Blog #3 Modern Times Review

Modern times was a great movie from 1936. It was funny and yet touching. Charlie Chaplin made something amazing that was different from what his original script. The music would always fit the tone the movie had at specific parts. The movie was comical having crazy situations such as being sucked into a machine, as well as being beaten by one. Even though it had a sort of comical side it was touching in the fact that the little tramp wasn't rich he was just another worker in a factory doing his job well enough to get literally consumed by it, the little tramp was the little man. It was great to see a happy ending in a film filled with lots of poverty, a nice walk into the sunset. But the fact was that it's amazing this was all away from his original script, having talking throughout the whole film instead of just certain parts, being taken away from a beginning of a sci-fi to something that was modern. Chaplin probably couldn't have had a better movie than what was ended up with.
