Some people say that "City Lights" is Chaplin's last silent film, but I still think this "Modern Times" is the final piece of Chaplin's silent film era. Looking back at the filming years of "Modern Times", we have to admire the power of Chaplin. This film was produced in 1935. At this time, Hollywood was already the world of sound movies. Silent movies were on the verge of withdrawing from the stage of history. Partial color films were also born this year. This is an era of rapid development of filmmaking technology. But many people always cling to something and refuse to give up. This does not mean that they are staid! Just like Enya in the music industry, Chaplin used his "Modern Times" to prove to us the greatness of this persistence. Chaplin always believes that the expression of body language is the true essence of film art, and this concept is still very instructive in today's big explosion of film technology. Under Chaplin's insistence, "Modern Times" blocked the dialogue just like a traditional silent movie, leaving only a few sound and background vocals. It also proved that the classics will not lose their color because of their form.
