the only person i've ever seen actually look good with that 'stache is charlie chaplin. the only acceptable use of the toothbrush mustache is in a silent comedy film with a wacky guy sporting a tophat and cane.

The only other person is Hardy from the Laurel and Hardy duo. If he didn't have his stash, he would look like a giant baby.

Hitler hated being compared to chaplain too. It was verboetan after they took power.

The Great Dictator is an outstanding film btw

Yeah, great speech and great ending to a film, but I recommend that everyone watch the entire movie.

Not only is it a great satire (that was made in 1939-40), it's fucking hysterical.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agreed. That's exactly the clip that got me to watch the whole movie.

We're upside down

I know it.

Hitler was confirmed to have watched Chaplin's film The Great Dictator. , but he did not comment on it. Chaplin said that he would give anything to know what he thought of it.

It didn't look terrible on Michael Jordan with the matching soul patch. It didn't look good but it wasn't terrible.

He was the right person to check if it was still too soon.
