"Moderntimes"

This film is called Moderns Times and it is directed and written by Charlie Chaplin. The introduction of the film, with the image of “clock,” reflects the connection between the title of the film and the theme. I watched the first two parts of the movie. This movie was produced during the era of the 1930s which is also known as the “machine age” in the United States. Therefore, the symbol of the clock represents how ’ life was transformed in the modern world- “tied” up with worries about time and money.Machines made y workers behave like robots. . There could be no arguments with management because keeping a job and a salary were most important. In this film, hedevelops a theme that deals with factory workers, production, and the changes that machines bring.
