Modern Times


   “Modern times” is by far one of the funniest movies I have seen. That’s pretty ironic because nowadays in order for a movie to make you laugh, they have to add all kinds of different situations and include lots of props. This film is just naturally funny. Charlie Chaplin is a genius, in all aspects.  Considering all the different types if things he does for the film, he still is able to make it funny.  It almost looks like he doesn’t even have to try.  The film is a combination of fun, but yet at the same time, despair and reality. It’s set in a time where people have almost nothing and are in anguish and sadness.  Chaplin could have easily let the film end in a sad way, but he chose not to. His characters left a terrible situation with a smile. I feel this is a testament to how genius the film is and also the type of man Chaplin is.
