Charlie Chaplins The Great Dictator is such a masterpiece. I hadnt remember watching the whole thing so I just did... Wow. Apparently, the NAZI German establishment were so furious about the film they banned all American movies from that studio in Germany after complaining to United Artists. Anyone know where Chaplin came up with the fictional name for the country Tomainia. Was it a play on the word Too Many of Ya? Thats my only best guess... That he was even making fun of the Final Solution and not to be funny but to point out how insane it was. Anyone know? Kenny Hotz? Anyone whos a Chaplin expert have any thoughts?
