"Even now, my voice is reaching millions around the world" He didn't know what meaning those words will have when he said that, here we are, so many years later and people still hear him. It is the most amazing speech i have ever heard, and he is talking drom the heart. He used he's film to send a message to the world.
I have a theory…. back then people used to communicate, speak to each other, tell stories and debate - they had little else to do! Vocal communication was everything! This is why, if you listen to people speaking from that era then they sound educated, well-spoken and erudite - that was just normal to them, and to answer your question, I’m sure Chaplin didn’t think he was special as vocal communication was the norm and by those standards he did not have a powerful voice. It’s really a shame that we have lost that skill.
We need such a voice in today’s time. He has such an impactful and deep voice. He'll always be in our hearts. A wonderful speech, every word of a his speech has a deep and precise meaning. Love it.
what a brilliant and perceptive observation .it's his light standing up to hitlers darkness. one of my hero's took this to heart .a young german solder {[ he was heinz Drossel's mate] on the russian fron who decided he wasn't doing it anymore , and chose a court marshal and firing squad for his stance,even though they tried to talk him out of it. he didn't get caught in the madness and euphoria/seduction of the little picture but could see the big picture and therefore recognise the insanity he was caught up in and say with the conviction of his life ,"thanks but no thanks". what a hero.i hope all whistle blowers can take strength and comfort from a speech like this when they feel alone and reviled. i'm continually amazed and staggered at the strength and potency of the ability of goodness to last and influence after years .so we can latch onto it and take sustainance from it. what a gift to humanity.talk him out of it. he didn't get caught in the madness and euphoria/seduction of the little picture but could see the big picture and therefore recognise the insanity he was caught up in and say with the conviction of his life ,"thanks but no thanks". what a hero.i hope all whistle blowers can take strength and comfort from a speech like this when they feel alone and reviled. i'm continually amazed and staggered at the strength and potency of the ability of goodness to last and influence after years .so we can latch onto it and take sustainance from it. what a gift this speech is to humanity. i pray that we have enough brains to not just listen to it but take it onboard
The most powerful speech I have ever heard, and the way Chaplin delivered it reminded me of Martin Luther King - Does anyone know if Charlie wrote this speech himself If only the world would take heed of these words, what a transformation there would be
He did write it.....The Great Dictator is a 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film written, directed, produced, scored by and starring Charlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films.... Chaplin was a special kind of brilliant.
Doesn't matter whether he got a role to do this but his words and the way he speaks is all that it takes to give him love, honour and respect even though he has left this beautiful world
Whenever I see this concluding portion of "The Great Dictator" I am incredibly moved by Chaplin's heartfelt, passionate words and his humanity. The words are made more poignant given that they were spoken as Hitler plunged Europe into WWII.
This clip gave me goosebumps on first viewing. And tearing it apart afterward, looking at the true depth and meaning behind it makes it even more profound. It's amazing how relevant this is, over half a century later. The man was much more intelligent than he's credited for. We need more people like this.
Chaplin's speech rings more true today as when these words were first spoken! These words fill me with hope that we all can be better! Better towards one another, better for our children and to be the best that we ourselves can be!
One of the smartest men who had ever lived and made it to a generation where he could see movies on screen with words plus switch up his own and see them advance so much!
This made me cry. Such powerful words of poetry (in my sense this is a type of it). He was such a beautiful man...in mind and physically. He was a wonderful man of few words, the humble, brilliant Chaplin.
Pretty cool, some of Charlie Chaplin's best work. Hope they release this and all his films on Blu-ray soon so a whole new generation can see his genius.
I find this scene amazing especially when you take into account, this is the first film Chaplin actually spoke in and he comes out with this amazing and heart striking speach
Back in high school, my history teacher showed us this movie when we were studying WWII. He then referred to this scene as "the greatest speech you'll never hear". Years later when I found this movie on DVD, I didn't hesitate to buy it.
i'm rediscovering Chaplin on youtube, now i want to buy the movie (92) that i remember loving and all his movies. he deserves every praise he gets, he trully was an all around great artist and intelligent humbling being.
Listen to every single word he says..! This is a GREAT video man! Thank you for posting this, i never actually heard his voice before.. Burn down Babylon machinery! -Peace & Love-
Thats the way good hearted people talk. Thats the way a clear soul express love for the others. The power to create happiness. Lets use this power. Thank you Charlie. You are forever.
what a wonderful man, with a beautiful soul so filled with grace.. and this message reached millions.. and still yet, millions more, traveling not only through different lands, but throughout the ages as well.. touching hearts and minds nearly a century later.. you were before your time, and were made to suffer for it; your genius and grace still touches so many.. as the truth can not be extinguished or stamped out, the truth can not be rewritten or ignored.. rest in peace old friend.
They always say Chaplin's voice killed his career, I would have been so impressed by this speech. He's got a great voice. And how could they not love that crazy hybrid accent.
I find this scene amazing especially when you take into account, this is the first film Chaplain actually spoke in and he comes out with this amazing and heart striking speach
this speech is awesome. I have never seen scenes from this movie before but it is so full of sense and .... because of a lack of words i will remain silent.
i went out an bought the Charlie Chaplin Collection volume 1&2 on monday LOL a christmas gift from me to me and probably the best one ever! i watched City Lights. beautiful. and i look forward to watching a movie every night :)
watch his eyes. He starts out looking out of camera range. Then, slowly, evr so slowly, his gaze shift to the camera until he is looking directly at the viewer! This suble change times beautifuly with his words, creating and then building the connectetion between him and the viewer. It is part of what makes this so emotionally effective and stirring.
After all those silent movies this guy REALLY needed to get something off his chest.
Ikr
12 years ago really....
Success sir
This is the first time I've heard his voice.
Same
yep
Same
Me also
Same
This is the greatest speech I've ever heard... Charlie Chaplin was such a brilliant person.
Rest in Peace
And yet we still miss him.
You all know that god always takes good person always
May be the greatest speech from the greatest actor....

Perhaps all his years of silence were just preparation for this important speech.
December 25, 1977, was a sad, sad day for the world. May he always live on in our memory.

He had some illness related to his voice. He lost his voice during a drama
Imagine someone speaking these words today. It's just as true now as it was generations before us.

Charlie Chaplin is a legend. Ive always loved his work.
part of the brilliance of this speech is that it is delivered in the same style as Hitler gave his speeches.

Wow, the first time I hear him speak, I have even greater respect for him. Legend.
One of the greatest speeches I ever heard.
Really great speech. Especially for his first (Or one of the first) talking pictures.
Doesn't matter whether he got a role to do this but his words and the way he speaks is all that it takes to give him love, honour and respect even though he has left this beautiful world
what an amazing speech!!...it's not just acting,it comes from the heart!!...respect to a wonderful human being: Sir Charles Chaplin!!
Whenever I see this concluding portion of "The Great Dictator" I am incredibly moved by Chaplin's heartfelt, passionate words and his humanity. The words are made more poignant given that they were spoken as Hitler plunged Europe into WWII.
love how Chaplin was amazing at Silent Films, yet he still managed to do one of the best monologues ever! ironic! :) xx
3/4 of a century later, and this is still a great speach. Although aimed at WWII, These words are timeless.
Words can't express how he delivered this😭😭
I love his voice and accent
This was a very powerful speech. Thank you for posting it.

its amazing how closed-minded some people can be.
That's the central thesis of his plea.
Charlie Chaplin ♥
Awesome speech. Every word he says is so true. Everytime I heard this speech, I'm in awe.
When I look out my window, I see where this man lived over 80 years ago. One of the greatest talents the world will ever know.
The famous toothbrush mustache
my opinion doesn't matter infamous*
Was this the only time he spoke in his movies I love watching his stuff
so beautiful. so poetic. so true. he was truly ahead of his time.
One of the smartest men who had ever lived and made it to a generation where he could see movies on screen with words plus switch up his own and see them advance so much!
The great speak ever
Was this done in 2019? Fitting...
2020 and I still believe in his words.
OMG! Brillant acting, Brillant Everything!! The Great Chaplin!
Chaplin giving this speech is in his first and only full-sound film, well done mr. Chaplin!
Charlie Chaplin, from the movie The great dictator!
hmm I think I might have to find this movie
Beautiful puts me to tears why haven't I heard this speech before Chaplin is a genius I wish everyone could hear this.
This made me cry.
Such powerful words of poetry (in my sense this is a type of it). He was such a beautiful man...in mind and physically. He was a wonderful man of few words, the humble, brilliant Chaplin.
no matter how many times i watch this, it still can move me to tears.
Despite his sad and rocky life in private, Mr. Chaplin is still a very beautiful person.
Pretty cool, some of Charlie Chaplin's best work.
Hope they release this and all his films on Blu-ray soon so a whole new generation can see his genius.
It's amazing how I can watch this speech anytime and still it's just and amazing as the last time I listened to it.
I find this scene amazing especially when you take into account, this is the first film Chaplin actually spoke in and he comes out with this amazing and heart striking speach
i remember seeing this a few years ago and thinking it had one of the most incredible monologues ever. I'm glad some other people agree.
Back in high school, my history teacher showed us this movie when we were studying WWII. He then referred to this scene as "the greatest speech you'll never hear".
Years later when I found this movie on DVD, I didn't hesitate to buy it.
Hes a good man, I miss you harlie, I had the oppurtunity to meet you in 1965 ! Great man !

I love Charlie Chaplin, classic comedy. This is the FIRST time i've heard him talk. This is a special moment.

It is a timeless and passionate plea, which needs to be heard regularly, lest we forget.
Look at his face at 3:45. The feeling..! It's something undescribeably great!

For the last time, Chaplin throws off the mask of "The Little Fellow," and tells the world what he really thinks.
