It was a great speach back then - but even today, more than 80 years in the past have some value to it - and it was deadly right back in 1939/1940 when the movie was made... And it is rumored when Hitler saw the movie - he was not to furious about how Chaplin had made Hitler in the movie - even if the name was another - it is no doubt it was Hitler who was the target...

And Hitler saw the movie a few times until 1943, when he more or less stooped looking at movies even german ones - and forbid the movie all together already in 1940 - as he would not give germans any ideas.... And the movie was illegal for ironing in germany all the way up to the 1990s - even if overlooked for decades after the war..
