@Muhammed Khan no! he was such an icon and only known as a comedian, that people just never took anything from him seriously and even when he was serious, people started laughing thinking he was joking and being 'funny', it's like watching a mr. bean episode, when bean starts crying and you laugh cause you think it's an act, but it could be serious
He also said, "the difference between tragedy and comedy is distance". If you see a bucket fall down and hit a man on the head, how funny or how sad it is depends on how close you are to him. ✌❤
Remember seeing this film for the first time, its hit you out of nowhere, suddenly this silly barber spouting some epic speech, me and my friend just fell into silence and hardstruck, you need to see it for yourself to appreciate the grandeur of this speech...
@Ah mommy you’re too tight For me! technically speaking, that is an untrue statement, much as he does not care where you're from or what you look like, he does recognize where you come from and what you look like.
The full quote is " Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.

“Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men! Machine men with machine minds! with machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!” That part got me
Am I the only who got pissed off as to how they would constantly talk while the speech is ongoing? Like wtf kids, listen to the whole thing first before you reflect.
@@victoriaruthh I watched this for the first time and honestly, you can react to something after it's done. You're not getting the real message if you're talking during it. It's like talking in the middle of an opera, you don't do it when you're taking it in. Their commentary was also very surface level as a result.
Give an example? I'm not questioning you, just want to know what sort of things you have in mind. I think people say that things haven't changed, because I think perhaps a lot hasn't changed, or not that much in the 70+ years. 70+ years can be an entire lifetime of a person.
@@Neville60001 You probably didn't understand what's going on to that video (I meant Charlie chaplin speech) you gotta respect it, even tho it's a movie! It's a message for the whole world (not trying to be rude)
@@adamsbot3310, I don't give a shit about seeing the whole video (which is probably already posted elsewhere on UA-cam); I want to see *_the kids's reactions to it_* . That's the whole point of this video and others like it. Also, I've already seen the speech elsewhere on UA-cam.
@@Neville60001 not the point, how can you truly comment on this speech when you don't even let him finish? Or when you speak over him? Your opinion won't be solid. Makes it a poor reaction.
Its timeless, because it is entirely non-specific. Its empty rhetoric. It's beautiful, empathic, poetry, designed to pull the heartstrings of the masses to move in line together in support of the dictator.
They didn’t even talk about how most people didn’t go for his speech. They thought he was promoting communism. Of course they thought that before he made it, and just used it as more fuel to exile him. He ended up having his visa pulled and had to live in Switzerland.
Agreed if anyone liked that speech they would be inclined to agree with an anarchist, and if you ever collect unemployment or will collect social security, well surprise you agree with socialism. And Communism is totally different, it's meant to control ones life and to serve the state.
every time i hear this speech it makes me super sad because, the college kids ( and literally everyone in the 21st century ) are praising him for how right he is and how smart he is for making this speech but he was actually criticized for it when he made the movie.
In a song called "Iron sky" by Paolo Nutini, this speech was in the middle of the song.... And omg it made me shiver.... The man never spoke but when he did he said what no politician has ever said.... Hats off to Charlie
For all these kids saying "This is soooo relevant today" don't understand that the older generations see where all this social unrest will take us. They don't seem to grasp that we've been through this before, the names may be different but there are not many problems today that humanity has never seen before. The meaning of that old saying 'If you ignore history you are doomed to repeat it' must have flown right over these kids' heads. Every generation of young people have worried that we are a few years away from the end of the world, and every generation of young people believe today's social issues are completely unique.
"the more we change, the more we stay the same" this is basically what the speech warns of, because while we have advanced, and to an extent evolved, we haven't truly changed. the negative mentalities of old are still plaguing the new generation because of those in the older generation who have the problem and won't let go of it. new problems keep spriging up due to the effect of this form of aged negativity, and i personally agree with one thing that the speech is essentially saying, it needs to stop.
As good as the speech is, I think the phrase "we think too much and feel too little" isnt quite true. It should be "we EMPATHIZE too little", too many people using selfish feelings as facts
This came out 78 years ago and it's still relevant to this day. So many people have forgot about this and only care about how to get ahead of the next person even if it means hurting innocent people.
I feel like the message of Charlie’s speech will get muddled in today’s political climate. People will interpret it as “let’s unite against the left” or “let’s unite against trump” which only divides our people even more. It makes me sad that we live in a time where something that was used to unite is now doing the opposite
Jonah Reimann Yeah. A recipe that spells disaster. Individuals who care more about feelings than facts and companies that care about facts more than feelings.
@@ilovegreenday9291 no, still very true, and you've been conditioned not to see it... we've all been taught that feelings are bad and that logic and Nihilism is always good, but we are more than machines, more than facts, we are humans
“We think too much, and feel too little...” My Senior quote Class of 2018 Edit: I still added on too it by saying: “More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost….”
We can't just treat everyone like they're children that we need to take care of. People need to grow up, face the hard work and suffering of life, and learn to over come it. We can't turn society into the oedipal mother devouring her children.
"we want to live by each others happiness not by each others misery" damn that is so good but I bet I'll still get laughed at if I fall down a flight or two
The amazing thing is, that it isn't just relevant from then until now, but that it has been relevant before that. No matter where or when in history, there are always conflicts that result from intolerance and the need if certain individuals to rise above others. It's sad though, really
Malin M Lol how is this relevant today? We don’t have dictators like before, the speech was about uniting, sure, but it’s nothing like it was then. Today we take freedom and speech for granted and don’t have to fight for it. People nowadays don’t have to hive their lives, I’m talking millions of lives to make sure they have freedom. People nowadays just complain
Guys, seriously, thanks. This is such a wonderful speech and exposing more people to it, whether they be the reactors or audience members, is just awesome!
Man, knowing the whole speech, I start crying from the very beginning. It's still so moving and powerful although it's a long time since I first watched this video... It was amazing, and the movie itself is amazing and interesting. Should soon come into public domain, so everyone can watch it for free. =)
this is undoubtedly the best, the most beautiful, the most reasonable, the most lovable speech ever. Charlie Chaplin tries to spread the message of peace/stability better than any kind of political/social/economic theories.
Charlie Chaplin was such an amazing person, and to think that we as humans are still dealing with the problems that people were dealing with more than 70 years ago is just sad. And Charlie speaks the truth, we are not robots, we are not catel, we are human beings.
The film was actually written, and had started shooting just before the war broke out. Even the UK wanted to Ban the film due to its criticisms/mockery of a certain man… But the UK revoked that decision when we joined the war at the end of ‘39. The ending was also allegedly changed from a whole comedy bit, to the now famous speech where Chaplin breaks character due to Germany invading France.
Since you're doing speeches please, please have the teens react to Robert Kennedy's speech following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. As a follow up have them react to Robert Kennedy's eulogy by his brother Ted Kennedy.
It's great that you are giving coverage to this speech, especially as probably most of your audience is young and may not have encounter it before. One of the greatest speeches ever made (or at least broadcasted)
Hitting right before the end? WW2 started in 1939 this was almost at the very beginning (1940) not right before the end (which is even more astonishing)
This is the greatest speech of all time. This speech is just as timeless as most Disney or Pixar movies. And I think we need more of these strong messages in movies today.
We watched the great dictator and talked about this speech in history class in 9th grade (Germany). I can remember vividly how touched I was by that and I'm happy, that through FBE kids are being exposed to this speech again
People look at their opposition and apply these words to them. They point out how they are "machine men" but we have to look to ourselves and judge us aswell.
The Great Dictator is in my top ten films list. I encourage those who reacted and those in the comments to watch it. If I remember correctly from Chaplin's autobiography, that particular speech came from the heart. It's a fantastic movie, a comedy but with a powerful speech.
Something my 87 year kid grandpa has always told me was "if we dont learn from our past we are doomed to repeat it". We both share a love for history, and just my opinion I dont think our entire society has learned the history of the mistakes made back then, and that why nothing has changed because we keep repeating our mistakes.
Charlie Chaplin was a very wise man. Making people happy and laugh is far tougher and harder than making people sad and cry. It needs sharp and powerful mind. Rest In peace Charlie Chaplin
People tend to forget that some of the most famous comedians in human history have been really intelligent and introspective people. Maybe it's the fact that they're able to put everything in perspective to make fun of it, which eventually turns into the ability to see the complete picture most of the time, which puts them in a higher level of understanding.
I like that this speech has gained traction in popular culture, but I wish that more people would see the film that it comes from, the Great Dictator. Not only would you get the speech in its full context, you'd get to watch arguably Charlie Chaplin's greatest film.
It is sad that this speech resonates so well today , because it means that we are all tangled in the chains of the oppression that his speech is addressing.
When he talks about “machine men” he’s talking about the military who are men who take orders without thought. The military are the “machine men,” it’s not that civilians get subdued into being machines.
Our lives are too short; our capacity to maintain a wide perspective and sense of historicity suffers for it, in spite of all the knowledge we constantly hoard.
What is the meaning of a "revolution", but to go once around and end up in the same place you started? "The Cross stands firm, while the world is turning." St. Bruno of Cologne Have a happy Good Friday!
Humanity is like the moon. While people say it's constantly changing it always remains the same moon. It waxes and wanes the change is only perspective. Depending on where you live it might appear different but it's still the same moon. This is society, this is history.
Wasnt he like imitating Hitler’s style of speech. Start off slow and calm and slowly start to shout and raise the voice. And also was this about warning of WW2 and not to repeat history such as WW1?
I would like to see Elder's React to this episode of College Kids React. Especially the Elder, whose name eludes me, who railed against artists getting "political."
while the great dictator is still relevant to day and considered a classic. I disagree with the notion that we haven't advanced. Violent crimes, genocide, poverty, starvation, disease and war are on a downwards trend and tolerance is on an upward trend.
I remember using this in a linguistics seminar for the art in speech-crafting. It's a wonderful piece that everyone needs to look at critically and use it to compare to modern day life.

“My best friend is the mirror, when I cry it doesn’t laugh at me” The saddest quote I’ve heard from Charlie Chaplin
Damn
Not.
That's deep.
@Muhammed Khan no! he was such an icon and only known as a comedian, that people just never took anything from him seriously and even when he was serious, people started laughing thinking he was joking and being 'funny', it's like watching a mr. bean episode, when bean starts crying and you laugh cause you think it's an act, but it could be serious

Even the UK wanted to Ban the film due to its criticisms/mockery of a certain man… But the UK revoked that decision when we joined the war at the end of ‘39. The ending was also allegedly changed from a whole comedy bit, to the now famous speech where Chaplin breaks character due to Germany invading France.
Since you're doing speeches please, please have the teens react to Robert Kennedy's speech following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. As a follow up have them react to Robert Kennedy's eulogy by his brother Ted Kennedy.
It's great that you are giving coverage to this speech, especially as probably most of your audience is young and may not have encounter it before. One of the greatest speeches ever made (or at least broadcasted)
Humans never really change. History always repeats itself
This speech that he did was wonderful and powerful. I listen to it all the time in hopes that we fight back.
Coldplay actually began their show with this speech and transferred into their first song. I started crying it was so beautiful
Every generation has too see this speech and learn of the good ole Chaplin.
Hitting right before the end? WW2 started in 1939 this was almost at the very beginning (1940) not right before the end (which is even more astonishing)
Wow Hilter’s speech translated to English makes me understand how he came to power... 🤫
This is the greatest speech of all time. This speech is just as timeless as most Disney or Pixar movies. And I think we need more of these strong messages in movies today.
Rudy Hernandez true
We watched the great dictator and talked about this speech in history class in 9th grade (Germany). I can remember vividly how touched I was by that and I'm happy, that through FBE kids are being exposed to this speech again
This speech actually got me to look up Charlie Chaplin and I researched him for like 3 hours.
People look at their opposition and apply these words to them. They point out how they are "machine men" but we have to look to ourselves and judge us aswell.
Carl Sagan 'little blue dot' would be a good follow up for this
If Ethan was there, he would say - It did not make me feel anything at all.
he is there
Not that Ethan, the other Ethan!!

78 years after "The Great Dictator," we still got work to do...
How?
The Great Dictator is in my top ten films list. I encourage those who reacted and those in the comments to watch it. If I remember correctly from Chaplin's autobiography, that particular speech came from the heart. It's a fantastic movie, a comedy but with a powerful speech.
Something my 87 year kid grandpa has always told me was "if we dont learn from our past we are doomed to repeat it". We both share a love for history, and just my opinion I dont think our entire society has learned the history of the mistakes made back then, and that why nothing has changed because we keep repeating our mistakes.
The time when people started laughing at Politicians and listen to comedians. Greatest speech
I watched this film in it's entirety several years ago, definitely one of the best films ever made.
For thousands of years we have been the same, this speech will always be relevant till the end of time
Wow, great choice to react to this speech! I'm glad you are having college kids react to older but timeless quality content. More like this, please!
Charlie Chaplin was a very wise man. Making people happy and laugh is far tougher and harder than making people sad and cry. It needs sharp and powerful mind. Rest In peace Charlie Chaplin
You have right.I wish you all the best.
People tend to forget that some of the most famous comedians in human history have been really intelligent and introspective people.
Maybe it's the fact that they're able to put everything in perspective to make fun of it, which eventually turns into the ability to see the complete picture most of the time, which puts them in a higher level of understanding.
I like that this speech has gained traction in popular culture, but I wish that more people would see the film that it comes from, the Great Dictator. Not only would you get the speech in its full context, you'd get to watch arguably Charlie Chaplin's greatest film.
when u get a burger king ad in the middle of the speech
It is sad that this speech resonates so well today , because it means that we are all tangled in the chains of the oppression that his speech is addressing.
This is honestly my most favorite speech ever, I was really surprised to see this as a video!
I love this community so much for requesting that
Whenever i listen to this speech on motivational videos i get chills ...
EDEN TWIN same
When he talks about “machine men” he’s talking about the military who are men who take orders without thought. The military are the “machine men,” it’s not that civilians get subdued into being machines.
I mean yeah he does say "soldiers!" at first
It's all people. Soldiers and civilians are all people. It was just military the beloved in hitlers words. It was the people.
It will always apply to each generation, because humans wax and wane but never really change.
Our lives are too short; our capacity to maintain a wide perspective and sense of historicity suffers for it, in spite of all the knowledge we constantly hoard.
What is the meaning of a "revolution", but to go once around and end up in the same place you started?

Humanity is like the moon. While people say it's constantly changing it always remains the same moon. It waxes and wanes the change is only perspective.
Depending on where you live it might appear different but it's still the same moon. This is society, this is history.
This speech is timeless, everyone needs to hear this.
Wasnt he like imitating Hitler’s style of speech. Start off slow and calm and slowly start to shout and raise the voice. And also was this about warning of WW2 and not to repeat history such as WW1?
Oh nvm the fun facts state it lmao
Btw Teens react to SoNevable or Launchpads(Novation)
That speech almost brings tears to my eyes every single time.
"History Will Repeat It's Self"
I would like to see Elder's React to this episode of College Kids React. Especially the Elder, whose name eludes me, who railed against artists getting "political."
while the great dictator is still relevant to day and considered a classic. I disagree with the notion that we haven't advanced. Violent crimes, genocide, poverty, starvation, disease and war are on a downwards trend and tolerance is on an upward trend.
EricArgyris that’s exactly what I was thinking during this video
It is cynicism speaking
Also the whole not having another world war in over thirty years thing is pretty friggin sweet.
Yes, as there are still wars and murders and such. but the overall trend is a more peaceful humanity as a whole, not less.
I remember using this in a linguistics seminar for the art in speech-crafting. It's a wonderful piece that everyone needs to look at critically and use it to compare to modern day life.
