About Modern
Modern Times is a 1936 American silent comedy film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in which his iconic Little Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The film is a commentary on the desperate employment and financial conditions many people faced during the Great Depression — conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization. The movie stars Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Tiny Sandford and Chester Conklin. It is notable for being the last time that Chaplin portrayed the Tramp character and for being the first time Chaplin's voice is heard on film.
Movie has started with this frame the 1 st frame of this movie its like this.
There is another time frame which shows time in the movie in that time frame there is 6 o clock which is shown in the movie
Factories and mills were being equipped with new inventions of technology and machines were occupying the human jobs. Due to this unemployment, many people were roaming like sheep without direction. One term is used for one such generation: Lost generation. A word can be used for those people: Sheeple. In the movie it is shown.
In the another frame the audience can observe that it is time of great depression by the scene of restruant in which the audience can see that the protagonist is stealing the food from the restaurant.
Here in the next frame as per my understanding it is shown that overload of work can make the person made. This is also applied in today's context also that because of overloaded work a person is going towards depression easily.
