9th grade students rate Charles Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator' (1940)


After Friday's session at Casa das Artes («O Cinema está à tua espera»), today we ask our students to rate the film, the same way users in IMDb (Internet Movie Database) do. As we speak, IMDb users have rated The Great Dictator with an 8,5 average score (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032553/?ref_=nv_sr_1).



Students were also asked to comment on the film (vide comments section).

  7. The message is still very contemporany and it's a critique to a society that seems not to have changed Much since then

  28. I was already liking the film a lot, but then I saw the final speech and it was absolutely amazing. Although an old film, it really makes us think about our present situation.

  29. In my opinion, the most interesting aspect is the opposition between Hynkel's and the barber's speeches. Another part I like is when Hynkel is playing with the balloon with the form of the world and in the end the balloon explodes as the world will be destroyed if he controls the world. I think it is an amazing film and it still is right currently.
