Ah. It seems that the advent of Sherliam was predicted as far back as 1945. Go figure. (Scene from "The Woman in Green." Starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock and Henry Daniell as Moriarty.)

You know what miraculous reminds me of? (Is it about the theme with the main character who is a superhero and tells about his identity to a friend who is not very worthy of having this knowledge because it will put him in danger?

This series:

No shit, his parents don't know about his identity and one of his friends is such an idiot that I'm surprised Henry wanted to tell him his identity anyway

Oh, Thomas, I think we know where this inspiration comes from

Although I don't know if comparing this series to Miracolous wouldn't be an insult to it

The Suspect (1944)

"Don't you think that an innocent man might be more tolerant in the cause of justice?"

"No, I don't. I think an innocent man might behave precisely as I have."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you."

"Why don't you arrest me? Here I am."

"I'd like to, believe me, but unfortunately I can't."

"No, you've run against a blank wall. You take my advice and don't beat your head against it."

Siodmak's direction is unflashy for the most part but there's a couple #of beautifully executed setpieces‚ including Ridges' asshat cop staging an impromptu reenactment of the killing and a tense 'hide the body'#moment involving a mischievous kitten (every film is made ten times better by the inclusion of a mischievous kitten)#more of a character piece than a plot driven noir‚ but i think all the better for that; as a psyche study it's in some ways ahead of the #game in this genre. ymmv of course; @bimbobussy was not overly impressed and found Laughton's character to be too #objectionable to be truly sympathetic...

"The Great Dictator"

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a production that everyone must know and watch.

A film from 1940 that aims to satirize the approach of Hitler and Benito and the ideology of Fascism. It is quite bold for its time and raises important topics.

The film has a really great cast, including: Charlie Chaplin as Adenoid Hynkel and Tomani dictator, Jack Oakie as Benzino Napaloni, Paulette Goddard as Hannah, Henry Daniell as Garbitsch and others.

The Dictator is Chaplin's first fully sound film, which was initially supposed to be titled "The Dictator", However, Paramout had the rights to it and demanded $25,000 for it, but Charlie said he wouldn't pay that much for two words.

As we know, the main character is inspired by a real historical figure and in a country where this figure had such important influence, the film was banned until 1998. Charlie didn't speak German in the film, he just improvised, which is why the initial speech is not written in the script. During Hynkel's speech, the only intelligible word is "Schnitzel". Chaplin later joked that it was simply the only German word he knew. The idea for the film came from Chaplin's friend Alexander Kord, who first noticed that the Tramp's character resembled Hitler. Only then did Chaplin notice that he was born in the same week as Hitler, that he was almost the same height as him and the same weight.

Of course, September 1, 1939 is a terrible date. I am of Polish origin and my relatives experienced it quite hard, as did my country. However, I think that the film is really good and shows the views of the dwarf Austrian in a funny way, and the final speech is really very moving and worth remembering. It's very beautiful that someone dared to make fun of this monster.

Time for a summary.

Adenoid Hynkel comes to power in Tomania. He wants to take over the entire world, but the neighboring country, Austerlich, stands in his way. Hynkel plans an invasion, but he is short of money. He's trying to get money from Jewish bankers. When they refuse to grant a loan, he decides to take revenge on all the Jews. At this time, the dictator forms an alliance with Benzino Napaloni, the leader of Bacteria. The repression also affects the hairdresser, who looks very similar to the dictator. Stormtroopers set his shop on fire, and the barber himself is sent to a concentration camp, but escapes from there in Hynkel's uniform. Meanwhile, Adenoid Hynkel is hunting ducks. By accident, the dictator is arrested by the police and his place is taken by a hairdresser in Hynkel's uniform. He gives a peace speech at the rally.

The film is worth watching and I have it on DVD and I like to come back to it from time to time.
