 Today , In Our English department we have a film Screening of " Modern Times" by Charlie Chaplin.This film was directed and performed by Great actor Charlie Chaplin. This film help us to understand the situation of modern time.

Industrialisation and conditions of workers:

                  

 In this film shows the industrialisation.   In that age people were like machines who work constantly without taking any break. It shows the condition of workers how they were manipulated by their Masters. In this film by  using CCTV camara it shows that how master constantly keeping their eyes on the workers. It shows the symbol of control. Also the food machine invented for works so they can work without taking any break. So this way the Masters controlled over them.

Surrealism :

    In this film director also use the surrealism effect when the person (Chaplin) accidently goes  into the Machine afterwards by pressing the reverse button he comes out safely. So in the reality it was an impossible thing but it was used to create some effect.

Clock as a symbol of control : 

                     

     In any movie the most important part was the first and last frame of the film. In the first frame the  image of  the clock  used. It was the symbol of control. So the factory workers were controlled by time. The factory masters used time as a tool to control over the workers.

Hope of new life : 

                     

      In the last frame Chaplin and Gamin girl walked on the road. So this  image shows the hope. The road symbolised as a road of happiness. So the movie ends with the positive attitude towards the life. During whole film Chaplin and Gamin girl faced many troubles. But at the end they have a hope to live happy life. So this positive attitude inspired others to see the life in positive way.

So this film shows the capitalism and socialism in modern time.  The situation of workers. At that time food and shelter were the first and important priority for people. So at the end film's  director trys to show us the positivity attitude towards the life. This movie helped a lot to understand the situations and people's mentality towards the life at that time.
