This speech never gets old. Life imitates Art and such a beautiful speech. Chaplin was WAY ahead of his time!

Thanks for this, romantico.
A wonderful speech in an underrated classic. I did this speech in Speech and Debate in college (a LONG time ago) and it is wonderful and, as you say, timeless.

Posted: 7/7/08 at 2:43pmI just LOVE Chaplin! He said it with raw emotion and I have always wondered how much was scripted and how much did he make up on the spot. Not only a great speech but a great movie as well.
