“Definitely my favorite movie, that would be The Great Dictator. This is the most human movie of them all. This is the smartest, connected-to-the-heart movie that I’ve ever seen. And each time I see it, I’m moved the same way, even if I know the story by heart, even if I know the dialogue by heart. I think the last sentence of this movie is, 'Listen.' Each time it brings me to tears just talking about it. This is a masterpiece.”
