The Great Dictator’s Message to Humanity remix project is my
mix tape of Charlie Chaplin’s speech in the movie, The Great Dictator
and G Eazy’s Get Away Instrumental.
This specific remix is a modern adaptation critically focusing on “the
programmers” of society, the elite who are controlling technology that could be
used to solve our world’s problems, but is instead commoditized. Our greed has influenced
technology to give us everything we want, but not what humanity truly needs. In
his original speech in the 1940 film, Charlie Chaplin sends a message to
humanity whose meaning translates across generations. The instrumental
represents a modern, hip-hop twist to Chaplin’s words, while the images and
short cuts of footage personifies and helps show how Chaplin’s message about
technology is still relatable to present day. In order to preserve our future,
the speech urges us to use technology as a means to spread compassion and
positive progression. He further warns
of what technology can be used for such as weaponry and its other negative
influences on humanity, but leaves the audience with the message for humanity
to unite as a species, to irradiate poverty, avoid environmental degradation,
educate all children, and give everyone an opportunity as a high quality of
life. Using Adobe Pro and my DJay 2 application on my IPhone I was able to mix
the speech to the Get Away instrumental, using 3 different YouTube videos for
my final cut. Overall, I enjoyed the project and now I know how to upload videos to YouTube! Great class project!
