I didn't know where on the boards to put this, but I thought it was worth sharing, not only because of the message, but also because of the mime like capability Chaplin developed in his years of silent film production and which he uses, to my mind brilliantly, to tell a second story, as he conveys emotions opposed to words yet feeding upon them in a beautiful example of positive feedback at work.
It is important to realize that Chaplin's primary audience was American, but that the modern, programmed reflexive shudder at the trappings of the National Socialist rallies would not have been present in that audience. Particularly when Americans of the day were not all that different from the Germans; for example: American children were taught the straight armed salute in schools long before the Nazi's made it their own. Which meant that Chaplin's performance, like Shakespeare's Marc Anthony's funeral oration to Julius Caesar, had to establish the perception of the "Dictator" he sought through the inversion of the meaning of his words.
I suggest that no matter what one might think of Charlie Chaplin as a person, as a performer he was something quite remarkable, and this snippet tells a large part of the why.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999
