Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
thecustompackagingboxescom I always love charlie chaplin. Love to watch again and again. Great messages without speaking
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Modern Times (1936)' is considered to be the last American 'Silent Film', made long after the era had essentially come to a close. It's fitting, then, that some use of sound seeps into the piece and usually signifies the modernisation of society, machines replacing man and bringing audio with them. It also gives us the first taste of The Tramp's voice, as he is forced into an uncomfortable situation simply to find work - though the song he sings is gibberish to keep the scene universally understandable. This picture is perhaps Chaplin's finest silent work because it not only has a message, taking a stance against the industrialisation of the workforce and its replacement by unthinking machines, but is also riotously entertaining throughout. It puts a smile on your face in the first scene and keeps it there until the last. Each slapstick set-piece comes incredibly close to brilliance, with a few easily crossing that threshold, and the feature is funny in the way only a film of this kind could be. It really is effortlessly entertaining and endlessly enjoyable, remaining a purely visual threat from beginning to end with some fantastic themes and inventive scenes. There isn't really a moment that doesn't work and the Tramp remains as endearing as ever. It's made even better because of its underlying point, one that is all the more relevant today and was actually somewhat clairvoyant, and is certainly one of the most purely cinematic pictures I've ever seen. A proper Chaplin classic. 7/10
chrisw-17947 This is not only my favorite silent movie because Charlie Chaplin is in it, it is because it has hilarious moments and tells an intriguing story throughout the film. Just an instant classic!
sauhraab_grover1 in what so ever mood you are, watching Chaplin will make you happy with laughter, great actor, great performer, important film for every child, adult or any old person. and almost 80 years of ruling the hearts of people with performance, humor, acting, innocence.things will come out good if motive is truly to make people happy and smiling, and to make people forget their sad moments of life.superb comedy with great message funny sweet and awesome film
