Modern Times
'Modern Times' is an anti-capitalist movie directed by Charlie chaplin and chaplin himself has performed main role in this. Many actors have imitated Chaplin's style.Indian actor Rajkapur copied not only Chaplin's style but also had insight of Chaplin's life. In this movie, charlie's use of highly comic tone leads to tragic story. Chaplin makes minimum use of language though it tells louder. He reflects much deeper issues than shown in the movie.
Chaplin uses his master strock from the very beginning of the movie and with the changing of various scenes. For example....
We can find critical observation on mechanical line, It also shows affect of industrialization and so being human in this world rather so called modern century "Being human is difficult task." From the beginning to end we find charlie's use of master strock and symbols which he has used. Very first scene of the movie is clock rather 6 o'clock it symbolizes the time that we become bondage of time and are tied by time.

We can see entire two symbols are Joblessness, getting into job and becoming jobless is central point in the movie. Sheriff and Gamin want not high class life, they want only better life from that they have! Is it wrong?!
Food is also plays significant role throughout the movie that automatic machiene of food, even in dawn they imagine food they dreamed about farm fresh food, later on he also do job of waiter which also symbolises the need of food. Gamin becomes thief only to provide food to her family because her little sistrr is motherless and her father is unemployed. The quoestion is that is she punnished by law as thieft or not ? When Sheriff got wooden house, and sit to eat food he can't eat food as he read the news of job at factory.Throughout the whole movie they suffers from starvation andat the end our starvation is not also getting satisfied about their food and job.

Movie also shows us police and prison system of that time and now-a-days also as there is no any kind of difference at all.we can find "ડંડા investigation" there also and at present time also. Chaplin shows mall culture of present time which we can find this in this movie.(100 years back also). Another major notable matter is that though there is starvation, though they are ready to do hard work they are homeless, jobless but for women doesn't need about worry of sexual exploitation are not there. Chaplin doesn't focus on woman's body as object that it's upon us that how we mirror.
Thus, there is struggle of life in capitalist. It reflects struggle throughout the whole movie and with end also this struggle doesn't get end. But movie ends with hope and dawn.here, we may put here that pessimistic hope is better than hopeless optimism.
Good review.
