Let Us All Unite!

This is Charlie Chaplin's speech from The Great Dictator. Chaplin wrote, produced, and directed this film in 1940, about a man who is mistaken for the local dictator ruler of a warring country. In this scene Chaplin gives a stirring speech of things to come. Instead of war, he pleas for peace, instead of hate, he promotes love, instead of killing, he wants life, and goes on to perfectly describe the machine men with machine hearts who want to rule over the sheep and bring them to slaughter. A very powerful speech with prophetic words about a bleak future we may be already heading. These predictions and insights are amazing. It will blow you away with the truth.
