Chaplin was a man ahead of his time. In my opinion his speech from this film is the greatest speech of all time. It's scary knowing what Charlie fought for and fought against is still going on today. It's reassuring knowing this speech exist. As Charlie says, "You, the People, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure." Now in our own time with this pandemic coming to an end and people recovering from fear from recent politicians perhaps we too can unite, not just as a country, but as a world and "do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance." as another wise man once said "With our love we could save the world." Thanks to Charlie we are given some wise words in his speech and We shall Overcome.
