After dedicated service in the Great War, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin) spends years in an army hospital recovering from his wounds, unaware of the simultaneous rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin) and his anti-Semitic policies.
When the barber, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Hynkel, returns to his quiet neighborhood, he is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl (Paulette Goddard) and her neighbors in rebelling.

Ways of Seeing
Classic TV Clips Channel – By classic_tv_clips
A groundbreaking TV documentary about Art and Modern life and an award-winning BBC series with John Berger, which rapidly became regarded as one of the most influential art programs ever made.
At 28:48 Berger presciently predicts Internet commentary, but today, ironically, the dialogue has again become impossible.
Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb.
The idea of reproduced images, re-purposed as language elements in a conversation seems especially relevant in the age of Memes.
In the first program, Berger examines the impact of photography on our appreciation of art from the past.
It is interesting that he mentioned the ability to reply in the modern age. That’s what we’re doing now.
WE must have access to television that must be extended beyond its present narrow limits huh?
Like…. THE INTERNET?
Berger’s scripts were adapted into a book of the same name.
The book is required reading in even slightly artistically leaning classes
The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images.
The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.
My favorite part of the series was the school children interpreting the Caravaggio.
I love Berger’s attitude to art “experts.”
If an expert were to be there with the children instead of Berger, maybe there would have been a look of discomfort on his face as the kids got it all “wrong,” in his own educated mind.
Maybe educated people should make people feel freer to think, not afraid to.
Of course, when you’re doing hard history, there is always accurate and inaccurate, but is there really a right or wrong?
LOL… Seize the means of reproduction!

WMAC Masters – Ninja Challenge
Classic TV Clips Channel – By classic_tv_clips
BACK IN THE DAY THIS WAS UFC: My sons used to wake up and watch this show and lose my mind… LOL… But it was a failed live action video game/martial arts joke from UPN and the 1990s.
It was half American Gladiators, half Mortal Kombat and the woman who hosted this is Bruce Lee’s daughter.
The council has announced a brand new match and six masters have been chosen to participate. Tsunami is determined to win this match but Superstar thinks he’ll choke and makes a bet with him to prove it.
It failed like a fox, because Kids enjoyed this masterful piece of shlock.
In a parallel universe UFC evolved from this.

Ylvis Gullruten – Pie Jesu (2011)
A softer, more sensitive side to the duo. A perfect rendition of the Gabriel Faur’s masterpiece. Very moving in its own way.
