  • just great ...

  • Charlie Chaplin. The only man who can make us laugh with his silence, and make us cry with his words.

  • HO-LY SHIT!

  • I actually do not see how anyone could dislike this video... Does not compute...

  • BEWARE: This is the reasoning behind the NWO... fight to fulfill the Utopic society; do away with national barriers & capitalism; Fight for a world with "reason" where science and progress will lead to all man's happiness.

    sounds like illusion. Part Truth, Part Lie.

    This world is not the objective people. Please beware what you align yourself with. He quotes Luke, but doesn't explain it's the kingdom in our hearts, not the power we have on earth, "to create machines, to create happiness."

  • @Orakleh Kony 2012 is fake

  • This'll never happen.

    There are always sheep that believe whatever the government says, goes.

    And no matter how kind, caring and gentle you are, there is always a corrupt evil inside you with a lust for revenge.

    So until every last man and women dies on earth, this will never happen.

  • @mryoubar Revenge is over rated. Live and let die

  • this speech was 4 minutes of pure genius

  • you can see the passion in his face, deep in his eyes, all the way to his soul.... this speech really was delivered to us from Charlie Chaplin's soul.... Listen to it again and again, that ache you feel is your own Soul, that the evil taking this world has battled to suppress, stand up!! STAND UP!!!

  • agree with others that the MUSIC is TOO loud. edit it in lower

  • stop kony

  • Why is he Hitler? What is the background?

  • @berniel1991 Look up the movie "The Dictator" on wikipedia.

  • @berniel1991 hes a comedian, famous for his films where he never spoke a single word. he spent 3 months writing this speech for the film so that every word would count. he used the image of hitler to satirise how he took control but says the complete opposite to what hitler would have said. makes you think what the world would be like today if history was different and makes you think about acting in a positive way for the good of humanity.

  • Smiled :)

  • Not the best version.

  • this is the greatest speech ever told but the MMUSIC IS DROWING OUT THE SPEECH lower it please so we can hear the message

  • Music too loud

  • Im seeing alot of comments and i think alot of people are forgetting message. We need to wake up, we need to stop arguing about stuff that does not PROGRESS us. An we are at this point in which i fear for our species. We will not be able to survive if we can not master ourselves, and its sad because we have so much to offer the universe. If we just stopped and thought and looked whats going on..

  • your god is dead

  • What would we be if the human mind and heart and soul had never been so badly damaged?...

  • everyone should hear this

  • I am proud of a manly tear that I shed, during this speech.

  • music

    too

    loud

    please listen to what you upload before doing it...

  • @kommdochinmeinenstaa that's just your opinion, some people want the music to be loud

  • @kommdochinmeinenstaa

    speakers

    too

    rubbish

    please get some new speakers before listening to it..

  • knowsfords is correct. When communism falls to fascist dictators, it becomes a fascist dictatorship, not communism. When Socialism falls to fascist dictators, it becomes a fascist dictatorship. When Capitalism falls to fascist dictators, it also becomes a fascist dictatorship.

  • I like the original version better..

  • This needs to be seen by every man.

  • Comment removed

  • pass it around ppl... facebook...twitter.... Spread the wisdom so that ppl can one again remember the meaning of our lives....

  • RIP charlie Chaplin, one of the best actors in the world. <3

  • Now, THAT IS A TRUE ACTOR.

  • I was just searching for hans zimmer soundtracks when i stumbeled into this video.

    Sadly though this is the way the New World Order will be promoted

    As Great as this may sound

  • Just incredible

  • 40 peopel are socialist pig 

  • @TDH551 40 people are socialist hahahahahhaah. first Chaplin was comunist thats why he went from USA. second you dont know shit about socialism

  • Wow

  • i loved this speach! everyone in the world should listen to this

  • @kellytttt So agree to that

  • I am a Communications Major studying this speech at Western Washington University. Charlie wrote this beautiful work as a prelude to WWII. He saw it coming. This film was much more than just a film, it was a message that he hoped to give the world. Undoubtably this is a foundation that should be fought for by all people.

  • Having to wait for a commercial about politics to watch this seems ironic and it kind of makes it a little less meaningful, tbh.

  • Why the hell would anyone dislike this video?

  • Beautiful speech, shame I'm away to the army next month

  • @keith6544 Wish you luck, you will need it. I admire you for going to army ^^

  • @keith6544 You should feel proud

  • @keith6544 Great luck, thank you for your service, really appreaciate it.

  • how can something so beautiful make me feel so empty

  • @brick9is9red Because you see that the world has forgotten it's purpose. I certainly know that feeling well.

  • this brought tears to my eyes.

  • @iliveforthemoment I know that feel

  • Deep Deep like the Force!! I get the Chills everytime I here this Deep Deep and I a Huge Fan of Hans Zimmer's

  • LIBERTY!!

  • ITS TIME

    FOR NEW

    WORLD

    ORDER

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Dakeqyxw NEW WORLD ORDER IS ILLUMINATI

    ITS TIME FOR FREE WORLD ORDER

  • @Dakeqyxw NEW WORLD ORDER IS ILLUMINATI

    ITS TIME FOR FREE WORLD ORDER

  • @Dakeqyxw No new world order is illuminati

    Its time for FREE WORLD ORDER

  • @Dakeqyxw yea its called piss off.

  • This gave me chills amazing...

  • 3:39

    i would have thought the same thing.... saying moving words like that...

  • Damn this is the word!!! This is what we all need to live by if only all would listen and not hear what is said in this speech we can progress as a people n not just separate nations?

  • There will never be a time when man will attain the intelligence to view the world as Mr. Chaplin did; but that does not mean we should not try. Being willing to try despite the knowledge that you will never reach your goal is the quest of men who feel as he did, who understand what it means to love. Be that man.

  • this should be anthem of UN

  • Perfect.

  • 38 people are un-loved or un-natural

  • Charlie is my comrade.

  • I delivered a segment of this speech (starting 2:00) for my acting class today. The second time my teacher had me deliver it, he had my classmates lie down and he told me to pretend like they soldiers dying in a medical ward and I was to speak to them. Suddenly, the power of those words and the horror of such evil and brutal violence hit me so hard and choked me up so bad, I was having difficulty giving my speech. It was an incredibly intense moment. This is such a beautiful speech.

  • what's the song?

  • why would people dislike this?

  • @TheFreddy167 Cause some people are just that damn stupid

  • Wonderfull combination !!!

  • I'm Sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business.

    I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.

    I should like to help everyone if possible: Jew, gentile, black man, white.

    We all want to help one another- human beings are like that.

    We want to live by eachother's happiness not by eachother's misery.

    We don't want to hate and dispise one another.

    In this world there is room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone. 

  • The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

    Greed has poisoned mens' souls, barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

    We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.

    Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.

    Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.

  • We think too much and feel too little.

    More than machinery, we need humanity.

    More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

    Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.

    The aeroplane and the radio have bought us closer together.

    The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men,

    cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all.

  • Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world,

    millions of despairing men, women, and little children.

    Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

    To these people I say: do not despair- the misery that is now upon us is the passing of greed,

    the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

    The hate of men will pass, and Dictators die.

  • The power they took from the people will return to the people, and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

    Soldiers! Don't give yourselveds to brutes!

    Men who despise you, enslave you! Who regiment your lives!

    Tell you what to do what to think and what to feel!

    Who drill you, diet you, use you as cannon fodder!

    Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men! Machine men! With machine minds and machine hearts!

  • You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!

    You have the love of humanity in your hearts!

    You do not hate; only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural.

    Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!

    In the 17th Chapter of St.Luke it is written, "The Kingdom of God is in man."

    Not in one man nor a group of men, but in ALL men! In you!

    You the people have the power!

    The power to create machines!

    The power to create happiness!

  • You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful! To make this life a wonderful adventure! Then in the name of Democracy, let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world! A decent world, that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future, and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power! But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise! They never will! Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!
  • Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!

    Let us fight to free the world!

    To do away with national barriers!

    To do away with greed!

    With hate and intolerance!

    Let us fight for a world of reason!

    A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness!

    Soldiers, in the name of Democracy, let us all unite!

  • wow 38 dislikes??

    well they are only HUMAN!!

  • The combination of a beautiful speech, given by a wonderful actor, mixed with a stirring soundtrack that was written by a genius composer has just brought tears to my eyes. There's hope for the human race yet. :)

  • This is so streets ahead!

  • the 37 people who disliked this are idiots

  • this speech is just undescribable

  • I really wanna watch this movie :/ can't find it though

  • @CampbellsShutup Go to Thepiratebay

    Search over there, you'll find it.

  • @hiehoeha Haha I love you right now

  • @CampbellsShutup You're welcome :D

  • Did Chaplin write this? It's brilliant!

  • @DannyKubrick Charlie Chaplin wrote it, directed and fucking told the future if you ask me. It is amazing, and the icing on the cake is the Inception music.

  • @TheClassic0074 Yeah, its truly amazing. I saw the movie yesterday. Hanz Zimmer's score is truly epic, I have him as my second favorite composer, only behind John Williams

  • Comment removed

  • I Don't understand how people can dislike this ?

    This is the most Epic speech i've ever heard ....

  • Very nice blending of ideas here ... good job!

  • 2:34 - 3:00 and pretend Charlie is talking to YOU directly. Just feel that motivation flowing through your veins, and self-empowerment grow within yourself.

  • the music is flooding the speech. Still good though.

  • So inspiring.

  • AWESOME. Should be listened by every human.

  • I was sent here from the top comment of "Hilarious Commercials"

  • @MrFallout300 Me too!!

    

  • @MrFallout300 Then I guess this video is doing its job!! Reaching out to others who are seeking entertainment rather than a conscious state of mind.....

  • Amen brother! For the love of God, Let us unite and do what it true, just and right, wake up my people for the hour nigh.

  • Hans of Time

  • wow this is awesome

  • Internet spaceships is serious business

  • i dont like the title of this video Dictators speech. He well said many things.

  • @Laelisha the title is "great dictator speech" because it's from a movie called The Great Dictator. just fyi

  • I love in speeches when the speaker quotes scripture of any religion and applies a universal meaning to which we all can truly unite and follow under. In this case, love for everyone Simple ain't it?

  • Woaw!

  • GREECE LIKES THIS!!! BEST SPEACH EVER!!!

  • True then, truer now.

  • I find it so strange (and amazing). Charlie Chaplin is famous for his work in silent films, yet this is possibly the most inspirational speech I've ever heard.

  • I tried showing this to some people in my school..figures, they didn't understand/pay attention to it at all

  • best speach EVER!!!

  • this speech applies till this day

  • @PREZZTON14 and for the future generations, for as many as there will be

  • @PREZZTON14 it will for a long time

  • 37 people r fucking gay

  • @Pisa97 i understand what you're trying to say but saying it the way you did kinda goes against the speech. Gay as a derogatory is regression, just gonna throw that out there.

  • @Pisa97 So, you believe that claiming that a person is homosexaul also implies that they have reduced intelligence, so you are drawing a very broad originality.

  • @Edlopezpr

    I completely agree!

  • Stunning.

  • WOW! 

  • This is a clever idea (perfect score choice) but with all due respect the result is quite mediocre. Once the music level of the score reaches its cresendo the speech is shadowed causing a disrupting experience. If you could re-edit and lower the audio of the score to a pleasant level the results would be much better. The speech istself should remain the focus of attention for the video...the music is just providing a pleasent enviroment for the viewer.

  • @Edlopezpr I disagree 100%, the speech is the main focus in my opinion.

  • can't stop watching this...

  • There's an Obama ad right next to the video. How ironic is that?

  • @fershizzle912 Its how modern advertising works, this video is tagged 'speech'.

  • @fershizzle912 How is that ironic? 

  • La idea es buena, pero el nivel de la música es muy alto, no queda bien porque le quita protagonismo al discurso.

    It´s a good idea, but the music level is very high in comparisson with the speach level.

  • Thanks for ruining a good scene with stupid fucking music.

  • @G0dzukipwns Shut Up.

  • @G0dzukipwns thanks for shutting the fuck up, dumbass.. learn some decency you weak minded fuck

  • In the name of Democracy, let us all UNITE!

  • I would like to make a remake of this movie in modern day, using this song for this speech

  • Timeless

  • AS LONG AS PEOPLE DIE,LIBERTY WILL NEVER PERISH

  • I've heard this so many times but I still well up every time

  • was incridibly touched by this. So much so that i copied out the whole speech. I recommend to all people here, watch the documentary "Zeitgeist"

  • @ChappyBoy19 could you send me the speech sir?

  • @gchtteotd000 just type in google the greatest speech by charlie cheplin

    or "the greatest dictator" speech by Charlie Cheplin

  • when i first watched this i almost cried.

  • beautiful

  • its sad because its true

  • HE IS TALKING ABOUT OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO UTOPIA!!! It has been took away from each and everyone of us by those who created money and run the capitalist governments.....

    take a minute to think about the word COMUNISM!! ....comunity, tribe, freedom, equality, utopia..........THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SPEACHES IN HUMAN HISTORY

  • @keyproductions100

    He's talking about freedom, democracy and prosperous equity. Marxism has/can never deliver any of these.

    When I was younger I used to be a Communist too, so I don't doubt your morals. I'd ask you to google the following terms: 'Great Leap Forward' 'Gulags' 'Cultural Revolution' 'Daily life in North Korea'.

    Watch the movie 'Lives of Others', read the novel 'Darkness at Noon'.

    Consider these issues, and you'll discover that it's great in theory, but doesn't work in practice.

  • @jamesrobtonyadams im aware of all that, the proplem comes when small groups take power, utopia can only be achieved by absolute equality, living under absolute laws, with no corparations, the people shall decide and shall be free to take part in any activity they wish, with in law! but either way, a struggle lies ahead, for those who are power hungry will kill to keep their undeserved power

  • @keyproductions100 'can only be achieved'. You've entirely missed the point of what I've said - Communism is inactionable, since it is contrary to a number of aspects of human nature. The things you describe (absolute equality) are unachievable by their very definition.

  • @jamesrobtonyadams maybe!! but theres gotta be a better way than the way it is now, im sure you'll agree, we are lied to and kept in the dark everyday, from technology to space travel, have you noticed how they always send 2 probes on a space mission, and one always "malfunctions"....... its a lie, the public get the data from one probe and the government control the other one in secret. its a piss take, they brought our gold with paper money, work than one out!!

  • This is a beautiful, well articulated and awe inspiring speech, the sad part is just how relevant it is to today just as much as it is relevant to when he spoke these words of pure wisdom!

    Please people who view this, he doesnt refer to what democracy has become, he is referring to what it used to stand for and what it implies, Democracy today is communism was yesterday, we all need to take a standpoint that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular. but because it is right and just for everyone

  • Inspiring.

  • Brilliant.

  • Yes! Ron Paul 2012!

    

  • incredible, just incredible....

  • Genius

  • Ad-enabled? REALLY YOU FAGGOT?!  FUCK YOU OP!

  • @Macabremauve you seem upset

  • Charlie Chaplin wrote the movie "The Great Dictator". He himself was quoted at saying he wrote the entirety of the movie. He wasn't reading from a script, he was speaking from the heart. He was speaking from his heart. And with this being his first ever "talkie" (film that included actual speech), he does a pretty f'n amazing job.

  • Comment removed

  • You guys do know Charlie Chaplin wrote this, so all credit to him. Do your research.

  • I know this was scripted but most people can't give a speech such intensity. Most people giving speeches have writers behind them, feeding them words to spout out. Chaplin had a fantastic writer for this and gave it the perfect intensity and passion.

  • @NuggetandSkull not to mention he did it right when WW2 was going on!

  • @NuggetandSkull the reason he is so intense is because he is jewish and it was so close to the heart. He wanted people to know how he felt on this subject.

  • @NuggetandSkull

    Charlie Chaplin wrote everything himself...

  • @K4inan Thanks for being the fourth person to point that out and the second to directly aim it at me instead of the guy that said the video sucks because it's scripted and no one has that much power in a speech on the fly.

  • guys, he read this off a script, maybe you should thank who ever wrote the speech

  • @ipown4uftw

    I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure Chaplin is the writer as well.

  • @cdonnellon yes he did write this

  • @ipown4uftw If I'm not wrong, Charlie Chaplin did. Academy Award Nomination for Original Screenplay: Charlie Chaplin.

  • Well good moustache..... hebib
