Final Speech
From the movie The Great Dictator
- Excellency, the world is impatient to hear you!
- I do not understand that, he seemed really strange ...
- And that makes us Schulz with him?
- Forgiven guess
- Comrades, Garbish His Excellency, the Secretary of the Interior, Minister of Propaganda.
- Crown veniat electis, the victory will reward the deserving. Today, democracy, freedom and equality are words inconceivable. No nation can progress with such ideas. They are a hindrance to action, so honestly we abolish. In the future everybody will serve the interests of the State in all obedience, and woe to those who refuse to do so. To all the Jews and other non-Aryans will be stripped of citizenship rights, they are inferior and therefore enemies of the state, it is the duty of every good Aryan hate and despise them. From now on, this nation will be part of the empire tomanico and the people of this nation will obey the laws laid down by our great leader, the dictator of Tomania, the conqueror of 'Ostria, the future emperor of the world.- Now you have to talk- I can not- You! is our only hope- Hope ...- I'm sorry but I do not want to be an emperor, not my job, do not want to rule or conquer anyone, I would help everyone if possible, Jews, Aryans, men, blacks and whites, all of us human beings we should always help us, we only enjoy the happiness of others, do not hate us and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, nature is rich enough for all of us, life can be free and beautiful, but we have forgotten. Greed has poisoned our hearts, has plunged the world with hate, has led us to goose-step to make things more despicable, we have the means to wander, but we have shut ourselves. The machine has given us abundance poverty, science has turned into bugs, greed has made us hard and bad, think and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity, more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness, without these qualities, life is violent and all is lost. The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together, the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in 'man, cries out for universal brotherhood, the unity of us. Even now my voice is reaching millions of people around the world, millions of men, women and children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair! The greed that drives us is just a bad passenger, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will disappear along with the dictators and the power they took from the people returned to the people and use whatever means freedom can not be suppressed. Soldiers! Do not give in to brutes, men who despise you and exploit you, telling you how to live, what to do, what to say, what to think, that regiment, will condition, treat you like cattle. Do not give yourselves to these people without a soul, machine men, with machines in place of the brain and heart.You are not machines, you are not beasts, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts, you do not hate those who hate are those who have not the love of others. Soldiers! Do not fight for slavery, but freedom! Remember in the Gospel of St. Luke is written - 'The Kingdom of God is in the heart of man' - not one man or group of men, but of all men. You the people have the power to create machines, the power to create happiness, you the people you have the power to make life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. So in the name of democracy join this force, join all! We fight for a new world that is better, that gives all men work, young people a future, the old security. Promise of these things brutes have risen to power, they lied! Have not kept those promises, and never will! The Dictators free themselves? But they enslave the people. Let us fight to fulfill that promise, we fight to rid the world, do away with national barriers, eliminating the greed, hatred and intolerance. We fight for a sensible world, a world where science and progress will lead to all men the well-being. Soldiers, in the name of democracy that you be united! ... "
