Dictator

Imagine a society where the government has stripped its people of their most basic rights. The corrupt, abusive government enforces extermination, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions, and other acts of sexual violence. Secretive prison camps operate where anyone who speaks out against the society’s ruler or its government is subject to starvation, forced labor, physical torture and other acts of cruelty. No one is allowed to use the internet for any reason, and all…

The Führer In 1889 a boy name Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria. The boy wanted to become a great painter, but despite his efforts, he received little to no recognition from his peers, and ended up living in poverty in Vienna. As a man of German descent, he came to dislike Austria referring to it as a “patchwork nation” for it had various ethnic groups. He later moved to the German city of Munich.

constrict, and we counteract the world around. If placed in a nerve racking situation, we strive to make it positive, it is what we do. There was quote I have always enjoyed from the prominently silence actor, Charlie Chaplin in the 1940s film, The Great Dictator, he says, “...we think too much, and feel too little.” I like to think of myself as someone who always wants to experience life, both the ups and the downs. It's a little difficult to cram 19 years of life into 3 minutes. But I hope…

There were many reasons why so many people turned to dictators in 1930’s. People in Germany were just coming out of a recession and many were unemployed. This led them to feed into the empty promises that dictators such as Adolf Hitler, promised them. Germans were desperate and were willing to do whatever it would take to supply for themselves and their families. Whether they believed that their dictator would truly make their country thrive again or not, did not matter. All of the people needed…

Adolf Hitler: Dictator, Radical, and Normal? Hitler is known mostly for the villainous ideas or actions, but what many don't know is at the time of his era his ideas were considered ordinary. When Hitler was younger he was a smart child who only did well in classes that interested him.

are renowned for rallying the people to act for or against a cause, speeches such as I Have a Dream, to movies such as Brave Heart, in his War speech. Yet, a speech that shouldn’t be forgotten in time is Charley Chaplin’s speech in his movie The Dictator. In the concluding scene where he gives his final speech to explain persuade the people of Germania, that they are deceived by a tyrant who is leading them down a terrible path. There will only be negative consequences if the country continues…

Both Citizen Kane and The Great Dictator are widely considered to be among the best films of all time in their respective genres. Orson Welles’ masterpiece may very well be the greatest drama film ever created, while The Great Dictator became Charlie Chaplin’s magnum opus and was the most anticipated motion picture of its time. Although there are many explanations as to why these films have withstood the test of time, the cinematography and artistic choices by Welles and Chaplin stand out as a…

I never know what will happen from one day to the next. It goes to further reinforce my rationale for mistrust. We have grown too reliant on technology in our lives. I like old movies—one in particular, “The Great Dictator” features Charlie Chaplin. Though it makes fun of Adolf Hitler, I wish society had gained from it’s merits sooner. In 1940, he describes the television and the radio as devices that would bring us closer together. He anticipated that they would make…
