Frame study of charlie chaplin movie...
Modern Times marked the last screen appearance of the Little Tramp - the character which had brought Charles Chaplin world fame, and who still remains the most universally recognised fictional image of a human being in the history of art.
The world from which the Tramp took his farewell was very different from that into which he had been born, two decades earlier, before the First World War. Then he had shared and symbolised the hardships of all the underprivileged of a world only just emerging from the 19th century. Modern Times found him facing very different predicaments in the aftermath of America’s Great Depression, when mass unemployment coincided with the massive rise of industrial automation.
The Modern Times
This is the movie which released in 1936.Its American silent movie.In beginning we can see the industrialisation effect. So many sheep are going and after that many people are going like sheep. We can find many frams like this. I have made presentation on that so it will help you to understand it.
Here also my presentation works on so it will help us to understand the scene behind comedy by Charlie Chaplin.
The Great Dictator
This is the one of the greatest movie by Charlie Chaplin. He made hundred and more than silent movie and he got successe.This movie is not silent but with script and dialogues. Charlie used many reality situation we can say socially and politically both way.
We can see the fram of work war and soldiers were fighting for nation.Jew barbar also was there but because the plan crash he lost his memory or we can say an Amnesia.
In this movie Charlie is in double roll. One is Barabar who is Jew. And other character is of dictator. We can see that Dictator doing copy of Hitler. We can take example of his speech. When he is giving the speech he try to imitate to Hitler. Everyone is cheering for him during his speech he raise his hand to stop them.. So it is a power. One side you talk about them and other side you also take them under your hand in a second.
Dictator want be at a top. He does not like that other man can come and he will take his place and be more powerful.He also has fond of making his own picture and statue, so there are two artists are working on that but, when that dictator wants.
This is the great speech by Charlie in this movie. That everyone has Right of freedom. Humanity is important than power, here I’m talking about which power through one can harm other not do good things. Here this speech is apply on to all human beings .
Democracy stands for citizens, fight for their beliefs. Vulgarity, lies and violence have marred the democratic process and animosity between those on the left and the right has become so personal, it’s easy to forget we’re all fighting for the future of the same country.
Even our present time is also fully engaged in ‘the politics of the moment, it’s valuable to look a step back and reflect on the true goals of a democracy. Charlie Chaplin’s speech at the end of ‘The Great Dictator’ provides an excellent road map of how a citizenry can conquer the issues that divide it and how a selfless leader should view the world.
At a time when the world seemed to be crumbling, Chaplin provided a call to action to revive the state of humanity. With the accession of a powerful delivery and a very stimulating emotional proposal, he effectively conjures up the deterioration of liberty and energizes to us to ‘fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.’
This frames along with the speech matters today.
Tale of two worlds:
. . The palace, where dictator Adenoid Hynkel rules and the ghetto- where Jewish barber struggles to make a living and survive.
. Beginning title
This is followed by a prologue, set in World War I, in which the Jewish Barber fights as patriotic, although ineffective soldier.
This prologue reminds the audience of the malevolence of machines, the horror of war destruction.
Ending scene:
The final speech is not given by the Barber character but by Chaplin himself, who urges for peace, tolerance and understanding.
The final speech of ‘The Great Dictator’ remains relevant and likely will remain valuable in the twenty-first century and as long as conflict corrupts human interaction and dictators stomach.
Hynkel performs a dance with a glob of the world,
This is one of the greatest moment of Chaplin’s satire on Hitler and the rise of dictators is the scene in which Hynkel performs a dance with a globe of the world. Perhaps this scene requires no words to convey Chaplin’s message. Hynkel performs a graceful, seductive ballet with a balloon globe, a wonderful symbol of his maniacal dream of processing the world for his pleasure.
Yet when he believes he has it within his grasp, the bubble literally bursts. This is Chaplin’s symbolic comment on the futility of the dictator’s aspirations and reflects his optimistic belief that dictators will never succeed.
