** This movie was realeased on February 25 1936, written and directed by Charlie Chaplin himself. Also was the star of the movie.Chaplins last 'silent' film, filled with sound effects, was made when everyone else was making talkies. Charlie turns against modern society, the machine age. Firstly we see him 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. He Then meets a pretty homeless woman who tries to help him the best way she can he is just so clumsy. Charlie does through many more situations during the film. What I like about this movie, is that it is about 60 some years old, and it still can make people laugh. And, it can make teenagers laugh! thats really hard nowadays with a movie that old. Its relavent to the times in 1936 because in that time they were going through the depression. Chaplin showed how hard it was hard to get a job, and if you DO get a job its probably a hard working factory job that probably wouldnt be for you. I think he tried to make America laugh at this time, when it seemed like everyone was down, stuggeling, and depressed. The movie is relavant to this period of time because we are almost going through the same thing that we did in the 30's. The movie works today because its funny! It has stupid little instances where hes clumsy at times, and thats what makes it funny.And it also reminds us of what was going on in the 30's that had such a big impact on America at the time. **
