    The little people in the big age are sad and pitiful. The exaggerated performance shows the bottom stage of the miserable capitalist countries of that era. The social reality at that time can be seen from the laughter. At the end, the protagonist smiles and walks into the distance with each other but leaves the audience with hope. Both the performance and the thoughts conveyed in the film are enough to make today ashamed a hundred years...

    That vain feeding machine is really full. I have to work hard to operate the machine. I have eaten two more. The factory goes to work and makes a fuss. The factory repairs the machine. Ingested drugs by mistake, but bravely rescued the police in the department store. It’s still all parts of the factory. Although the last two people started a fugitive life, but fortunately, both of them are very optimistic and hope to be there...

    #什么长大了看再不笑不出的电影# The alienation of people is simply a guide to life in the new century, and I am very moved to watch it. "There is only one kind of heroism in the world, which is to still love life after recognizing the truth of life"-Romain...

    The high level of Chaplin's comedy is not to satirize the lower class, but to always stand on the weak side. In contrast, today's film creators are not only full of copper smell, they are full of...

    The bosses never stop exploiting workers. Workers not only have to check in to go to work, but they also have to check in to the bathroom. All parts of the factory are monitored, including the restrooms, and employees are never allowed to be lazy. The boss succeeded in driving the employee crazy, and when he saw a screw or something that looked like a screw, he wanted to screw it. The factory is too cold, and the place that makes Charlie feel warm is the prison. The prison has food, drink and...

    If the movie had never had Chaplin, what a boring world would be. It made me laugh a few times before 30 minutes alone. Absurd and reasonable, extremely...

    Chaplin always has innocent romance. The film is like a microcosm of his early years, although work does not allow people to live a decent life, but still remains optimistic. Just like the end, you don't know where tomorrow will be or will follow...

    modern times

    Chaplin is worthy of being a master of a generation, and his works are very connotative and worthy of repeated viewing. This film shows more the sorrow of the people at the bottom. They are already poor enough and reduced to cheap labor, and the capitalists have not spared the slightest time to...
