What did you think of modern times?

The film, Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin is a very good film. I have only watched I once and as I saw the film I thought it was very intresting and well thought of. The film has two main characters and instead if them being depressed about what is happening during the Great Depression, they have a good time and never give up, even if it's looking for a job or finding a home. Charlie Chaplin suprised me on how he thought of a great film that had romance comedy, and some sad scenes. The movie was a silent film,but surprisingly it was not that silent. What I mean by that is during the whole movie there was someone laughing or giggling because the movie is funny. The different scenes Chaplin created were different. Chaplin used different scenes to depict the different life style. The movie is called modern times but in reality the movie is just about the time in the 30's, except for the first scene which has some sci-fu feel. The film was very fun to watch and intresting in how even though the holm production was getting better, Chaplin decided to do everything for his film, keep it silent and black and white. A movie so old doesn't really get a lot of attention, but this movie is very intresting and it gives you a feel on how some people portrayed the history or what they did at the time of the depression. If you are into laughing, like old silent films, than Modern Times is a GREAT film!
