I can’t imagine how I missed this when it first came around:
The audio is a slightly edited segment from Charlie Chaplin’s movie The Great Dictator. Yet it’s entirely appropriate against the backdrop provided here.
Please let others know about this video. If I missed it for two months, I’m sure others did, too.
I love it. I haven't read the original, and I could be very wrong about the following, however: I have seen a commercial with a similar but different version of this, one in which Chaplin seems to be calling for the dissolution of nations. I suspect he was a leftist. If so, it's deliciously ironic to hear this version put to those images. Whoever did it, well done.
