Understanding the Zeitgeist of the 20th Century : From Modern Times To the era of Great Dictator

 UNDERSTANDING THE ZEITGEIST OF THE 20TH CENTURY : FROM MODERN TIMES TO THE ERA OF GREAT DICTATOR

Hello, I am Emisha Ravani, Writing this blog as response to the thinking activity given by Dr.Dilip Barad. For The movie screening of Modern Times and Great Dictators. Here i will discuss frame study of The Graet Dictator.

'The Great Dictator' is a satirical movie rather than comic one. It is American comedy movie, in the time of 1940. And it is satire on Adolf Hitler. It is the movie which is very successful at that time and till today we can find. And the two main characters are like,

A Jewish Barber , Charles Chaplin 

Hannah, Paulette Goddard

We can easily find that it is about world war time of Hitlar, 1918.

This frame is showing that Hynkel party takes power. It means the dictator is going to kill many people.

Here, We can see that how propaganda is working by setting of symbol of own paery.

Adolf Hitler was one, Who had power of political speech. Too huge amount of people used to come to listen him. This is very significance to look to this frame, which is telling that "only the voice of Hynkel was heard."

This is how peaple were used to "Hail! Hynkel".This statue has satireical tone even.

"Ghetto" is the place where Jews were living there.

At the jew's places or shops, Hynkel's people come and write 'jew'. So it is directly atteck to economy.

Hynkel was so greedy to get rule over the entire world and this frame is helping us to see his greed.

How people were shifting thier self to another place cause of the Hynkel's harrecement.

The last statement of Hynkel is too affective as we can this only sentence How at last whe was craving for the real estimate.

The positive tone of entire film is this emotion of Hannah.

You can find his last speech here in above video.

THANK YOU
