I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I
don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if
possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human
beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each
other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world
there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for
everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has
goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we
have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our
knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too
much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than
cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will
be violent and all will be lost....
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very
nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for
universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching
millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little
children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent
people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now
upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of
human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power
they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die,
liberty will never perish. .....
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave
you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to
feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon
fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine
minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are
men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the
unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for
slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within
man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people
have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make
this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite.
Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to
work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of
these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that
promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to
fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national
barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a
world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s
happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
he didnt want to be emperor because he doesnt like to conquer anyone, he wants that all be in harmony because the soil is rich and we arent by going down the wrong path and we need more humanity. We have to fight for a world in harmony and freedom
ReplyDeleteChaplin rejected to be emperor, because he didn't want the war, only the peace and harmony in the world. He want us to know that we will die, and the hate and rejection will disappear, but the peace will always stay.
ReplyDeleteChaplin rejected to be emperor, because he just wants us to live in peace and harmony because our happiness depends on us

ReplyDeleteUnjust wars are still produced under the delusion, people stand still manipulated by bad governments in favor of power and not happiness.

Chaplin is trying to say that everyone of us have the power to do good things and we have the power to achieve a better world without machines which steal our good thinkings. He's a brave man too.

ReplyDeleteChaplin says addressing the soldiers that the Greed has poisoned men's souls, they do not need machinery pero si humanity and do not fight for slavery, fight is for liberty. He alone want happiness.
ReplyDeleteChaplin think that while the men exist,the liberty never disappear because the people have the authority and we must join ours strenght to fight towards the liberty.
ReplyDeleteFor chaplin the important in the universe is the liberty and he wants to eradicate the wars that kills millions of civils wthout reason. Chaplin wants to be free and he is not agree being the conquer so he refused... He just wants liberty
ReplyDeleteFor Chaplin people can change the world. Although there are inventions, people are bad among themselves and they are the only who can change it. Chaplin only wants peace and harmony in the world and he doesn't want a dictatorship. He wishes to end the intolerance to get a better future.
ReplyDeleteI think that Charlie Chaplin wanted liberty of the people and a world where to find other's happiness is important it. Charlie fought against the dictatorship and the discrimination. Chaplin is a brave man because he taught that the people mustn't despise to other people and the war wasn't the answer for the problems.
ReplyDeleteThe text wants to say that we use all the new technologyes of communication that we have to join and finish with selfishness, tyranny, violance and not to promote it.
ReplyDeleteI think a great video because the man is a great knight because he does wan´t to rule anyone wants everyone to be equal and he wants everyone to be happy and live without hate the people
ReplyDeleteI personally think that Chaplin had suffered much with the theme of dictators; with discrimination, violence, war ..What we are looking for is that all humans together we can make a better world, that all people that love can not kill others. looking good. the happiness of all, want a better world, not only for if not for anyone to suffer discrimination
ReplyDeleteIn this video, Charlie Chaplin says that people have to get the freedom and they aren't machines , they are humans. They have to fight for their happiness and for this , Charlie doesn't want to be an emperor because he doesn't want to hate and despise to people.

ReplyDeleteIn this text tells us that to be free we must be together. It tells us that dictators will die and the power will be of the people. Charlie Chaplin doesn´t want to lose hope of out of misery.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Chaplin was a man very considerous with the people and was a celebrity person too. He fight for all his life and teach us that we must fight by liberty and happiness. He wanted that the humans will have courage. Personally i love this video, i think that we should remember his always.
ReplyDeleteChaplin was a men of few words, but I think he should have talked more. I want stand out one of his phrases:" Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security." because nowdays that isn`t really yet, and I think we should fight to achieve a world how describe Chaplin.

Chaplin what was argued that together we may do a better world but only if unguarded united and not govern a person can do whatever he wanted with others.
ReplyDeleteIn this fragment from the film "The Great Dictator", Charles Chaplin makes a totally contrary to the ideas of a dictatorial regime speech. He calls for hope and calls for the union of all men to fight for equality, liberty and better world.
ReplyDeleteChaplin wants to finish with dictatorship. He thinks everyone have liberty of thought, liberty of work… In addiction he want help every people regardless of race or nationality.
ReplyDeleteHe only want live in peace and harmony
In this video Charlie Chaplin critise the way of the world in this moment, and said that there fought for a free world and freedom of all people because people have the power to create a new world , right and free
ReplyDeleteCharlie Chaplin speech that everyone has the right to freedom and must fight dictators to get it, and live in a just world.
ReplyDeleteChaplin think everyone is quiet and the man have the power to make this life free and beautiful. This man want a dictator ship with out democracy.
ReplyDeleteChaplin asks soldiers in this video that they fight for a better future where the humans will be free, because we aren´t machines, we are the power and we will fight for its.
