Se vam zdi govor sredi skladbe ‘Iron Sky’ znan? Verjetno zato, ker ste ga slišali v filmu.
Epska soul balada nosi globoko besedilo: “We find gods and religions to / To paint us with salvation / But no one / No nobody / Can give you the power.” Vmes pa oglasi tudi drug glas, ki pravi: “To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. “The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. “Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men! Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! “You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. “Let us use that power. Let us all unite!”
Ampak čigav je ta govor in kaj pomeni?
Leta 1939 je bil Charlie Chaplin pravi superzvezdnik. V filmu ‘The Great Dictator’ je izrazil ves svoj upor proti dogajanju v Nemčiji (čeprav ni bil Jud). Deželo je obiskal leta 1931 in že takrat videl prizore, ki so ga prizadeli. Zato je posnel film, ki je v esenci parodija na Hitlerja. V govoru, ki je od takrat postal zelo znan, in ne samo zaradi pesmi Nutinija, Chaplinov lik nagovori zbrane čete, ampak v resnici govori direktno vsakemu gledalcu posebej.
Chaplinov film je izšel ravno v času začetka vojne, sneman pa je bil že prej, tako da se niti ni zavedal, kakšne grozote bodo sledile in kako moreča bo realnost. “Ne bi se mogel delati norca iz morilske norosti nacistov,” je povedal kasneje.
