Even Though It's Breaking: On Barbarism and Barbers | The Great Dictator (1940) To be bold, to dare to be stupid: this single frame in The Great Dictator is the most essential frame occurring in Charles Chaplin’s filmography.

"This is a still from Charles Chaplin’s 1940 film, THE GREAT DICTATOR. It occurs at approximately the 1:59:32 mark. If our home releases and prints are different, the most important context for this essay is that we discuss the split second before Charles Chaplin speaks the film’s final speech."
