19 april 2007 - Chaplin's Modern Times (1936)

Shall we invite some machines, capitalism, mental hospital, communism, police, jail, strike, poverty, and a lot of satire… to our movie evening?

This Thursday… let’s watch something new, let’s watch Charlie Chaplin in action!

Charlie Chaplin’s "Modern Times" (1936) depicts the dehumanizing effect of mechanization in the poor industrial society. It is considered a silent film although it does contain some talk from inanimate objects such as a radio or a TV. It is also the first movie where Chaplin's voice is heard (in some nonsense song, tralala).
