"Modern Times"

[66%] It is also a masterpiece of Chaplin, but it is more than 108,000 miles worse than "City Lights". The problem of the former is infinitely magnified in this film - the comedy sections are not smoothly connected, and the plot is discrete and has no overall awareness. Emotions have been rising, falling, rising, falling again, and the rhythm is very bad. In the end, almost only black screen subtitles are used to narrate, and only paragraphs are left in the video part. As for the main theme, the expression is clear, but unfortunately it is too straightforward and popular, and it is extremely exaggerated. Although it achieves the satirical effect of comedy, its depth is far less than that of "City Lights". However, the film did contribute some classic moments in film history, such as the impressive gear machine, and the visual dislocation of the roller skating section, and Chaplin's own performance is still brilliant and impeccable. However, this so-called "audio" technology does not make any sense, and subtitles are still used instead of lines in many places. Is it just for showing off?

It's so fucking realistic. The modern era is all about going to jail for changing the pattern. The only remaining autonomy is used to support a dwelling, and it will always break down faster than repair it.
