    Here is the final speech taken from The Great Dictator. You didn’t see the very last scene in which the barber tells Hannah to hope for a better future. It’s a very short extract, not particularly interesting to be honest, but we can watch it next week if you feel like it.

    Hope you enjoyed this film, see you next week to know the title of the next one !

  • Here is the song we are studying with the 5e2. A joyous and catchy tune and yet the sad story of a singer who lost his girlfriend...

  • For the next three cine-club sessions, we are going to watch The Great Dictator, a film by and with Charlie Chaplin.

    The Great Dictator (07/11)Here is a summary of this masterpiece:

    In English (try at least!), source http://www.imdb.com

    Twenty years after the end of WWI in which the nation of Tomainia was on the losing side, Adenoid Hynkel has risen to power as the ruthless dictator of the country. He believes in a pure Aryan state, and the decimation of the Jews. This situation is unknown to a simple Jewish-Tomainian barber who has since been hospitalized the result of a WWI battle. Upon his release, the barber, who had been suffering from memory loss about the war, is shown the new persecuted life of the Jews by many living in the Jewish ghetto, including a washerwoman named Hannah, with whom he begins a relationship. The barber is ultimately spared such persecution by Commander Schultz, who he saved in that WWI battle. The lives of all Jews in Tomainia are eventually spared with a policy shift by Hynkel himself, who is doing so for ulterior motives. But those motives include a want for world domination, starting with the invasion of neighboring Osterlich, which may be threatened by Benzino Napaloni.

    In French (a much shorter version for the less courageous ones!), source http://www.allocine.fr

    Dans le ghetto juif vit un petit barbier qui ressemble énormément à Adenoid Hynkel, le dictateur de Tomania qui a décidé l'extermination du peuple juif. Au cours d'une rafle, le barbier est arrêté en compagnie de Schultz, un farouche adversaire d'Hynkel...

    THE most hilarious moment taken from the film: Chaplin playing Hynkel, in other words imitating a notorious German dictator...
