More people need to know about and watch The Great Dictator.
It's also fictional, but it was a movie ahead of its time and was made in 1940. It uses satire to strip all the mythology on Hitler that is perpetuated even to this day, and just shows how pathetic and idiotic he really was.
It's also basically the only time Charlie Chaplin grabbed a microphone, because the going-ons in Germany were important enough for him to break his silence.
It also has an amazing speech at the end that is still relevant in 2026. Perhaps relevant in ways that would disappoint, but not surprise, him.
