4、tant film is his comic masterpiece Modern Times, made in 1936. Set in the Great Depression era, the films main concerns are those of millions of people at the time: unemployment, poverty, and economic oppression. Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a journalist who, while interviewing him, hap

5、pened to describe working conditions in industrial Detroit.Chaplin was told that healthy young men were attracted by promises of high wages to come work on the assembly lines in the automobile factories there. The stress of long hours and endlessly repetitive work soon destroyed these young mens phy

6、sical and mental health.Chaplin not only starred in Modern Times but also wrote the script and the music and directed and produced it. It was the last movie in which Chaplin played the Little Tramp, a popular character he had first created in 1915. The Little Tramp is a simple, kind wanderer with a

7、small mustache, a Derby hat, baggy pants, and a cane. He falls into many misfortunes but always maintains a sweet, sad optimism. Modern Times was also Chaplins final silent movie. Talkies had appeared nine years earlier, but Chaplins humor was mostly based on body language and visual gags. However,

8、it is somewhat deceptive to call Modern Times a silent film. While there is no dialogue, there is music and sound effects, such as the roar of machinery and the scream of factory whistles. In Modern Times, the world of sound is the noisy world of technology, while the Tramp, a symbol of humanity, is

9、 silent.Only about one third of Modern Times takes place inside a futuristic factory (the Electro Steel Works), but these are the scenes viewers remember most vividly.

It hurls food at the Tramp, who is strapped into his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This illustrates peoples

11、 utter helplessness in the face of machines that should be serving them. In another memorable scene, the owner orders that the speed of the assembly line be increased to its maximum level.

12、one point in this scene, he is taken inside, literally eaten by the nightmarish machinery, and caught up in its whirring wheels, gears, and cogs.

13、ctory by attendants in white coats and is taken away.The Tramp recovers from his nervous breakdown and is released. The doctor tells him, Take it easy and avoid excitement, but for the rest of this episodic film, the Tramp experiences one calamity after another. He unintentionally joins a labor stri

14、ke and later is sent to jail. He becomes a roller-skating night watchman at a department store, an overstressed singing waiter, and a fugitive from the law. He meets an orphan (played by Chaplins real-life wife, Paulette Goddard) and becomes her friend and protector. In the final scene, the Tramp wa

15、lks down a country road into the sunset. This is a stock ending for Chaplin films, but usually the tramp walks off alone. In his last film, the Tramp walks off arm-in-arm with the girl.Clearly, Modern Times has its flaws, but it is the best film about the effects of technology on humanity ever made.
