Charlie Chaplin Speech Essay

To see Chaplin’s commentary on society, one must first look at how he uses sound to spread his message. Right from the first scene, Chaplin infuses his views on society with sound as he plays the kazoo to represent the high class men speaking when they are unveiling a new statue. During this speech, the view can see the tramp (Charlie Chaplin) behind them sleeping on top of the statue. With this scene, Chaplin is saying

Charlie Chaplin’s (1931) City Lights, is one of the last silent films to be released in America, that was successful, as the age of the ‘talkie’ was beginning. He was one of the few great silent film stars to successfully continue his career. Chaplin uses a lot of symbolism of life in this film, using flowers, blindness, money and of course the Tramp.

Conflict: Many Jews died from the terrible tragedies of the Holocaust. They were sent to these concentration camps to wither be killed upon arrival, or work to death.

In the speech your could actually see his face and see his different expressions and emotions, you could also hear the different tones of voice that he used when talking about different things. During the speech he said a lot of meaningful things, I like when he said, “Indifference, after all, is more dangerous than anger and hatred. Anger can at times be creative. One writes a great poem, a great symphony, one does something special for the sake of humanity because one is angry at the injustice that one witnesses. But indifference is never creative. Even hatred at times may elicit a response. You fight it. You denounce it. You disarm it. Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response.” I think that a lot of people can take this message in very different ways, but his is his opinion and this is what he thinks, and he is trying to get his point across to everybody in that room. When he is speaking he is speaking in his own opinion he doesn’t care what other people think, this is his opinion and he wants other people to try and see in his point of view even if only for just a short time. I think that even though this is what he is thinking he still connected with a lot of other people, he made big connections, even world-wide connections. Also when speaking it is easier to get your point across to the people instead of having to write a book about it, it’s way

When people hear the name Marilyn Monroe, mostly everyone has the same image in their mind of who this woman was. Some of the adjectives people would use to describe her are beautiful, glamorous, iconic, or even dumb. What people don’t understand is that all those words could be just an image that the media created for her. Marilyn Monroe was a troubled young woman who had a rough upbringing that haunted her for the rest of her life. All of that aside, she was one of the most influential people of the 20th century and one of the first sex symbols. People even consider her to be a legend.

This quote was chosen because Charlie desires to be loved, treasured, and essentially wanted like any human being would, but unfortunately his love was received in the wrong manner.

In the Holocaust people only thought about the deaths, not the little amount of people who lived. Today you are going to learn about a guy named Elie Weisel who was a Holocaust surivor.

The 1960's were a changing time for America. Soon to be gone were the conservative fifties as many post-war baby boomers became young adults. The youth of American was no longer content to continue with traditional thinking, it was a time for a revolutionary change. The changes would affect values, laws, education, lifestyles and entertainment. All of this would take place during a turbulent time for our country. The Civil Rights Movement, the Viet Nam War, Communism, war protesters, draft dodgers, political unrest and assassinations were all a part of everyday news.

Paul Keating’s speech ‘funeral service of the unknown Australian soldier’ and Noel Pearson’s speech ‘an Australian history for us all’ have developed and expressed ideas using language appropriate to their audience, purpose and form. Despite the fact, it is fundamentally the speaker’s skills in the construction of the speech that determine its decisive success.

Lyndon Johnson was convinced that liberal nationalism and the power of the federal government could transform society. His faith grew out of his youthful experiences with poverty in Texas, his political apprenticeship during the New Deal, and his desire to surpass Roosevelt's legacy. When he took office in November 1963, after John F. Kennedy's death, Johnson inherited the early initiatives to address poverty that the Kennedy administration had under consideration. With characteristic enthusiasm and expansiveness, Johnson declared a war on poverty in 1964 and pushed legislation through Congress to establish the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO).In this speech, the purpose Lyndon B. Johnson outlines his vision and goals for "The Great

Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Tramp character is often someone to laugh with, or laugh at, but not necessarily someone you learn from. The Tramp character is impulsive and reckless, hardly the standard for model behavior. Despite this characterization, the Tramp’s role differs significantly in Easy Street. He is the hero that the titular street desperately needs, a place where the depraved and deprived struggle to survive. The use of social issues in Easy Street is not merely to use them for the jokes, but to lighten the burden surrounding the subjects, and in doing so providing a more hopeful perspective: one where these issues are not overwhelming and the solutions don’t seem Herculean, but instead are presented as being within the audience’s begging grasp. The film provides relief by portraying issues a general public can be dealing with, and not treating them as these daunting things to be intimidated by, but to laugh at, since they can be solved, as the Tramp demonstrates, through religion and labor.

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

I hope you are doing well in your own country. Though you do not live in the now called U.S.S.R, I felt you should know what is going on. Most of the world doesn’t seem to know. After many years of being ruled by the Czars, we now have this new leader. His name is Vladimir Lenin and he claims that these communist ways are going to be the best for all of us. I suspect it will cause many issues. Not to long ago, Lenin was in jail for being a threat to the government, but now, he is leading it!

The biggest factor about Charlie Chaplin 's speech that really draws people in is its emotional factor. As the great dictator in the film is based off of Adolf Hitler, the format in which Chaplin gives the speech mirrors Hitler 's style. Like most of Hitler 's speeches, The Jewish Barber starts off subtle with a soft and gentle voice saying “We want to help one another, human beings are like that…” The first three paragraphs are given very softly with a touch of sorrow and remorse. Chaplin pitties humanity with words such as “More than
