We run forward to try to live

Something that doesn't fade over time is called a classic.

"Modern Times" is about the height of the Great Depression in the United States, and everyone is struggling with their own lives.

Charlie was even worse off. He worked in a factory, mechanized production, and lived mechanized. Workers are just machines for factories to make money. The oppression of business owners, the inequality between the rich and the poor, and the imperfect system are the fundamental reasons for workers to lose their jobs and strike again and again.

Charlie entered the prison several times, and every time he came out, he was always calm, put on a hat, took a cane, left the nourishing life of the prison, and stood firm in the suffering.

The kind Charlie will also encounter love, and will change his situation for love. Work hard to find a job and earn money to fulfill your dreams. Repeated encounters and failures will make ordinary people nervous, but the funny and humorous Charlie is always so relieved. Let me see is open-minded and strong.

We struggle to live a breath, to live a love.

    The first half is really amazing, the imagination is bursting, it is amazing, the second half is exhausted, and I am a little regretful.

    #常看常新# It feels especially appropriate to review this film on another working weekend that has been suspended since the end of May. People are just a small screw in the industrial era, getting involved in the giant wheel of the times and trying to survive. Work hard to make money, work hard to have a real family. The ending is still very positive, and the most touching thing is the joy and sorrow of the little people who the audience can empathize with.
