摘要：Chaplin’s art of comedy never shirked from tragic issues such as totalitarianism and Hitler’s persecution of the Jews in The Great Dictator and earlier, World War I in Shoulder Arms. This article aims at demonstrating how the denunciation of war is made through both a realistic picture of the trenches in Shoulder Arms as well as at the beginning of The Great Dictator. His imaginary representation acts as an indictment and a humanistic painting. Charles Chaplin shows the space of war through a visual form of writing in which the world of dreams gives a realistic picture of World War I through a hollow world depicted thanks to an elliptic writing.
