Modern Times (1936) Directed, Written by, Produced and starring Charles Chaplin...
A unique late silent comedy film in which the iconic Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern industrialized world, having burnt himself out on the conveyer belt assembly line. Chaplin's film is a comment on the desperate employment and financial conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, a slapstick skewering of industrialized capitalist America.
A reference to drugs seen in the prison sequence was somewhat daring for the time.
The preservation of humanity in a modern, mechanized world profoundly reflects on issues still relevant in this the twenty-first century...
One of the first 25 films selected in 1989 by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"
Testing the Mechanical lunch feeder for factory worker efficiency
