My thoughts on Modern Times
I really liked the movie because it was a very funny movie with a lot of very interesting hidden opinions about the life of the people in the 1930s. This movie showed a lot about the time period it was made. It showed how factory workers are like mindless sheep that only know how to work. They work so hard and long that they get sucked into it and become mindless zombies. It also showed how working for so long and tediously makes the workers go crazy because they just can't handle it anymore. It also showed how much Communism was despised at the time because Chaplin was immediately jailed for holding a flag that seemed like a communist flag. Overall, I just really liked how the movie was able to incorporate so many different issues and themes in a funny, yet very suttle way. It is a movie that I would definitely recommend.
