影片摘要
此演說是截自電影《大獨裁者》中的片段，電影於1940年首映，它尖銳諷刺了納粹主義和阿道夫·希特勒，演說者是一個沒有名字的猶太理髮師因和Hynkel長得太相似，所以被誤認帶去Tomainia的首都去做一場勝利演說，而這場演說成為全戲的高潮，他公然要求在政治上對抗法西斯主義。
重點摘句
- "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.''
- ''The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.''
- ''You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. ''
- ''By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.''
- ''Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us unite!''
問題與討論
本部電影是卓別林首部有聲電影，也是他票房最好的戲之一，當時是二戰前美國對納粹主義的恐慌還未完全爆發，卓別林此作就已經震撼人心，並對希特勒、法西斯主義、軍國主義和納粹主義以諷刺手法譴責，在如此特殊的背景之下對於最後卓別林設計的理髮師演講提出以下問題:
- 若此演說能在當時的德國廣為流傳，是否可以影響效忠納粹的人民們，使他們重新反思這樣的極權愛國主義、種族主義、反猶太主義等等的極端價值觀念，對於德國、德國人民是合適的嗎？
- 卓別林成功地以諷刺幽默的手法批評的納粹與希特勒，同時達成宣揚美國民主自由的目的，然而在當時即將戰爭的背景下，追求民主自由有可能成為將共同體傷害降至最低的方法嗎？還是另有途徑？
