Modern Times

I think that Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin was a great movie. I noticed it showed a lot of what was happening during that time, 1936. This movie shows technology, poverty, law and comedy. Charlie Chaplin puts scenes in the movie which show how technology in the future was going to be and every time these scenes are seen they bring a type of negative feeling. Poverty is also a main thing that is seen in this movie and I believe it is due to the fact that when the movie came out the Great Depression was going on. Law, police officers, are seen arrest Chaplin multiple times for causes that were not his fault. Comedy was put in to this film to bring the audience some sort of happiness. Towards the end he tells the girl, which I believe is actually directed to the audience, to just smile. He is trying to tell the audience that tough times will present themselves in the future, yet you just have to smile and continue your journey in life.
