Modern Times Review

In Modern Times, I really liked how Chaplin made the scenes with a mixture of what life looked like in the past and what life looks like now. So he basically predicted the future by adding what it would look like to live the American Dream, where he and his girlfriend had a home to live in, although, it wasn’t fancy, it still included many features of what a home would look like now. I also appreciated his comic; he was very funny in every way possible. I also noticed something in the movie that no one had mentioned in my class; Chaplin also compared the movie with his past life, in the scene where Chaplin had forgotten the lyrics for his performance, he also connected that to his mother when he was just a child, she had forgotten the lyrics,but Chaplin, somehow, found himself on stage, even when he didn’t know what to do, he still managed to entertain the crowd in Modern Times and at his mother’s performance when he was a young child.
