The Great Dictator
Heh. Been whiling away my time on YouTube instead of studying for chemistry. And I remembered that brilliant Charlie Chaplin movie, The Great Dictator. You know, the one where he's in a double role, playing both an amnesiac barber and Hynkel, the great dictator of Tomania. The whole movie is an absolute masterpiece, especially considering that it was released in 1940, when the States had yet to join the war against Germany. I found two scenes on YouTube that I wanted to share.
This one you probably know, or have at least heard of: it's Chaplin being Hynkel, giving a brilliant imitation of a Hitler speech without saying one coherent sentence.
The Great Dictator - Stonk!
This one is from the beginning of the movie - how the barber became an amnesiac.
