Modern times is a movie that tells us the story of 2 different characters, first: Chaplin’s character, wh
o was a hard and funny worker. And a girl, who helps her family. Her father was unemployed and as he couldn’t bring food to the house, she felt the impulse of do it herself by stealing it.
In this movie we can realized many facts that were real in those days, when the life as we know it stared. The first thing that call my attention during the movie, was the very first scene, when the screen shows us a group of sheep and then the scene changes showing us a group of people walking together. I think this is a metaphor that was trying to show us that in these new days that were coming, industrialization, people was starting to act and fall into a routine of work, where they are no more than a sheep that works for the factory.

The film also shows us how people were all the time looking for a stable job, and h
ow riots, famine and theft where things of everyday. What seems more interesting in this film is that even though many people were suffering the consequences of not having a job.

Some other people were having a very good time because there was a department store full of food and clothe, there was also a restaurant where people were eating and dancing really happy.
In this movie we can see both sides of the coin, the side of the poor people who work really hard to kept a job a_02%2520JT.jpg)
nd the rich people who had all the benefit of the industrialization but suffering the consequences, like the pollution and the delinquency.
I can say after everything that Modern times is one of Charles Chaplin’s master piece, where he showed to the world the reality of the industrialization days, and what people was able to do to survived. At the end of the movie, both characters left the city together really happy and with a lot of hope in the future, I interpreted this as a message from Chaplin to society, that even though thing may look really hard, we have to be strong and fight for the future.
