| The Dictator |
The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that
democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.
The first couple of minutes from The Dictator have gone online. The movie stars Sacha Baron Cohen as
Admiral General Aladeen, the goofy tyrant of the Republic of Wadiya.
The opening quickly sets up Aladeen as a global menace by borrowing footage of world leaders talking about real-life dictators. However, the comedy really gets going when we see a brief history of Aladeen’s life, from what happened to his mother, and the result of changing the Wadiyan dictionary to make Aladeen the same word for “positive” and “negative”. If the rest of the movie is as good as these gags, then audiences will be in for a terrific comedy next month.
Hit the jump to check out the opening, and click here for Steve’s reaction to the footage he saw at CinemaCon. The film also stars Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley, and John C. Reilly. The Dictator opens May 16th.
The film is said to be inspired by the novel Zabibah and the King by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.[4] This genre of film has also been done before in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, a polemic parody of Hitler. The trailer alludes to the fact that the film is also inspired by the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, due to the character's visit to the United States and his all-female security force. Furthermore, the archive news footages of U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron in the beginning of the trailer are all excerpts of speeches condemning Gaddafi's actions in the 2011 Libyan civil war.Also you can watch The Dictator Movie online.
