Modern Times

Modern Times,is a film by Charlie Chaplin and it has a very important place in my life ;I watched it so many times that I forgot the number and I watched it again in last days.Every time I find something beautiful in it and I can't prevent myself from admiring Charlie Chaplin again and again.It is a film about a simple but a very kind worker and the events he came across both at work and outside the work.In this film there is a heavy critisim of industrialization ,modern society and the machine age.In the scene of "automatic worker-feeding machine" we see the how desperate is the Tramp against the technology and his boss.I won't give any more information about the plot of the film everyone must see this masterpiece at least once in his/her life.The film is the last silent film of Charlie Chaplin and it is black and white.It has really funny parts in it and one can't forget this scenes and there are some parts which are really dramatic relevant to the hardships people encounter in life both in that time and now.There is a song named "Smile"at the end of the film which became popular after being used originally in the Modern Times and as we understand from the name of the song there is a message that no matter what happens around us we can find something to be happy.
