Post #3 Modern Times Thoughts


The movie Modern Times by Chaplin was a movie that had all the characteristics it needed to have such as comedy, plot, climax and it was suspenseful. Since the movie was made in 1936 I would have expected it to be a more modern movie with sound but even though it was a movie without sound and color, it was a great movie. I liked how the movie pertained to that era’s problems and how even though their life was difficult, they would never give up. I liked how the ending wasn’t a depressing ending but instead an ending in which actually gave me a lesson I should use throughout the future. The intro was also good due to Chaplin relating workers to sheep, which shows that we are like other creatures in the world. Overall this movie helped me change my perspective on black and white movies that also contain no sound.
