Since the Oscars are tonight, I wanted to find a good speech or moment from a movie for this week's clip. This seemed like a pretty good choice. Here is the great Charlie Chaplin way ahead of his time in The Great Dictator which parodies Adolph Hitler. At the time of release (1940), the United States had not entered World War II yet, and was still at peace with Nazi Germany. Chaplin knew what Hitler and Fascism were really about, and made this movie at a time when the rest of the world outside of Europe was only starting to realize what evil he stood for. The speech is quite inspirational, and I feel its words are still appropriate in today's world.
