"The Great Dictator" is the story of a jewish version of Chaplin's character "Charlot" (hence the mustache, although it has been made tinier in this movie) who somehow gets mistaken for his absolute opposite, Hitler himself (film was shot in 1942, right, when most of the population didn't know about the Shoah, most symbols and names like Hitler, Mussolini were changed, probably to make everyone going to the cinema at that time to watch information clear that it was not the reality). When the character has to improvise a speech as Hitler, that's quite a climax in this movie...
