The movie modern times was an amazing piece of art i absolutely loved it. The movie is a silent film and i usually don't go for silent movies because i find them to be very boring but charlie Chaplin was a comical genius this movie kept me entertained the entire time with out the use of words a feat that is very difficult to accomplish in our modern society. The movie was a roller coaster of emotions from heart breaking scenes to silly scenes but the overall flow of the film was not disrupted it was a very well made movie. One of the things that caught my attention about this movie was that Chaplin decided to go with a happy ending, in our times this seems like a normal and logical thing to do everyone loves a happy ending, but around the time this movie was created the depression had already sucked the joy out of people and seeing a happy ending gave the people hope especially when at the end of the movie the little tramp gives his final message to the world "Just Smile". Modern times is also filled with many message and ideas from the mind of charlie Chaplin through this movie we get a feel for the type of person that he was and his views on things like the police and factory owners. There is lots of meaning behind this film and is a cinematic classic, Two thumbs up.
