Charlie Chaplin's memorable speech from "The Great Dictator"

Seventy years ago, Chalie Chaplin made this memorable speech in one of his best films—The Great Dictator. What a fantastic performance, and what a touching speech! It seems shockingly prescient, shining a light right here, right now, on us and our Situation. Thanks to Tony Ravo for sharing this. I haven't seen this movie for a few years, and it's good to remember.
