I`ve seen the movie a couple of times in the past and while always regarding The Great Dictator
as one of the great movie classics I also thought of his speech at the film`s end as a flaw, because
it did strike me as pathetic at the time. And indeed, I think Chaplin`s greatest weakness was his sentimentality
(which he shares with Capra, Ford , Jerry Lewis and Spielberg, but not with Buster Keaton!).
After viewing his speech a third time I changed my view on him being pathetic. It really moved me too,
especially the way his speech escalates in best Hitler style while conveying a completely different message.
But also keep aware, that the Bushes and Rockefellers of this world would happily go along with Chaplin`s speech
("free the world of national barriers"). A One World Government would be good thing - if there where no psychopaths.
