Review of Modern Times (1936) by Bobby B — 05 Mar 2011
Terrific silent comedy. Chaplin's inventiveness with slapstick humor is breathtaking - in Modern Times, I particularly loved any of the scenes dealing with the absurdly elaborate machinery of the factory.
Outside of the amazing visual gags, Modern Times is a touching, lighthearted look at some of the struggles of the Great Depression. Chaplin was incredibly imaginative - I have seen pitifully few of his movies, but hope to change that very soon.
