MODERN TIMES

Firstly, i would like to say that Modern Times, which is romantic comedy film in 1936 by USA, is one of the best film i ve ever seen.The film’s leading players are Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddrad. The movie stated in a factory. In this factory, I see the type of manufacturing process is repetetive because of i ve seen the assembly line in the film.The factory maybe produces car or some kinds of machines because i saw Charlie Chaplin screws nuts onto pieces of machinery in the film. I think the products that are produced in the factory is maden by steel or iron. The factory manager tries to increase productivity by increasing the speed of assembly line so much and he also doesnt want to lose time while the workers are eating meal. Because of this, an engineer discovered an machine. Thanks to this machine, they think that employees can also work while they are at lunch. The factory manager never wants to lose time in assembly line. In this way, he thinks that he can increase productivity by increasing the speed of assembly line and no break time. In the factory, they have got a production monitoring system. The manager of factory can see all the production of factory in his room. He also manages everythings in his room. For instance; he says to employee increase the speed of assembly line. He also can see when an employee doesnt work. For example; when Charlie Chaplin went to toilet for smoking, the factory manager saw him and warned him for returning to his job. The manager says on monitoring system “ Hey, quit stalling. Get back to work. Go on” I think it is really modern considering the date of the movie. Because the movie was maden in 1936. This technology was really good in 75 years before. The movie takes place in 1936 in USA. In those days, there was the Great Depression. The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The Great Depression started in 1930. It

    The official start of the Great Depression was originated in United States, during the day of October 29, 1929, referring to the article in New York Times. During that day, which was called Black Tuesday, a big economic problem appeared - the stock market crash. A huge amount of people lost a lot of their money just in one day. Prices on stock market fell down very quickly and people did not even get the money that they invested, they lost even more than half they invested. Prices kept falling - people kept losing their money. Secondly, with this crash, the banking system collapsed too. "The banking structure was inherently weak", wrote John Kenneth Galbraith in The Great Crash, which actually was one of the causes of the collapse. This situation appeared because people could not pay their money for using credit system, and so banks were 'destroyed' - "The weak destroyed not only the other weak, but weakened the strong...", says John Kenneth Galbraith. With these two incredibly bad situations, another, the worse one appeared - unemployment. Looking at the U.S. Unemployment from Historical Statistics of the United States, it is easy to see how it rose up by more than 5% between 1929 and 1930, and by more than 18% between 1926 and 1935 (with farmers (it was even worse w/o farmers)). People were starving - they did not have any money, even for food. A lot of people died because of starving in 1930s in United States. People couldn't find any jobs and so…

    Classical Hollywood films in the Golden Age in the United States contained complex storylines with cause-and-effect. For Hollywood filmmakers, the Classical Hollywood style was a persuasive and effective form of storytelling. Classical Hollywood cinema was by no means simplistic, as many films have complex plot webs. Because Classical Hollywood filmmakers used continuity editing, their focus was not to be as artistic as possible. One of the biggest differences between Classical Hollywood cinema and the Soviet Montage cinema lies in the causal agents—psychological vs. social.…
