dark age

I remember that when I was a kid, CCTV 15 would play black and white every once in a while, only the music and no dialogue in the old movies, the acting seems to be the one wearing long shoes with hooks, holding a cane everywhere, between the lips and the nose There's always a bunch of hairy "clowns". That was when color TV became popular, and I never wanted to miss the "big windmill" and "happy bus" every day. As for my brother, he usually lets me do everything except when he plays the "Joker" movie on the music channel, he must grab the remote control with me. So I am very puzzled: this is not even a word, there is no color, what is there to see in this clown. I know from my brother that his name is Chaplin. The first movie director I've ever known in my life is Chaplin. I'm ashamed to say, I've lived for 20 years, and this is the first time I've seen a Chaplin movie. On the other hand, if you don't have a certain amount of experience, you can't appreciate this kind of "masterpiece" (although it still doesn't appreciate it at this age). Chaplin is one of the greatest filmmakers of the last century. I didn't think that way when the movie started 1 hour 27 minutes ago. A few seconds after the movie started, a string of lines appeared on the screen: Written and Directed by Charlie Chaplin Assistant Director Charlie Chaplin Music Composed by Charlie Chaplin Principal Character Charlie Chaplin I was shocked, this Nima is "Master True". The name of the movie "Modern Times" is a very special period. The two industrial revolutions occurred one after another and completed. The industrial society completely replaced the agricultural society. Humans moved from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization, and socialized large-scale production became the main method of production. In this series of major changes, major changes have also taken place in terms of working conditions and division of labor. Capitalists need to obtain more benefits, workers demand more remuneration, and both labor and capital demand more production returns. Therefore, increasing labor productivity and increasing surplus has become an excellent choice. In the movie, it can be seen that the capitalists even save the time for workers to eat, the machine becomes the core of the entire production process, and people only exist as a subsidiary of the machine. Or managers are suppressed to a minimum, human dignity and agency are grossly ignored, and workers are used only as machine parts. The film "Modern Times" deeply reflects the social reality at that time, it makes people see the darkness of capitalism and the irrational social system in laughter. The cruel and dark reality of capitalist countries and the endless oppression of capitalists have made it impossible for many people to survive, wandering on the streets, begging along the streets, and even depriving workers of their time to eat. To be able to free up hands and feet to continue working... The ultimate purpose of various practices is to obtain more surplus value, because surplus value only realizes that what capitalists ultimately want to obtain is more surplus value. This is a bottomless pit without restraint. If Pauline Goldie was born half a century later, she must be a well-known actress. After all, that image is there.

    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 later

    #新看# The social animal life alienated by the machine, the human nature has been eliminated, and it has become a part of the assembly line program-the opening factory scene is quite shocking, and it still has a thought-provoking and sobering significance to this day. He was thrown into prison after being mistaken for the Communist Party, and he made a big splash by mistake. Although this passage is a joke, it shows his political stance (you can contact him later to support the Soviet Union); the strike & labor movement is a testimony to his consistent attention to social events . The last "silent film", from now on, the voice will enter this silent world.
