Director: Charlie Chaplin
Reflections: Hello Charlie Chaplin! Before this flick, I never realized what an advocate Chaplin was for social change. Modern Times paints a haunting picture of American industrial capitalistic culture by telling the story of a factory worker (Charlie Chaplin) as he works himself crazy in the great human machine. After facing jail time and giving audiences from good laughs, the factory worker (known as The Tramp) meets a lovely young homeless woman. Together they embrace the idea of a simple life and walk off into the sunset. Absolutely awesome.
