That scene resonates with me too. Especially if I’m listening to Paulo Nutini “Iron Sky@. Gets me everytime. It does inspire.

I love this scene. One of the best theatrical ever. A speech of hope, of what we could be, what we should have been. Unfortunately about half of the US, who is now running the county, made the opposite chose. We have chosen to hate, to fear, to make scape goats, to blame others for our problems, to make racial bigotry acceptable, to willfully deny facts and science and to make ideology and party more important than county and unity and morality. I hope it passes but I don’t think that it will until the other 51% of the county decides they have had enough and are willing to do something a about it.

Too reminiscent of the beast Hitler. He should have been forced to walk into his own gas chamber and cremated just like the 6 million Jews and Gypsies he murdered.

Charlie Chaplin was more of a Democratic Socialist. That's why he had so much trouble in this country. His film "the Great Dictator" hit it all right on the head as to how Hitler could be and could come to power. The problem was that this came out of conservatism and the powers in America were very much conservative. Chaplin also liked much younger women, so that did it. This Chaplin guy might be a communist! God forbid.

I fear for my homeland.

Oh wow. I had forgotten about this. Thank you so much for the reminder. Shared on FB.

One of the greatest speeches of all time IMO. I'd like to see someone in power use it and meant it.

one eye reads and one eye looks at me

Agreed

Yes this is the speech that made me realize "This guy is not just a comic.".
