The Great Dictator

 The great Dictator a film by Charlie Chaplin whose role was a barber, it is a movie that dwells more on the Nazis and Hitler.  The humor in the movie I think is appropriate because it helped to release some tensions and emotion breakdown that people might have when watching this film. It is a sad thing to see the pain and suffering they went through during the world war, so humor in the film keeps the balance. In the first few minutes when he was asked to fire the bum which he did by pulling down the rope and falling down after that, I see that to be too funny, it was time for war and seriousness not time for jokes but as I said though people were being killed, yet still we had something to laugh on.

 And also when he gave his first speech to the people coming down off the stairs he fell down and was putting the blame on one of the soldier who was rather trying to help him, tell how they treated people even when they were not wrong, he however had to wipe his hands off after holding the baby which shows disrespect for the people.

Though the ending was not as comical as it stated but it was ok for a film of that nature and how serious the incident of the war was like. This helps to bring to light what the story was portraying about the seriousness of the issues.

My reaction to this film however, considering the scenes,  although was a serious one I think the humor in it was just perfect and appropriate for portraying the Nazis and how they behaved.
