Modern Times review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/31/12
Some scenes were a bit exaggerated and one scene had people sitting in the café and then when Chaplin and the girl were chased they were suddenly empty chairs. The eating machine was innovative and the roller skating sequence was breathtaking. It showcased the singing talents of Charlie Chaplin. It had a hopeful conclusion despite all the chases and somewhat depressing themes of loss, unemployment and being in the other side of the law. Modern Times is still a good comedy with elements of love, staying hopeful and working hard.
