    After watching "Metropolis" and then watching "Modern Times", I really feel that it is too soft, probably because I don't have much love for musical comedy films. In the whole film, I like the scenes of screwing the factory screw and automatic feeding machine. The humorous skills are better than Jin Kelly. more than a hundred times...

    In the silent film era, the synchronization of audio and video is simply the pinnacle of film history, and it is much weaker when it comes to sound films. The performance is so good, I can't imagine how many rehearsals it took before it was officially...

    Master Zhuo's classics, although many scenes are a bit overdone; the imagination across the ages reveals so many realities, as long as action is taken, it will always get better and better; when watching this film, I think of a group of people in Criminal Minds The scene of watching Master Zhuo's tape movie together after solving the case is very...

    It is more exaggerated and absurd than "City Lights", and the jokes are richer. The group scenes and sets of the factory are very shocking. With a morbid comedy style, a morbid "modern era" has been successfully created. Chaplin's physical performance has become crazy....

    Witty and ironic, sad and humorous. The most powerful is hope in despair, warmth in depression, those moments sparkling in darkness. Classic, great, true genius. A few thoughts: 1. Marx is indeed great. But many people in this country are not qualified to mention him at all; 2. Chaplin is eighty or ninety years away from the era of Marx, and the time between the present and the film is almost a hundred years later, but the situation does not seem to have changed; 3. It is recommended that this...

    I thought that the technical limitations of the 1930s would make the film look rough, but after watching it, I found that it is a masterpiece that many modern works cannot...

    In Chaplin's time, even in difficult times, the sun of tomorrow still shines on him, never too late

    In 1936's "Modern Times", factories closed one after another, during the Great Depression, factories laid off workers, and many workers lost their jobs. There is a contrast in the film, Charlie's life in prison is much better than life outside, which is intriguing.

    The passage of time...

    comedy gives hope

    What was America like in the 1930s?

    The economic crisis in the history books, the layoffs of workers, the growth of unions... These words, which are far from our lived experience, are presented in a comedy way in this film. Using his own unique expression, Chaplin turned himself into a very dramatic...
