In his first talkie, 'The Great Dictator', Charlie Chaplin offered both a ferocious caricature of Hitler and a smart version of his own funny persona: a cruel & ridiculous dictator and a kind Jewish barber who's mistaken for him! The movie came out in 1940, right before the U.S. got involved in World War II and culminates in Chaplin’s famously impassioned plea for tolerance... slightly tweaked here by j. boswell as a digital era tribute - to a universal genius.
