"Modern Times" is the first film audiences hear Chaplin's voice as he performs Léo Daniderff's song "Je cherche après Titine". Charlie loses his lyrics, then improvises. (1936)

  • @moisesruedams actually Chaplin had toured Europe in the early to mid 1930's and saw first hand the frightening rise of fascism. This film Modern Times was in part a response to this. There are other themes as well

  • hahahahahahaha charlie chapin was a legend i love how he moves~FUNNYE'S GUY EVER!

  • a wonderful French-Italian nonsense song.. a masterpiece of poetry and meaningless of words where appearance is everywhere

  • 2:26 It sounds like Finnish but I'm not clear what he is talking about ... Something about taxi, I think... I think he asked some woman to come to taxi with him...

  • LOVE THIS♥

  • this looks fun. when i get it translation i hope it'll be just as fun as it looks :3

  • @OctoMoose If you think Charlie Chaplin movies have anything to do with nazism, you're retarded.

  • true its meant to be gibberish, but it is a mixture of spanish italian and french.. since he is makin it up so it makes sense fo it to be giberish..

  • its gibberish. hes hacking the talkies

    

  • @mayluca20 It's French mixed with Pig Latin, so says my Film Lit teacher.
