Movie screening of Modern times by Charlie chaplin. (25th June ,2019)

 we have watched the movie
#CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN MODERN TIMES #
Charlie Chaplin was an English comic actor, film maker and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He also called as #polymath # he can do many work at one time. Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films.  We can find chaplin's image or acting in Indian actor Raj Kapoor. Raj kapoor was the first Indian actor to imitate Charlie Chaplin.

           

             It started with Bollywood icon Raj Kapoor and travelled through many actors. Raj Kapoor's grandson Ranbir Kapoor is the latest actor to bring alive Chaplin on the Indian screen. So, the movie open with an good frame of clock which says many things to us. The movie's tone is comic. It's a full comedy movie but it tells tragic story. Though the film is silent it uses less language it tells us about that time,people, condition. With the entertaining and minor symbols we understand much. The movie shows zeitgeist of chaplin's days. In the movie we can see that the unemployment and hunger were at the center. 

                 In the movie we find most of the people are unemployed. Here chaplin shows America's condition in modern time it was a time in America that most of People are facing unemployment. For the job they are doing STRIKES and RIOTS. It was the time of depression. Unemployment is the thing which in contemporary time also take place. charlie is writing on America which is already a good and rich country still his insight goes on this type of problems.

         

            The film shows ANTI - CAPITALIST. We can also see in movie industrialization and Mechanical life of the humanbeing. There time people are doing all thing for to fill their stomach. Even in the movie thief  are coming for food. Normally the women are doing knitting and this kind of work but in movie we find in prison one male person is doing knitting. Chaplin and the girl were dreamt of HOME, fresh fruit, milk, food. Even on dream they think about food. They Encounter many problems. But at the end chaplin get steadily job. The movie shows three types of symbols which are CLOCK, SHEEP, PEOPLE. The movie ends with the DAWN which shows a good sign of hope and  progress,  long road with mountains.

   

       

So, it was a very interesting movie for me to watch.I would like to say Thank you so much to  Barad sir for organizing this type of movie screening.
