The Dictator

The Dictator is a 2012 political satire black comedy film co-written by and starring Sacha Baron Cohen as his fourth feature film in a leading role. The film was directed by Larry Charles, who also directed Baron Cohen's mockumentaries Borat and Brüno. Baron Cohen, in the role of Admiral General Aladeen, the dictator of the fictional Republic of Wadiya visiting the United States, stars alongside Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley, and Jason Mantzoukas with uncredited appearances by John C. Reilly and Garry Shandling. Producers Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel said that Baron Cohen's character was inspired by real-life dictators with personality cults like Kim Jong Il, Idi Amin, Muammar Gaddafi, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Mobutu Sese Seko, and Saparmurat Niyazov. The film's opening credits sarcastically dedicate it "in loving memory" to Kim Jong Il, who died in 2011. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $179 million.

It is too round on the top. It needs to be pointy.

Round is not scary. Pointy is scary.

No, Supreme Leader. The shape of the missile top has nothing to do with aerodynamics. It is about the payload delivery. No. It sticks in the ground, and then kaboom.

Supreme Leader, I think perhaps some of your information about bombs is coming from cartoons. Nonsense. They were research films.

And in them, the victims of the bomb would get very sooty faces and then a see-through version of themselves started rising up towards Heaven while playing a harp.

In this film, just one question, was there a duck who, when the explosion is happens, his bill goes around to the back of his head, and then in order to talk, he has to put it back this way?

There was somebody who suffered a deformity like that. Okay. I am now 100% sure that you are watching cartoons.

Indulge me. For one second, pretend that I'm an idiot. Okay. I'm there. And explain to me how this bomb will not land in Israel and then, literally, bounce right back and blow up Wadiya.

Believe me, sir, if I could make the device even a little more pointy, I would, but I simply cannot.
