On the point! But I feel less and less optimistic that something will change in our lifetime. We spend less time with little ones, we talk to them less in order to change back wheel of history. Children which spend more time in solitude tend to return to primal instincts of self preservation - selfishness. So if we want to change ongoing trend we need to stop using term me and try to substitute it with term us in our day to day lives

Very well said. I was thinking the exact same thing but wasn't sure if I wanted to post it as my reply, then scrolled down and saw you'd already said it. :D

Good post.
Humans never seem to learn from the past.
Our hubris will be our downfall.
Sadly we are "educated" to believe we are at the peak of our evolution however I believe we are devolving as a species.
Reality TV and it's ratings is a great example of the idiocracy we currently live in. A modern day " bread and circus" for the masses programming people to embrace stupidity.
Divide and conquer is a millennia old control mechanism that still seems to work adequately in our era.
Until we realise this and seek to break the chains of mass control by a corrupted media under the influence of an even more sick and twisted Oligharchy I fear that world peace and an end to war is impossible.

This is a great masterpiece by Chaplin from 1940. Highly recommend watching the entire movie, The Great Dictator.

I've always loved this speech :) Very moving.
Fun fact: My grandma used to live next to Charlie Chaplin (according to her) and she remembers peeking over the fence to spy on a nude, private party he was throwing :D

I agree, for a speech as old as this, but still speak the truth of what's happening right now is truly something to think about and ask your self what has man truly accomplished throughout the centuries and still the same struggles linger on?

Brilliant. I had no idea that speech existed until seeing it here now. Incredible that it was written 77 years ago, it seems very much on point in this world we are living in right now in 2017. Awareness is a step in the right direction and I do believe more people are waking up. And I believe and hope that is starting to taking the world in right and better direction. Thanks for sharing this.

Good speech, the images are pretty powerful. It's sad so many people want to harm each other, but there are lots of people that want to help.

I agree with you that this momentum speech of Chaplin is very relevant today. Inspired by totally something different, I watch this movie again yesterday. Such a great satire with such great messages we can still learn from. You may like the post (here) I wrote on it. It also includes the movie itself and the Globe scene which is hilarious but also gives the message how crazy this guy was.

Cool. Was thinking it might be worth watching - think I'll follow through on that after this feedback...

It IS worth watching. I've seen the movie already several times; It is soo good, and knowing this movie was written before WW2; Chaplin had a good feel on what was going to happen. Also, I really like what Chaplin did, especially after WW2, fighting against the witch hunt the US government started to do; He got thrown out of the country for that in the end, well, he had to leave for his own safety. A true fighter against wrong doings and bad power and people!
