    It might be surprising to say it, but this is the first time I've ever watched a Master Chaplin movie in its entirety. I've watched some clips before. Chaplin's middle and late works, Chaplin's last silent film, can also be said to be his first sound film. Although there are lines, but the form is still silent film style. And the protagonist Chaplin did not speak. Fragmented two-line narration should be very good at that time. The protagonist is a little person who will never change, expressing...

    Look again. Like our current era, like our current life. Chaplin is romantic in his bones, and in the industrial age of alienation, his stories will always have a sad but fairy-tale hope. But the current In reality, has there ever been a fairy tale...

    The 1936 film is too simple to look at today. There are thousands of ways to express a critique of industrial society, but Chaplin had only one. He's always playing himself, especially the last sentence. And with your back to the camera, the sun is...

    #常看常新# It feels especially appropriate to review this film on another working weekend that has been suspended since the end of May. People are just a small screw in the industrial era, getting involved in the giant wheel of the times and trying to survive. Work hard to make money, work hard to have a real family. The ending is still very positive, and the most touching thing is the joy and sorrow of the little people who the audience can empathize...

    Relentlessly ridiculed the entire Industrial Age and the Great Depression, in fact all aspects of American society were cruelly satirized by Chaplin. The performance of the last ten minutes can be seen as a condensation of Chaplin's classic images. The few words on the final subtitles remind people of their tragic struggle in a reinforced concrete society with their flesh and...

    The rhythm is compact, reversed, multi-factory gears, prison fighting, big ship launching, department store, roller skating, too many laughs! There is also a song and dance that I am very happy to watch! Although there is no decent house at the end of the film, I hope that the road ahead is not too warm and too healing! Think carefully How different are the times we live in and the modern times we can imagine and how industrial society is portrayed here? Charles Chaplin is a true...

    why work

    The second time I watched Modern Times, the last time was last Saturday, January 22. That was the first time I watched a silent film. When I read books about movies before, I learned that when a movie was played in the silent era, there would be a live band soundtrack, so "silent movies" are not...

    modern times

    "Modern Times" is the masterpiece of Chaplin, who was one of the greatest film masters in the last world. I have only heard of "Modern Times" before, and I understand that this film is a silent film, exposing the numb and difficult life of workers under the large-scale machine production of...
