'''Description of Artwork:''' ''The Great Dictator'' is a satire of Hitler. He uses Hitler's own methods of propaganda by studying his style and gestures to mock him. The climactic scene comes when one of the main characters, a Jewish barber ( played by Chaplin), escapes from a concentration camp only to be recaptured and mistaked for the dictator, Hynkel (who is also played by Chaplin). He is brought to a mass rally where he delivers a speech on injustice. | '''Description of Artwork:''' ''The Great Dictator'' is a satire of Hitler.
