If you loved Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, try The Great Dictator

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Great Dictator is

A small European town, pre-war tension, a barber's scissors snapping. A Jewish barber dodges storm troopers, a dictator's voice booms over loudspeakers, a double's awkward mimicry unfolds. Chaplin critiques fascist regimes with sly satire.
