The Great Dictator (1940) starring Charles Chaplin

Adenoid Hynkel (Charles Chaplin) takes over the government of Tomainia. He believes in a purely Aryan nation and begins to discriminate against the local Jews. This situation is unknown to a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin), who is hospitalized after taking part in a battle during World War I. He is discharged, still suffering from amnesia about what happened in the war. Because he is Jewish, he is persecuted and forced to live in the ghetto. There he meets the washerwoman Hannah (Paulette Goddard), with whom he falls in love. The lives of the Jews are monitored by Hynkel’s guard, who has plans to dominate the world. His next step is to invade Osterlich, a neighbouring country, and to do so he negotiates an agreement with Benzino Napaloni (Jack Oakie), the dictator of Bacteria. (125mins)
