Charlie Chaplin's movie, Modern Times, is a representation of the harshness of life and the sadness that comes with hopelessness. Especially the hopelessness that was existing at that time with the Great Depression. Charlie shows how hard it is for people of the working class and the struggles that they go tbrough, but at the same time he seems to tell them to continue living and to try to always be happy.
That is what I like about Chaplin, how he shows the real struggles of life of the people but at the same time shows the small miracles that can make their life worth while. The best thing is that Charlie knows what the people are going through because he experienced it himself. He doesn't have to imagine it, which means that he doesn't have to imagine what can make them happy. He doesn't have to guess what the people need to hear and see.
I like Chaplin because he honestly knows human life and he shows realistic dreams and seems to encourage you to follow them and always keep trying. Modern Times is one of the many movies that Chaplin tries to entertain us with but at the same time tries to use to inspire us. It is a great movie.
