Charlie Chaplin's satirical comedy, in which a simple Jewish barber turns out to be the doppelganger of dictator Hinkel (the political implication is quite transparent), is full of hilarious jokes and incredible coincidences, but it ends with one of the most moving and serious humanist messages in the history of cinema. The barber who has replaced the dictator with a fiery speech urges all soldiers to lay down their arms and stop being slaves to a cruel system.
