Ask for a review of Modern Times .

There is it in Douban, which is closest to my feelings.

Let's use the language of the next person. Nothing.

"Modern Times" is the final finale of Chaplin's silent film era. Now looking back at the filming years of "Modern Times", we have to admire Chaplin's strength. The film was made in 1935, when Hollywood was already the world of sound films, silent films were on the verge of retiring from the stage of history, and partial color films were born in this year, which was an era of rapid development of film production technology.

But many people always cling to something and refuse to give up, which does not mean that they are old-fashioned! Just like Enya of the first year, Chaplin used his "Modern Times" to prove to us the greatness of this persistence. Chaplin always believed that the expression of body language is the true essence of film art, and this concept is still very instructive in today's film technology.

At Chaplin's insistence, Modern Times, like a traditional silent film, shields the dialogue, leaving only a few sounds and background vocals, and it proves that the classics don't lose their color because of form.

1928 1934 was a period of transformation for American cinema. At this time, American industrial production was facing a crisis, and the intensification of domestic class contradictions caused a serious political crisis and economic crisis.

Charlie in Modern Times, dressed in overalls, stands next to a long rotating conveyor belt, his movements are mechanical and simple, holding a wrench in his hand and tightening the screws of the parts that have been teleported from the belt. The parts were quickly teleported over, and the next worker hammered them. The conveyor belt does not give the workers a second to be free, and even when they go to the toilet, they have to wait for the foreman to replace them, even if they enter the toilet, they have no time to squat, and the rough voice of the boss foreman urges them again.

The monotony of mechanized labor finally makes Charlie nervous, and he makes a series of jokes.

Modern Times exposes the essence of American society through specific images and analysis of people's unique destinies. This is an unprecedented feat in the history of American cinema. Chaplin raised the picture of realism to a philosophical level.

It's a great comedy of black humor.

Why?

Because the film "Modern Times - Chaplin" profoundly reflects the darkness of the social reality at that time and the unreasonable social system, it makes us feel the meaning of the laughter.

The protagonist (Bi Chaplin) exposes the suffering of the workers who were oppressed and devastated by capitalism at that time through comical interpretation.
