"Since the end of the last world war, I have been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups who, by their influence and by the aid of America's yellow press, have created an unhealthy atmosphere in which liberal-minded individuals can be singled out and persecuted. Under these conditions I find it virtually impossible to continue my motion-picture work, and I have therefore given up my residence in the United States."
If the hairs on the back of your necks dont stand up when listening to this clip..you are sheep, stuck in your everyday struggles to obtain those bonuses,raises,RVSPs...Wake up..Unite!! and OCCUPY what is ours
A timeless speech and very true. World leaders and mainstream media today are focused on creating division, conflict and fear to control the masses and create more hate.
Ron Paul is too conservative to have in the tags for a Charlie Chaplin video, really. Charlie Chaplin was for the unions, not for privatization of everything.
There will always be15 o 16 sheeples o zombie that will never wont to wake up from their sleep even when knocked with a sledge hammer on the head.nice upload thanks alot we need it at this time.
Amazing. As his characters in his films, I never gave Chaplin a voice. It is only now that I realise that Chaplin wasn't merely a comedian, he was a great person with a share anger at what is truly disgusting about this world.
@jlsr1000 look at which party had the first black political figure, look at which president freed the slaves, look at which party voted to end slavery and which party voted 93% to keep it (democrats). and by the way, nazis were far left on the political spectrum where total govt control is on the left and anarchy is on the right. yeah........chaplin is talking about having freedoms......because democrats go hand in hand with making us more free (SARCASM). by the way i didn't vote for Bush.
@skullandtrombone dont read wikipedia. its a far left spectrum ideology in terms of govt control and how its ruled. the far right is pure anarchy....which we all know is bad.............the far left is communism, totalitarianism, facism, socialism (nazis). Where we need to be is slightly to the right of the middle. middle being a "democracy"....and us falling under a "republic" which is the rule of law, where our elections are democractic. so yes i know what im talking about.
@skullandtrombone nazism controlled the utilities, instituted national unions, took away guns, stole from mannnnnnnnnny people. the list can go on and on......very left nazism is.
@granta80 as a student of history and sociology I would very strongly disagree with your opinion on where Nazism falls on the poltiical spectrum. Nazism was a form of fascism and nationalism thus falls on the far right authoritarian, not the left. Simply having a totalitarian governtment doesn't make it a leftist ideology.
A good speech, but it's far from rare. It's the ending to his 1941 film "The Great Dictator"....a movie that has been seen by millions over the years, and can be bought on dvd today.Also, Chaplin spoke during the whole film. Hell he spoke in many of his later endeavors. Great clip . Misleading title.....
This is a beautiful speech- what would he have thought, if he knew that his speech was being watched on a computer, on youtube, but hundreds of people? Makes you think, I guess.
Why do you call this a "rare" clip? It's from "The Great Dictator," one of his most famous films. As an actor and director, he made no less than five "talkies."
BRAVOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charlie Chaplin for President! (okay a dead president might not work, but heh...the live ones would do well to catch his spirit!)
It's not rare footage. It's a clip from the movie The Great Dictator directed by Charlie Chaplin who also starred in it. He had a great disdain for Hitler because Adolf's permanent disgrace of the pencil mustache.
WOW, truly an intelligent man with much insight. He is talking of things coming even more true in our time. We are watching AND taking part in these very things as they are unfolding before our eyes.
I wouldn't say "greed" has corrupted men, but fear. Such fear provokes men to earn so much money that they can control the future-- far more money than mere greed could ever require.
@animlnitr8 the medical mafia aren't interested in science or progress, all they know is greed. they exploit science in order to make money and stifle progress in order to continue making money.
good speech, but is he not asking for a utopia where the majority would vote for everyone's benefit including the minority? it cannot happen as he said people are greedy, there can be no democracy just as there cannot be a dictatorship.
@delgande "but is he not asking for a utopia where the majority would vote for everyone's benefit including the minority?"
what's wrong with that? we might never get there but the more we strive for it we might actually get something close to it or at the very least something better than the tyranny of lies under which we live today.
Amazing stuff this. Still as relevant today as it was back in 1940 when this was first shown during the dark days of WW2. The greatest denounceation of totalitarianism I've ever heard in a feature film. Chaplin should of certainly have got an Oscar for this. It brings me almost to tears when I see it. Chaplin should have done even more sound movies then he did, he had great voice as good as any of the other movie stars that were around at the time.
Yes indeed! We will destroy personal liberty and create democracy in our image. We will destroy the evils of Capitalism. Communism is the only way to equality and we will rule by default.
@hekesq One of his great films other than the Gold Rush made in 20s or City Lights. Such an important satire film on Hitler or any form totalitarianism, but mind you many criticised him at the time for not making the film much earlier before war had started. By 1940 events had overtaken the film's effectiveness. Most of continental Europe had already been overrun by Nazi Germany.
Chaplin's pa-roding of Hitler's mannerisms in this final scene from the film, is truly amazing.
Why oh why has no one ever taken heed from these wise words, whether scripted or not, these words were brought together because that is what people feel.
What I wanna know is how in the HELL can 8 ppl hate this??? Charlie Chaplin once said that he wished that he hadn't made "The Great Dictator" as a comedy. I'd like to get this on DVD somewhere!!
and these words have been said so many times, and for so long.... now we do have the internet, in Mr chaplins day not.... so what are we waiting for exactly??
Don't know much about Mr. Chaplin, but BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!
And it is very sad the way people treat one another on the Internet and in the so-called "Real World"! Its as if most people are nothing more than perpetual 5 year olds who can only throw tantrums when they don't get their way.
Sad, sad, sad! Sometimes I wonder why we even condsider ourselves to be "civilized".
@DemePoole I often feel embarrassed to be part of the human race when I read the the disgraceful comments on Youtube videos. I don't know anyone in my actual life who talks to others the way so many do on Youtube.
@WolfgangHolzmann I agree. It is very embarrassing, indeed! I'm not angel, but I try my best to behave in a mature and civilized manner. Over the years I have learned to ignore people who choose to spew filth, because they feel "protected" by the false veil of "anonymity" that the Internet provides. Well, stupid is as stupid does.
@WolfgangHolzmann Oops! I meant, I'm NO angel! LoL! I remember my days on AOL battling it out against 3 or 4 idiots at once! Inevitably, somone always wanted to "meet up and fight". LoL! Really? Oh, those were the days! :-)
@DemePoole he was a very famous actor when film theaters first opened up. very funny actor. in this film as u can tell by the moustache he was supposed to imitate adolf.
he makes a very good case to suck you in at the beginning, i would follow the first minute or two very contently, nearing the end he begins to preach about "us ALL" needing to fight though... wtf is that?
@Funguy42O Inaction is action. If you do not fight, then you are condemning the world to slavery by "brutes". If you do not fight, then you are rejecting your power, and are cattle. If you do not fight, THEN YOU WILL NOT WIN! IF YOU SIT THERE PLACID, THEN YOU WILL NOT BE FREE!
@Sqiwamjon Yeah, because there are evils in the world who don't readily give up such things like kindness, love, beauty, and freedom, without a fight.
@jenlight I think it was not meaning that the clip was rare insomuch as the fact that Charlie Chaplin SPEAKING was rare. If you asked 90% of people today, they only would know about Charlie Chaplin through Johnny Depp's pantomime of him in Benny and Joon.
oi g0rbas check yaself :-P shame bout the de"mock"racy rant bit....would make a perfect communist speech....hummm an edit maybe....i would'nt dare mess with such genious....someone will though i guess hah!
At the time of viewing this great clip, I noticed there were 982 LIKES & 5 DISLIKES. I believe in democracy & freedom of thoughts. . . But why would anyone dislike this speech?!
@amafuji What you say is nonsense mate, it's only unobtainable because of small mindedness and greed. Do you fall into one of those catagories? I hope not.

At the time of viewing this great clip, I noticed there were 982 LIKES & 5 DISLIKES. I believe in democracy & freedom of thoughts. . . But why would anyone dislike this speech?!
