Modern Times

Modern Times was a film that I didn't think I would watch, overall I actually enjoyed the film because it had comedy and entertainment. Chaplin's intention of letting the world know what a person's life is like once they had spent time working in a factory for a while put in perspective the lives of the common worker. I learned that a film does not need sound in order to project a message to its viewers, because with simple actions one can perceive the message. I was impressed with the ending to the film because from the start it seemed like it was going to be depressing and not quite joyful. that idea quickly ended when i saw the relationship that Chaplin created with each character he met just like he befriend the police officer in jail. His optimistic attitude and joyful presence created a message that i interpreted as. one should not bring negative vibes even when in the worst situations possible because if there is optimism and positive attitude, there will be a solution to it all.
