A Mr. Filthy Rags Production -- I just wanted to put a positive message out there; I feel it is necessary to have a sense of balance.
I took a different approach on this video as well.
I feel that the message is the most important factor,
And so I decided to not do a literal video presentation.

This Speech is an excerpt from the Film:
" The Great Dictator " (1940)
This was Chaplin's first true talking picture as well as his most commercially successful film.
More importantly, it was the first major feature film of its period to bitterly satirize Nazism and Adolf Hitler.

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, anti-Semitism, and the Nazis,
The latter of whom he excoriates in the film as "Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts."

Enjoy...

-- Mr. Filthy Rags --
