Charlie Chaplin is said to have added his 4 1/2 minute final speech to The Great Dictator imdb/title/tt0032553/ (1940) only after Hitler’s invasion of France. The speech both showcases the actor’s considerable dramatic gifts and makes a prescient, eloquent plea for human decency. So the idea of adding any kind of extra music, especially a composition by the frequently bombastic Hans Zimmer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Zimmer , might seem like first gilding the lily and then dousing it with lysol and neon paint. But we think this Zimmer track from the 2010 sci-fi head trip hit Inception imdb/title/tt1375666/ actually kinda works. Give it a look/listen and let us know what you think.
