  • I bet you they ban this in china =P

  • Chaplin was right. We need to unite and work together. We all need to unite, while there’s still time. He warned all of us. We are going the wrong way. United we can end world hunger, we can end diseases, end “national barriers”, ..etc... God sent us here for a purpose. To love, respect and help one another. This is a wonderful world, let’s not ruin it and destroy it anymore. I passed this video to my friends.

  • @Mauro78850 it would be great but its impossible :(

  • Powerful

  • This Video proves that there is good in this world.

  • I cried so much! Charlie Chaplin was a true genius!

  • To clearify: "At the time of its first release, the United States was still formally at peace with Nazi Germany. Chaplin's film advanced a stirring, controversial condemnation of Hitler, fascism, antisemitism, and the Nazis, whom he excoriates in the film as "machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts"."

  • i cant believe biebers fagget ass has more views then this -___-

  • People who fear for posting this on facebook they do not understand and see as we see but we must help them see with constant messages make the world a better place by making better people including yourselves help each other understand each other and one man can change the world imagine what all the people who view this and understand it as we do we can change the world hand by hand.

  • christmas no.1 2012?

  • It makes me sad we still kill each other over wealth and land, we got advanced, but we are still primative because we been fighting since man clubbed the first animal for a simple meal, since then we been fighting. I think we should all unite under one world government and focus on improving everyone's life and focus on education instead of violence.

  • @JoeLil1993 whens the last time the u.s. has fought for land? weve helped other countrys gain land from communist dictators and terrorist do we own any of it today since ww2?

  • Longer.

  • wait I dont get it. he looks like Hitler and hes a comedian, its a good speech but I don normally associate the Hitler-stash with speeches of peace.

  • @MrJokerOWNS776 It's Charlie Chaplin, he is playing Hitler but this happened in October 1940. I'm not sure if it was a satire, I should watch the movie.

    More info on wikipedia under The Great Dictator

  • Wisdom is strong in this one...

  • haha 3:30 happy face

  • I don't know,I think I just find the best video on youtube!!!

  • Greed and Selfishness are the cause of most of the worlds problems. Think about it.

  • Truly inspiring..

  • @TheMolestedgecko Hitler wasnt that nice or reasonable. This guy brought a tear to my eye :')

  • I wish i had this playing in my conscience every time im about to do something wrong

  • Is that Hitler?

  • @TheMolestedgecko Im sorry no offence i know its not your fault your un educated but please dislike this comment it wrecks the video

  • @BennanAzza Doesn't your comment go against the whole purpose of the video. I only asked because hitler gave speeches, he was a very good speaker, part of the reason people followed him in the first place. Also, I didn't know if this was a movie in support of the nazi moment which was prevalent in the US as well as other places.

  • @TheMolestedgecko No its Charlie Chaplin from his movie "The dictator" all of his acts he has that mustache

  • @TheMolestedgecko Lets see, its in english, english accent, its ANTI-fascist and humanitarian, of course it isn't bloody hitler !

  • @watsinyrwallet Let's see, he's got the infamous moustache, and he looks to be wearing a nazi uniform. I wasn't sure if Chaplin was portraying some sort of different take on hitler. Which is why I asked the well done question.

  • @TheMolestedgecko like i said in other comment look up what the fucking uniform looks like and you will not see any resemblence and...god no it is not a well done question if you knew hitlers hate and just simple facts about him you would know its not him

  • @TheMolestedgecko ya the dictator who hates jews says he wants to help them and for the other comment below wtf hello!!!! two x's is not the nazi sign look it up and hitler gave speeches...the on extermintion on the jews and said germans was the main race or some shit not to help them and care for everyone

  • Oh this speech i can meditate with this !!

  • Brilliant just brilliant . May we learn theses lessons

  • This is truly accurate. Whatever happend in the last 10 thousand years, all we have to do is just ignore dictators and be happy and succesful in life. There is so much we can do regardless of all this stuff that appeared other time. I'm adding this to a playlist.

  • no words to describe.

  • Seriously... who wouldn't want such a peaceful world? Why try to cling to our old ways, when we know there is so very much more to life... it's beautiful. Why give power to the cruel, why destroy? People need to see this, every single person.

  • This is so fucking bad.

  • you want to know what's really sad? I posted this on my Facebook to try to spread and circulate this video... and I didn't get any feedback from it from anyone what so ever.. I then decided to test the people on my fb list and posted one of those "shit people say" videos... and I got bombarded with feedback. I guess people would rather watch something stupid, than something meaningful, something with an actual Message behind it. I fear for our species

  • @thecurse23 =(

  • @thecurse23

    I've always generally regarded facebook as a waste of time, only reason I have an account is to get updates by email from a club I'm a member of.

  • @SpinDizzyMR me too. I had my facebook deactivated for a while. but after watching this video I felt compelled to share it with my friends. I figured facebook could be a good way to share this message. I guess I was wrong :(

  • @thecurse23 exact problem im having

  • @thecurse23 heh i did the same, no response at al....

  • @thecurse23 did the same a few days ago...it just goes to show that some people have fear of changing

    

  • @thecurse23 Do not fear for our species, for that which is making us inhuman is coming to an end. Do not fear hate, ignorance or misery, for that will only make those things stronger.The day is soon near that we will live hand in hand with one another as opposed to in isolation and unhapiness. Do everything in your power to asuage the wounds we have inflicted upon ourselves and do everything in your power to bring light to this world. For only then can those things you fear come to an end.

  • @thecurse23 i know exactly what you're talking about, i fear to place anything on my facebook page with any meaning or a scrap of intellect.. the facebook generation is a bad one to be stuck in.. cheaper than texting though.

  • @thecurse23 don't worry friend, we may be few, but it only takes a few of us

  • @thecurse23 I think people have got so evil now it's insane, I surprised a Red Cross Donation box person when I dropped a five dollar bill in the box. I didn't need it so I figured give it to someone who needs it. I don't like how the world is getting, the only thing that enpowers someone is greed and lust, I find it sick. I don't have the best job in the world, but as long as I got a roof over my head, food on the table and a vehicle in good repair, I am fine, that all I need and my guitar.

  • @thecurse23 yah i posted this pn my fb got a lime or 2 i sent it as a message to a guy named chris o'sheilds nd he posted it and got more likes and people were sayin were'd u find it ect and i said tht i he stole it from me deleted my comments thn i posted more he deleted me people are douches

  • @randomjake1488 yeah, people care only for the attention they from others. I just wanted to make this video a bigger audience. but at least you know you did your part. and that's what's important.

  • @thecurse23 thats very sad but at least we have 122,547 people who seem to hear this message and wish to pass it on.... hopefully that number will increase over time..

  • @icesword139 amen, that gives me hope. thanks for the words of support. its our job to pass this message along.

  • @thecurse23 I did the same and no one but one of my closet friend till this day actually understood

  • @thecurse23 Fear not

  • @thecurse23 I did the exact thing man, didn't get nothing. I seriously thought people would be like "you know what, this video really touched my heart" I wish people were more educated in this world. =[

  • @thecurse23 Fear not, there are those (such as myself) who care deeply about how society is organized and how we are destroying ourselves. I plan to devote my entire life to addressing these questions. I have no desire to be a capitalist...I have no desire for fame and fortune....I just want to fight for a better world.....for all the generations to come and for all the species which share this planet.

  • @thecurse23 That's why I deleted my facebook, the thought of becoming like them was more then I could bare.

  • @thecurse23 i got 1 like by doing the same thing its sad...

  • @thecurse23 Same exact thing with me ...my friends are morons

  • We all need to share this. Just saying... the views should be a hole lot higher.

  • Wow.

  • damn onions ;(

  • i watched this three times, What is the name of the speech, i want to find a written version.

  • @n1ckz3rwig its the speech from The Great Dictator, by Charley Chaplin

  • His voice in the middle of the speech gave me goose bumps

  • @samanmsa yes, even my nipples felt that.

  • my english isnt the best ... i think we should not SAY "oh it is so true".... we should DO waht is the meaning of this speech.

  • Was crying within the first thirty seconds.

  • Some thing must have gotten in my eye

  • Communist or not communist, it doesn't make anything he just said any less true.

  • love the Chaplin movies, but this guy was communist and a leftist.

  • @usaeagle1776 At this time they didn't know the problems with communism. There will never be something wrong with a dream as long as it remains a dream... IMO.

  • @AiuGiamos : uh they didnt know? you serious? they knew. come on man.

  • people should stop pulling him up on the small lines, we know what he meant and this is undeniably the best speech that will ever be said, it is timeless

  • the people who talk the least have the most to say

  • "In the name of democracy" No thanks. I'd rather have a system that works, a good system, a benevolent and intelligent system. Democracy is neither.

  • @aleronstube bullshit.

  • @usaeagle1776 What well thought out reply. Contact me when you get an education.

  • @aleronstube Could you elaborate on what you mean by that? I fail to see how a system where everyone gets to have an influence (however small) on what goes on in the government isn't at least benevolent.

  • @StarlightTheAmpharos If everyone gets an influence, nothing gets done. Large-scale governments can't afford to have input from all the people, it just slows things down. IMO its easier and more efficient to give the states more power, but its really hard to be unified as a people nationally that way (not like we really are anyways).

  • @StarlightTheAmpharos Benevolence is doing what is just and right. If everyone has an influence, then everyone can do as they wish. The majority are not good at deciding what is moral or just. It's the opposite. Letting everyone have an influence is not a moral system, because it allows opinion rather than fact to rule.

  • RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • So... I'm confused.. does this video portrait Obama as a "dictator/brute" or as a "fighter" 02:56 - 03:10

    Any thoughts, anyone..?

  • "you are not cattle"? In my view: we are not higher than cattle. we will not get liberated until we respect those "cattle".

    Any how, I have great respect to this guy, who is a rare incident in human history.

  • So true... great words!

  • My dear Zerogravity,

    Chaplin was a well-known lefty associated with Communist causes. My only point was that he never criticized Stalin, the Spanish republican leaders from 1931-1939, or, e.g., Castro. This may have had something to do with his penurious youth. Who knows? He' is an entertainer, after all. Oh, and I'll promise to brush up on my Chomsky, if you will do the same for your spelling and syntax : doesn't one normally criticise what one despises and defend what one believes? You do.

  • There, there, Badgerbrony: back on your medication now.

  • How could anybody dislike this?? That's why we are here, where we are...

  • Does anyone know where i can find a copy of the words....my wife is deaf and i would like her read it?

    thanks ...................

  • @deilodeviant i would give you the link but youtube doesn't allow it so just google "charlie chaplin speech in The Dictator". :)

  • Watch this with Hans Zimmer - Time. (⌐■_■)

  • I don't get it.

  • @CallsignViper12, To bad for you then.

  • I appreciate your point, Mr. Youkingtube and believe you to be sincere in proferring it; however, the rhetoric of Chaplin is, when you think about it, simply a collage of platitudes, which anyone - from the Unabomber to Josef Goebbles - could have uttered. My specific annoyance with it, as with so much other agiprop these days, is its sole application to the "right." Do you really suppose that the Klan, Nazi Party, or the perennial favorite Joe McCarthy pose an existential problem for us? 

  • So who is the one who wrote it? who?

  • @BowlofIndoMee the writer of the film was Charlie Chaplin himself

  • we all hope for a better world. but the sad truth is..greed will always exist among us, and when there's greed, there's violence.

  • "the misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way oh human progress"

  • Problem = Money

    Solution = Venus Project (resource based global economy)

  • This video should have 6billion clicks ...

  • when that dog went into his owners lap i nearly bawled my eyes out

  • Charlie Chaplin, you will never be forgotten.

  • this was posted on my birthday ;) ha

  • Search youtube for the song Hans Zimmer - Time and start this video and that video at the same time. You will be blown away

  • I think people need to leave politics out of their assessments of this video and see what it's really about: unity and how we've turned from that path.

  • The title says this is the greatest speech ever made, and I'll be damned if it's not the greatest speech ever made. One thing wrong though. The Hitler stash. No.

  • @ROOKI3LINKX ha well charlie chaplin is almost as famous for that mustache style as hitler, and this movie is a parody of hitler. chaplin's character is a barber who is mistaken for the countries dictator, who is supposed to be hitler

  • @shesxlostxcontrol80 I know who Chaplin is :) I was just saying that the hitler style mustache kind of ruins it a little.

  • ay Girl, you make a good video :P

    I read descriptions.

  • I just wonder why, why are people so selfish when they have more than others? People like them, humans! Are suffering yet they dont care. I ask myself that question everyday trying to find the answer. I promise you if I had the chance to help ONE person at least I would do it any day. I promise.

  • why is he dressed like Hitler?

  • @TheBloodcleaner the movie is a parody of hitler. Chaplin plays a character who looks the exact same as the dictator and is mistaken for him and as a result, unintentionally takes the position of the dictator

  • This made me tear up and tingle no speech has ever done that to me. This a beutiful speech. God bless

  • How ironically beautiful.

  • I watch this every single day.

  • As we continue to unite behind theTwelve Visions Party(the non-ruling class unifier) bringing forth The Prime Law--we will all "become millionaires without lifting a finger". The TVP is the party that will "Make All The People Rich..Including The Poor"..and the Elderly". And will garuntee the conditions that will bring about limitless wealth, nearly perfect health and peace. End Political Greed..Vote Jill Reed!--2012

  • it's weird hearing him speak

  • Great speech, video sucked.

  • i cried for the first time in months.

  • Im not sure if this video thought bad or good of obama

  • This is why Charlie Chaplin was way better than Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, or even Leonardo DiCaprio or Morgan Freeman. Charlie Chaplin acquired fame, and more importantly, attention. And then he used his fame and with the people's attention, he said something that MEANS something, even 72 years later, his message still bears more meaning than the greatest film-maker's movie, or the greatest musician's song.

  • Cutting onions in a sandstorm is freaking too much... I can't take it anymore!!! I'm crying.

  • anyone also notice he has a hitler mustache and is saying this

  • @warlord92898 he had it before anyone even knew who Hitler was.

  • @warlord92898 it's from an old comedy called the great dictator that was meant to satirize hitler

  • Let's do it!

  • Wow. I almost cried a bit.

  • @DrinkRumpleMinze Hopefully so you can receive a better education...

  • Wow! That was quite a speech, and most of what he says is very true! I have absolutely no idea what this is from, nor have I ever seen it before. It's almost like a speech by Adolf Hitler, but in a parallel dimension. A parallel plane of existance in which Hitler truly is a great savior making the world a better place, rather than that Hitler in our world who was a hateful and evil man masquerading as savior, who caused the death and suffering of millions, committed genocide, and started wars.

  • How can you not like this? ...They Must support Obama.

  • @rdmd0072 why MUST support obama/?

  • what movie is this from?

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • well time to start my day now!

    

  • oops tears in my eyes again

  • first time i saw this i did cry a little

  • 1,118 neo-nazi's, racists and other poisons to this world clicked dislike

  • WHAT. AN. ACTOR!

  • Open another tab, type in hans zimmer, Time.... It fits really well. <3

  • Thank you for this upload. You touched my heart.

    I don't want just to be touched and move on. I want to live those words and to touch others as well. I love you my brothers and sisters from around the world. May one day we will see this dream that we dream come alive. In this generation or the next

  • Want to know why what the things stated in this vid will probably never happen?

    After watching this vid:"Oh my god that was beautiful.He's right,we have to do something!"

    *Does nothing afterwards* or *watch more inspirational speeches and sayings then do nothing*

    And then we whine about how nothing has changed.Scumbag people,who have yet to realize that if there are no heroes,become one yourself.And I bet that even after reading this,we STILL won't do anything.This,is the world we live in

  • Athene charity!

  • How ironic that Charlie Chaplin gives this speech - a comedian...I ask you. Almost as ironic as the VW Beetle becoming the most used vehicle by peace loving hippies...a car made by The Fuhrer...lol

  • nothing is going to change until we act... there s already a million views, wat a gr8 change it'd b if all the viewers act towards the betterment of their own soceity.....

  • This is amazing, I am in love with this. Thank you for sharing :)

  • that's our world.. the strong eat the weak

  • I can't believe a comedian said this, the greatest thing I have ever heard.

  • 6 million people agree nobody acts, WE got to fix this. WE are the next generation to fix this. WE can fix this.

  • @roxjeruben Saying "we got to fix this" is part of the problem. Lets see how long it takes you to figure it out :)

  • The greatest speech yes, but nobody takes the first fucking step to realize his vision. this man is a hero. If I had the money I would buy a huge amount of land and built food and give it away to the ones who need it. When/If i get miljonair I will try to realize this vision. You need to be open for this vision. Share this vision to those who make it impossible to realize this vision. most agree with this speech yet nobody acts. If you have to resources please act.

  • @roxjeruben This is my lifes goal!

  • @roxjeruben It starts with us. we cannot expect millionaires to donate their money if we cannot part with ours. it begins with every single one of us. every single one of us, no matter how poor, is better off than someone else in this world. we cannot ask for just the "wealthy" to act. we all must act. It starts now, a dollar, two dollars, there is always something we can all spare, because there are always people less fortunate then ourselves.

  • @roxjeruben You don't need money to realize the vision. You may not have the resources but you have connectivity, spread the word on cases of injustice and corruption.

  • @roxjeruben Great comment. Support the Twelve Visions Party! It is the only means by which to realize this vision. See youtube video entitled: "Held Back for 3000 years..Now Revealed".

  • @roxjeruben you realize that someone wrote what he said and he just read it and did it dramaticly

  • @coprespect01 from all that I have found Charlie Chaplin wrote,directed and produced this film as well as most of all his films. It was a movie known as Dictator in which he poked fun at hitler as it was done before the U.S. was in the war. 1940 I believe. Charlie once said he would have never done it had he known how bad it really was in germany

  • @smokyn33 lol i dont know showbiz so, but ya then indeed a good speech

  • @roxjeruben How beautiful that may sound, you know such a thing is terribly naive, and will unfortunately never be accomplished..

  • dam onions

  • the bit with the dog always makes me teary

  • this is so beautiful.

  • the look on his face in the end is heartbreaking. like the happiness of humankind is just a dream, an unattainable hope. it makes me sad, but in the same time, it makes fight everyday against the worlds injustice:)

    truly inspiring.

  • Im not embarrassed to say I Nearly Cried.

  • @OhHeyBenni your not alone

  • Charlie Chaplin was a genius. Why do we lack men/women of such brilliance today? The beautiful irony of this scene is that Chaplin was portraying/explaining the ability of men such as Hitler to win mass adulation.

  • this si beautful i love this! THIS IS AMAZING.

  • Notice that Chaplin never mentions Stalin or anyone on the Left in his diatribe. Only the Right. E.g., no problems with Republican attroicies in the Spanish Civil War - only Francisco Franco. Having done his bit foster the promulgation of the War, he thought the resulting Cold War simply a failure to understand the benevolence of the USSR. This sort of agiprop might impress the easily impressionable (see "hatesmisery" above, who watches is every night before bed) but nobody else.

  • @trevor462 he does not mention anyone on the right either. He's critic can be aplied on both parties. On the other hand, see how your ego tend to defend what you beleive, and criticise what you despise. You are blinden by your ego. This speech goes far beyond the right/left debate. Maybe go read some Chomsky.
