**Brunette Invasion** In the movie //The Great Dictator//, Chaplin portrays Hynkel's character as child-like and power-seeking, which could potentially be dangerous to the United States government's beliefs at that time. Before WW2 started the US decided to be neutral, but this scene was especially biased, taking a side against the Germans. Chaplin mocks Hitler's ideas of making a "perfect society" by wiping out all of the Jewish people, and then the brunettes. Hynkel himself was a brunette, and Hitler was half Jewish; when directing and creating this movie, paralleling to real life was extremely clever on Chaplin's part, but because he was so accurate with portraying Hitler it could have been seen as extremely offensive and biased. When Hynkel dances with the balloon it symbolizes how easily he obtained power, but then it popped and that symbolized the disruption in the way he would rule. With these two examples of mockery towards Hitler in Chaplin's movie you can tell that it is biased and extremely dangerous to what the United States government believes
