This video clip is from 'A king in New York', a 1957 British comedy film directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin (as King Igor Shahdov of Estrovia) in his last leading role, and co-stars, among others, Chaplin's own young son, Michael, as a ten-year-old historian and editor of the school paper.

There is a lot here to unpack, such as when an intellectually honest approach meets vitriolic, emotive sophistry. The video clip, on the surface, is funny, but deep down it represents how a lot of people can entrench themselves within their narrow minded, bigoted mind set, and shut out any honest attempt to dialogue with them objectively.
