Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" through a frame study Hello readers .... This blog based on thinking activity assigned by Dilip sir Barad, in which I'm going to discuss about the Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, frame study of this particular movie. The Chillingly Enduring Relevance of Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" in a Frame-by-Frame Analysis:  Charlie Chaplin's 1940 masterpiece, "The Great Dictator", is a scathing satire of fascism and totalitarianism, hilariously skewering Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime.

Frame 1: The Barber's Mirror In the film's opening scene, Chaplin...
