Chaplin's 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.
Leave your thoughts about Modern Times.
| Boston GlobeTy BurrChaplin's sentimental politics and peerless comic invention dovetailed more perfectly in this film than in any other he made. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottThe great comedian's finest comedies on the big screen. |
| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksIn Modern Times (1936), the still-silent Tramp, with his familiar small Derby hat, large boots, baggy pants, tight jacket and cane makes his last appearance. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAn ungainly masterpiece, but Chaplin's ungainliness is something one can grow fond of. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrCharlie Chaplin finally got around to acknowledging the 20th century in this 1936 film, which substitutes machine-age gags for the fading Victoriana of his other work. Consequently, it's the coldest of his major features, though no less brilliant for it. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonThe film's structure flew in the face of accepted wisdom. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisThe mechanical feeding sequence in Modern Times is probably the funniest routine in cinema history. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsChaplin's political and philosophical naivety now seems as remarkable as his gift for pantomime. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOne of the many remarkable things about Charlie Chaplin is that his films continue to hold up, to attract and delight audiences. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...an enduring masterpiece that grows more relevant with each passing day. |
