Modern times, the story of a winner

Modern times it is a movie that took place in 1936 and tells the story of a man who worked in a factory. There he had to tighten some screws; it was a relly stressed work. One day he suffered a nervous breakdown, and for that reason he was dismissed. Then Chaplin had to look for a new job, but it was really a hard work. While he was looking for it, he suffered a lot of bad things, for example he was send to prison but it was an unjustified action because he did not do any crime or something like that. One day he met a beautiful and orphan girl that had not had anything. She did not have home and money, and she also had been separated from her family some days ago. When they met each other it was a really strange and unexpected situation because she had stolen a piece of bread, but when the police arrived he said that he had stolen that bread, so it was an heroic action. Then they started a life together, it was difficult because none of them had nothing, so they started looking some strategies to have their things. Also they found a little house for them. One day, Charles found a work, and everything change until the factory close, and he is sent to prison again. When he go out of prison, he knew that the girl, have found a work, and she started looking for a job to him. This is how the story goes.

I think that this movie shows us very clearly the social conditions in that period of time. Also I feel that the characters made a really good work in that movie, because they explain everything only with movements and signs, and they do it very clearly. In this movie, there is something that I really liked it, and it was the use of humour, because this makes a funny movie that keeps the attention of the spectator.


About the movie in general, I can say that it is a really good, clear, funny and beautiful movie.


So, if you want to see a realistic movie that includes a lot of humour, you should see “Modern times” by Charles Chaplin.
