Review of Modern Times (1936) by Timothy D — 10 Sep 2009

What a fantastic classic.

There are too many great things too tell about this movie.

For me the rhythm of the movie and the editing are still so modern.

A lot of old movies suffer from a lack of rhythm.

In a world where everything is clipped-edited today this movie doesn't suffer at all from this ennoying old fashionned slow timing.

The subjects are just timeless.

A great feeling of humanity emanates from this film.

All the blunders and bloops of the tramp are ajusted with a wonderfull precision and never leave a feeling of vulgarity.

Such a precious movie.

What a poet. What a visionary man.
