone :)
@SuperTonyony Sadly most americans are uneducated and ignorant through no fault of their own. It is a deliberate policy of the oligarchs who run your country to keep the people in a state of darkness. You are taught just enough to be good workers, filled with "my country right or wrong" propaganda, taught to hate 'unamerican activities', and inducted into a bronze age religion.
Eh de strepnitz hültensekt, de Wiener Schnitzel mit de Lagerbierten und de Sauerkraut, eh de Flütensack-da-flörten, in Tomainia bis ein Straff, en da Blietzensack da klütsch, öh! iffläiner straff mitta ach ...

Baluni war sein Strütz mit setz eltensekter-klütn, ein da straff mit seiner Klatsch, eh! da Stratz mit seckedententer, mit seiner Tratsch, mit schkedeng, mein Allatidda, wieder straffen, di straffen, si straffen!
BTW I find it very improbable that Hitler ever saw this movie, comments to the contrary notwithstanding. Everything we read indicates he had a huge ego and he was surrounded by yes men, sycophants, flatterers, etc., none of whom liked giving him bad news. People who gave him negative information tended to fall out of his favor and presence. I sure wouldn't want to be the one telling him about this movie, though I'm sure he heard about it through press reports.
The poor little dictator,cursed even before birth,he have the hatred of the universe inside of him.It must be a very heaven burden,i wondered sometime why the beautiful God created such an ugly SCHTONKER.
@TheAgerox nothing that I have ever heard in any other context. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that since he wrote music for his sound pictures, it is something Chaplin composed for this film and he was trying to imitate the style of German military marching music. I'm only guessing.
You forget 3:05 "Soldiers for Hynkel" - thats pefect german. Means "Soldaten für Hynkel" in english. Or was it the other way round?
And 0:35 "Wieder straffen, sie straffen, sie straffen!" Means "Again tighten them, tighten them, tighten them!"
I can not find other places with two or more german words in a row which have a meaningful context. Just nonsens and individual catchphrases cobbled together. Still - it sounds like Hitler even to a german. This should make you wonder.
I didn't realize the 'sie straffen' meant 'tighten them'. Thanks for the info!
There are a few more bits like the 'Soldaten fur Hynkel'. At 4:17 he has 'Blitzkrieg France', and a bit later (4:23) a list of countries (France, Finland, and Russia) mixed with 'und den straff mitsseine', which I guess means 'and then nonsense nonsense'.
But what about 0:14-0:20? Could you translate it please? It sounds like perfect German to me! :)
0:14-0:20 is a german idiom that can not be translated ;)
4:20 sounds to me as a german like "und wenn Holz strafft mit seine, und den Franz, und wenn Holz sein straff mit seine Finnland! Und wenn Holz sein strafft mit seine Russe, weil stresst der Welle, hey!"
which literaly translates as
"and if wood tightens with his, and the Franz (=a male name), and if wood be tight with his Finland! And if wood be tighted with her 'male russian', because stressed the wave, hey! "
The wood tightening translation actually makes perfect sense - you can see at 0:48 how he dealt with his wood getting too tight :)
I wonder if there are other satires of Hitler like this one. I don't know of any. Before the war most people were too busy trying to pretend he wasn't a serious danger, and after it the subject became so serious that satire was out of the question.
@BVBuergerbewegungen he keeps using a word that has an umlaut in it....doesn't the German word for "flute" or "flutes" sound like what he keeps repeating?
I can hear him say "Flüten" and "Flijeten". That has no meaning, but sounds a little bit like "Flöten", which means indeed "Flutes" or "to play on the flute". But it can also be interpreted as "fluten", which means "to flood" or "to surge". Considering his excaggerated use of Umlaute (ä, ö, ü) and the "content" of his speach this is more likely what Chaplin had in mind.
@BVBuergerbewegungen it wouldn't make sense that Germans would sound like this in ordinary conversation but newsreels here in the 1930s would have concentrated on his hysterical passages, giving Americans an incorrect impression. Though as many viewers have noted, the general speech patterns and tones sound typically German to our ears.
@1276epr well of course he is parodying/warning of hitler. hitler did have a very raspy and screechy voice. combined with the furius passion he had. i think he is pretty spot on.
he's such a genius. just listen to his speech! he was so ahead of everyone else in that time, and even after he made this movie he was BANNED FROM THE US! they thought he was worshipping hitler or something. soooo stupid
No it was NOT banned in the US. Cinemas in Chicago did not want to show it, because they did not want to anger the population of german descent in the city. Thats all.
When the film was produced, the U.K. gouvernment said that they would prohibit it. This was part of the apeacement policy of that time. But when the film was published, UK was already at war with germany and so it was even welcome.
@izzy22121 Actually he was banned because he was too liberal minded for the McCarthy era and perceived as a possible threat by the conservatives. McCarthy and his communist hunters tried to implicate him as a socialist, failing that. J. Edgar Hoover had his visa revoked when Chaplin went to Europe to promote his newest film.
@dudewhosaysarrh They sure forgot about all the funds he raised in WWI for war bonds, didn't they. But he had miffed a lot of conservative people with his personal life for a number of years. But I don't understand why he never applied for American citizenship during all those years, which would have solved his Hoover problem..... no denying he was marching to his own drumbeat in life.
this movie is soo funny! I discovered when i was 12 on TCM and I just loved it. I think that if I ever go to Germany, I will probably laugh when I hear their language thanks to this film lol.
Inetersting. I guess this goes to show who strong sounds make up a language. For u can say a bunch of gibberish in English/Spanish/Chinese/etc. sounds & to a outsider, they'd think u were speaking that language. I've even heard some Dutch folks speaking Dutch & l kept wondering where in America r they from. Their sounds did not sound German or even British but America however l didn't understand a word they spoke. I actually asked them & they revealed they spoke Dutch.
@Sogwa yeah I know some dutch have an american accent, but to be honest ,, the dutch influencing english is how american accents were born , in the north east like pennsylvania
Very fascinating! Especially since the Dutch influence in NY left behind every name they ever thought of.
Harlem, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, etc, etc, etc,
Personally accents fascinate me! Unfortunately when u don’t speak a lang. or only know it as foreigner (beg. to inter. level) u never get to truly enjoy regional dialects.
However I can many times tell if a Spanish speaker is from central Amer. the Caribbean (Cuba, etc.) or S. Amer./Spain & I know very little Spanish.
@nakamu1973 I like how you worded that. I agree with it too. All language has it's beautiful sounds and it's ugly sounds. I am an native English speaker learning to speak Japanese. Some of my friends think the language sounds aggressive but I don't hear it that way. I used to be able to speak some German but over the years I've forgotten it. To me, Hitler sounds like any drunken fool who's rambling on and on about nothing but doing it very loud and passionately.
This sure is the best part of the movie. So also i like the scenes when he was irritated by the pen stands on his table. Demokrasy Stonk !!! Hail Hynkel !!!!!
This is just too funny! You know what I'd love to hear? An impression of the english language in that style. I've always been facinated to know what it sounds like to someone who doesn't speak it.
I'm german too and I think this is so funny ^^ just because everything he says makes absolutely no sense ;)
but I've got a question : does german really sound that bad to foreigners?I know our language is not "beautiful" , but does it really sound soooo bad or is he just overacting to make it more entertaining? ^^
He's partially overacting, but to people who speak English, German does sound that gutteral. I've tried speaking it on a program, and my throat was hurting-I actually did need to cough while speaking it, because every sound comes from the back of the throat.
@monchy005 I as a German think that German is the most beautiful language in the world. It's the language of the poets and thinkers and no crappy language like English (by accident considered to be "cool") is able to keep up with it.
@monchy005 To foreigners it doesn't sound bad, but I do think that it's rather funny to hear the German language because for all I know, he could have been speaking straight German. haha I made out Wiener Schnitzel. haha (sorry about the spelling) German does sounds harsh, but in a humorous way to me! :)
@Jschwar7 No need to apologize for your spelling of Wiener Schnitzel, that was absolutely correct. Apparently German comes across as a rather harsh language. A friend of mine once remarked that if he heard me having a normal conversation in German he had the impression that I was going to strangle someone next. I most emphatically contested that notion and had him subsequently shot ....;-)
It is a very consonant heavy, sibilant language. People generally tend to think those languages sound harsher while thinking vowel heavy languages like Italian sound prettier.
@monchy005 I also have relatives who lives now in Germany, your language does not sound bad. We Filipinos have so many native language spoken here in the Philippines and if you heard some of our native language it's sound like they are birds talking, Charlie Chaplin just make it more entertaining, and besides I know not all of you delivers speech like Hitler..:-)
I am learning German and it seems to me somewhat ambiguous. The only difference among verbs and most variations of substantives endings are almost always some few combinations of 'e', 'n' and 'r'. And, forgive me, it seems also very unexpressive. The words are all alike. A speech in German sounds like too much noise for nothing.
@monchy005 I think he's over doing it to be funny, but it does sound similar to proper German (although I know he's saying just random words) from a foreigners perspective.
I think the German language sounds very interesting (and although it's not all lovey dovey like french) I really the structure of it.
@monchy005 German gets a bad rap but it actually can sound quite beautiful. Listen the German classical music of Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart and so forth (their vocal music of course) and it sounds anything but ugly. I can't imagine Beethoven's 9th symphony finale being sung in any other language. And if it's spoken well I find it quite appealing, like most languages.
@monchy005 well sword of, but Hitler had that accent, in reallity it doesn't sound bad. I am a spanish speaker native, and I have studied Duetsch for a while. It's a beautiful lengage. (Hitler's german sounded like that.
@monchy005 it sounds like that when hitler speaks it , but I dunno i'm flemish from belgium so I always sortof was able to more or less follow whats being said , so I don't really notice what it REALLY sounds like as I understand it more or less

Inetersting. I guess this goes to show who strong sounds make up a language. For u can say a bunch of gibberish in English/Spanish/Chinese/etc. sounds & to a outsider, they'd think u were speaking that language. I've even heard some Dutch folks speaking Dutch & l kept wondering where in America r they from. Their sounds did not sound German or even British but America however l didn't understand a word they spoke. I actually asked them & they revealed they spoke Dutch.

@Sogwa yeah I know some dutch have an american accent, but to be honest ,, the dutch influencing english is how american accents were born , in the north east like pennsylvania

Very fascinating! Especially since the Dutch influence in NY left behind every name they ever thought of.
Harlem, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, etc, etc, etc,
Personally accents fascinate me! Unfortunately when u don’t speak a lang. or only know it as foreigner (beg. to inter. level) u never get to truly enjoy regional dialects.
However I can many times tell if a Spanish speaker is from central Amer. the Caribbean (Cuba, etc.) or S. Amer./Spain & I know very little Spanish.

@Sogwa yep, that's pretty much it. He does scatter a few german words here and there, but most of it is complete gibberish.

l don't speak a bit of German except ''alvedersays'' or good buy & dank you.
So l was wondering if Chaplin actually knew German b/c to me who knows as much German as my sock, he sounds like he's speaking fluent German.
l DID hear a few English words & something that sounds like sour-crout or some other food items.

I'm Japanese and I'm sorry to say that his speech sounds like real German in Hitler's speech for my ear....
But I don't think German is "bad" nor "ugly" language when people speak in usual situation.
nakamu1973 1 year ago
@nakamu1973 I like how you worded that. I agree with it too. All language has it's beautiful sounds and it's ugly sounds. I am an native English speaker learning to speak Japanese. Some of my friends think the language sounds aggressive but I don't hear it that way. I used to be able to speak some German but over the years I've forgotten it. To me, Hitler sounds like any drunken fool who's rambling on and on about nothing but doing it very loud and passionately.

I'm german too and I think this is so funny ^^ just because everything he says makes absolutely no sense ;)
but I've got a question : does german really sound that bad to foreigners?I know our language is not "beautiful" , but does it really sound soooo bad or is he just overacting to make it more entertaining? ^^
monchy005 2 years ago 34
He's partially overacting, but to people who speak English, German does sound that gutteral. I've tried speaking it on a program, and my throat was hurting-I actually did need to cough while speaking it, because every sound comes from the back of the throat.
So yes, it really does sound that bad.

@monchy005 To foreigners it doesn't sound bad, but I do think that it's rather funny to hear the German language because for all I know, he could have been speaking straight German. haha I made out Wiener Schnitzel. haha (sorry about the spelling) German does sounds harsh, but in a humorous way to me! :)
Jschwar7 1 year ago
@Jschwar7 No need to apologize for your spelling of Wiener Schnitzel, that was absolutely correct. Apparently German comes across as a rather harsh language. A friend of mine once remarked that if he heard me having a normal conversation in German he had the impression that I was going to strangle someone next. I most emphatically contested that notion and had him subsequently shot ....;-)
just kidding!

It is a very consonant heavy, sibilant language. People generally tend to think those languages sound harsher while thinking vowel heavy languages like Italian sound prettier.

Salvat801 1 year ago
@monchy005 Yes, it really sounds that way.
I am learning German and it seems to me somewhat ambiguous. The only difference among verbs and most variations of substantives endings are almost always some few combinations of 'e', 'n' and 'r'. And, forgive me, it seems also very unexpressive. The words are all alike. A speech in German sounds like too much noise for nothing.
I like it anyway.

@monchy005 I think he's over doing it to be funny, but it does sound similar to proper German (although I know he's saying just random words) from a foreigners perspective.
I think the German language sounds very interesting (and although it's not all lovey dovey like french) I really the structure of it.
KidsWithGuns1992 1 year ago
@monchy005 German gets a bad rap but it actually can sound quite beautiful. Listen the German classical music of Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart and so forth (their vocal music of course) and it sounds anything but ugly. I can't imagine Beethoven's 9th symphony finale being sung in any other language. And if it's spoken well I find it quite appealing, like most languages.
