"The Great Dictator" Charlie Chaplin (1940)

By appropriating the satiric tone, Chaplin denounced in his film "The Great Dictator" dictatorial regimes that plague Europe. Throughout his film, Chaplin draws up the caricatural portrait of Hitler and thus, incriminates the harmful nature of Nazi imperialism under all its aspects.
Unfortunately, the current recidivist nature of dictatorship and conspiracy gives more meaning to this prescient film.

"Avant-propos"

"The free press does not exist. You, dear friends know, I know it. None of you would dare give his personal opinion openly. We are the puppets who dance and jump when they shoot at son. Our knowledge, our abilities and our very lives belong to them. We are the tools and lackeys of the financial powers behind us. We are nothing other than intellectual prostitutes. ".


John Swaiton, the publisher of The New York Times, during his farewell speech
