The Great Dictator (1940)

The movie, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, is an acclaimed satire and anti-war film set in a fictitious country that alludes to nazism. Adenoid Hynkel is a dictator who persecutes the jewish people and in parallel prepares an offensive to conquer the world. In turn, a humble jewish barber with amnesia is unaware of the political situation of the country, but turns out to be identical to the dictator. A cinematographic gem that highlights Chaplin's genius for combining humor with social criticism.
