Modern Times (1936) - Tempos Modernos

The Tramp struggles to live in modern industrial society with the help of a young homeless woman.

Chaplins last 'silent' film, filled with sound effects, was made when everyone else was making talkies. Charlie turns against modern society, the machine age, (The use of sound in films ?) and progress. Firstly we see him frantically trying to keep up with a production line, tightening bolts. He is selected for an experiment with an automatic feeding machine, but various mishaps leads his boss to believe he has gone mad, and Charlie is sent to a mental hospital... When he gets out, he is mistaken for a communist while waving a red flag, sent to jail, foils a jailbreak, and is let out again. We follow Charlie through many more escapades before the film is out.

Damn, Paulette Goddard is one beautiful woman.

[CosmicCaprice]

what a great movie! what a great ending! they couldn't have any peaceful life in modern times only because she stole a loaf of bread; so they became fugitives and helped each other to be happy, though they were multi talented individuals.

in real life she (Paulette Goddard) was in love with Charlie Chaplin and they got married too.

I guess factory safety standards were just a bit lower in those days.
