Frame Study : The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin

 Hello friends!


        Welcome to my blog ! This blog is about frame studying on the famous movie that Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin.  THE GREAT DICTATOR, based on an original story written, directed and produced by Charles Chaplin and released through United Artists; musical direction by Meredith Willson. At the Astor and Capitol Theatres.


        Let's have look on slides and frame.



When he was playing with a glob balloon the map broke up. That through we assume that  he was not stable to rule over the world as long as he wanted. Maybe That is the sign of his fallout.

As birds are no longer safe in prison but the situation of Jews is more dangerous. The Ghetto is like open jail. That we connect with the current situation of our country.



 

                The crowd goes wild when Hynkel shouts “Soldiers for Tomainia!”—but when he makes a gesture with his hand, they instantly go silent. That showed his control over them. In a final speech he doesn't make any gesture to make silent. It looks like I am here don't behavior against me.

  • Value of artist ?
  • Connect with Narcissism

              Another splendid sequence is that in which Hynkel and Napaloni, a neighboring dictator, meet and bargain. How Hynkel and Napaloni tries to show their power to one another. That one Dictator always wants to become more and more powerful. This particular sequence is portrayed as a funny way but it is explore characteristics of a dictator.


         Both Dictators wanted to take Photographs and Hynkel wanted to show their army and powerful weapons and all the things.  The public was also very enthusiastic about Napaloni. So we have to think about how we react at present time to this type of situation.

The final speech by barabar is a symbolic one and very important.  The way Camara works at that time speech is going on. We have two different kinds of look and frame.



This  frame we connect with the present time. As our government wanted to increase our weapons. A decade ago Charlie Chaplin made fun of that.




The character of Schultz, who was against him that's why Hynkel gave a punishment. Schultz tries to persuade the Jewish family to assassinate Hynkel in a suicide attack, but they are dissuaded by Hannah. Troops search the ghetto, arrest Schultz and the Barber, and send both to a concentration camp.



Thank you !!
