Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator
|
|
|
Have we forgotten anything while improving the material comfort of our world?
The speech in the accompanying video is from the ending of the 1940 movie, "The Great Dictator", in which Charlie Chaplin plays both Adolf Hitler, whom he mocks, and a poor but reasonably happy Jewish barber in Nazi Germany. Of course, the two identities get switched in the course of the film.
The words in this speech apply well not only to the war that threatened the world in 1940 and that took so many lives; these words also apply to humanizing today's world and changing the priorities from building wealth and technology at all costs, to preserving human values and the health of the planet.
