I don’t know really ever post because I seemed to never post the right thing in the right place so I tend to be a lurker, but I rewatched this clip tonight and it spoke to me in light of current US political events. Do with it what you will. Hopefully somebody will appreciate the context…

I love this movie so much, it's aged a bit here and there but many of the jokes still land. There are iconic scenes like him playing with the inflatable earth that stick in your head for years. And the speech....it makes me cry everytime. If only our goodness shown through brighter, what a wonderful place this could be. I seem to catch a glimpse of it every time I watch.

Great post, highly encourage all of you to go watch the whole thing sometime!

    If you haven't yet. Check out Iron Sky (links to Trailer on YouTube).

    This Movie is referenced prominently there.

    With a twist.

    The entire film is outstanding if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

    Chaplin had balls of steel to put it out in 1940.

    Try asking AI to give you this speech, it will tell you it violates it's T&C's

    Edit, they seem to have fixed this.

    Not it just says that's copyrighted they can't give it

    The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

    Yes. Yes, it has.

    America could't even get a great one!

    PS: Sorry this is not really funny but I didn't want to loose the joke.
