A Jewish barber looks the same physics that the new dictator of Tomania, Hynkel (Charles Chaplin), who promotes a strong anti-Semitism that eventually lead to prison barber.Hynkel's Dream, allied with Napaloni (Jack Oakie) is world domination, and submission to their anti-democratic principles.In the midst of a hunt for ducks, Hynkel be confused with the barber, who escaped from a concentration camp, and he will take the place of the dictator.One of the great masterpieces of Charles Chaplin was the satire of fascism and Nazism, in the end of ideological totalitarianism and oppression.He assumed his first sound film and it really turned sharply and wit a mockery of Hitler and Mussolini and a prophetic concern for the implementation in Germany and Italy of the schemes mentioned above, even before the Second World War, since this film was released in 1940 but the script had been completed before the beginning of the war.
The emotional final speech in which Chaplin turns his ideas about human society and democracy has been mercedidamente for its dramatic intensity and felt true to the annals of film history.
The comic moments, with special predilection for slapstick, is used to mock its objectives and purposes little veiled (the Hynkel dance scene with the globe is another memorable moment of his career), and although not equal in his approach to best moments of silent film, it contains insightful and creative scenes full of sarcasm.
The film has a great characterization of Chaplin and a no less remarkable parody of Mussolini conducted by Jack Oakie.The beautiful and talented Paulette Goddard was at that time the wife of celebrated writers.
