At the end, I saw a barrage "So I turned around and walked into the mountains..." I don't know what their future will be... Regarding politics, the country's correct decision and timely adjustment are too important! "Modern Times... Modern Times" is tearful "I remember this movie was made by Chaplin to satirize Ford. When Ford invented the large-scale assembly line operation, Chaplin went to visit and praised Ford for pioneering This model is great and groundbreaking. He may think that this model can improve production efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of workers. Unexpectedly, the assembly line makes the capitalists more insatiable, and workers are reduced to screws in the era of large-scale industry. Assembly line work also destroyed the health and spirit of workers. A few years later, Chaplin publicly mocked Ford, and the two turned against each other. Workers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries had no probationary income, no eight-hour work system, and no labor security. There is no workers' compensation, and there is no law to protect their legitimate rights and interests. Bosses can deduct wages at will, fire workers at will, extend working hours indefinitely, and punish workers for various reasons. Workers are just slaves to industry. In fact, it is not an exaggeration, there are still examples of working on the assembly line to the point of mental breakdown (Fu Moukang can produce a few every year), and the scenes of the Great Depression in history are comparable to the movies.”
"Modern Times" is Chaplin's seventy-fifth film. It is also his last silent film and his last homeless film. Judging from the film's theme and creative thought, this film is Chaplin's impact on society and life. And the continuation and development of the consistent thinking of film art. 1. The film continues the narrative voice of sympathy for the working people, and profoundly reveals the evil of capitalism, which turns people into machines and parts. In his opinion, Western industrial civilization is not perfect, it not only It has resulted in the unemployment of a large number of workers, and caused great harm to workers' minds and bodies due to the assembly-line production method and the management mode that pursues maximum profits. 2. The film is the culmination of Chaplin's tramp series, showing his inhumane attack on modern industry, reflecting the general dissatisfaction among the working class during the Great Depression 3. The film Retain and develop Chaplin-style comedy films with "tearful laughter" as the main feature. Many of these passages make the audience laugh, but after laughing, they can't help but think deeply. Charlot in the film is still a "gentle bum", who is envious and tries his best to imitate middle-class life. However, compared with previous films, the film has a stronger sense of social criticism. For example, there are two scenes of police suppressing workers in the film.
