Modern Times

This was my first Charlie Chaplin's film. I just had seen a few clips from many of his film but never saw one entirely. I should have started from the beggining but I don't know I just wanted to see this one.
This film isn't totally silent it has a few dialogues and sound effects moments. Chaplin written, directed and composed all of the music for this film. He did a great job in all!
This was the last appearance of The Tramp and his last silent film. In this The Tramp struggles to survive modern times, the industrial world and the Great Depression leading to a massive unemployment and poverty through those years. Due to that there are some political messages hidden during the film. But the most important message of all that this film wants to transmit is that we have to find a way to overcome the adversities of life and always "Smile", like the beautiful song he wrote and composed for this film says.
Overall this was very funny and entertaining, will never get age!
Charlie Chaplin was without any doubt was one of the great comedy actors ever.

"Smile! C'mon!"

I can't start any review without going all cuties on something, but today that's changed. This is one of the most beautiful and adorable things my eyes have ever laid eyes on. It leaves a warm feeling inside that can make anyones day. The personalty, charm, and a sense of innocence with are main characters.

With 'non-sense song' probably being the greatest pieces of gibberish to film. If you watch that the scene on repeat and watch his hand gestures, you get a story. That's just awe-inspiring.

Chaplin way of presenting slapstick comedy as an artistic form is something that's never been done before at the time and never again. Well, the way he did it. While known for being a perfection of his work, as every single frame is so brilliantly stage for either a joke or a dramatic shift; the execution that smoothly pushes the story along. Everything from facial expressions and music to set what kind of mood with each scenes. It's pure genius how this man can play with your emotions, not in a insulting way. All of his films still hold up and continue to amaze audience members today.

Yep, it's a masterpiece.

For me, this is a perfect mix of all Chaplin does best: wonderful comic sequences combined with emotion that will absolutely wreck you. Here, it's often predicated on a meta-textual in-joke (that is heightened on this watch having just watched 100 pre-1936 movies in a row) that the modern, sound-based world is coming for the silent Tramp. I love the use of sound effects and dialogue, and how it contributes to a world that the Tramp can't understand or effectively navigate. It heightens the comedy, but it hits you like a gut punch by the end. Concludes with one of my all-time favorite final shots--just doesn't get better.

A CLASSIC. YOU MUST SEE ALL TILL “THE END”

A masterpiece by Chaplin that can still convey today, in black and white and without words how Industry can swallow humans.

A masterpiece by Chaplin, delicious cinematographic jewel... and very funny!

Charlie Chaplin's last semi-silent picture, and his final appearance as the little tramp. It's also a not-so-subtle critique of the change in America's popular attitude during his professional heyday, decrying the abundance of automation in local factories while the great depression still raged in city streets. Despite the weighty deeper implications, it remains a genuinely charming set of skits and Chaplin is at his emotive, expressive best from curtain to curtain. The film gets bonus points for throwing its star into so many unique, visually spectacular situations, including what's probably his signature scene inside the belly of a giant, mechanical assembly line.

what an awesome metaphor. just watch the film, even no need to listen
