Nhil B BYUH Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times Being told that we were going to watch a 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie made me excited. I have never seen any of his films so I did not know what to expect. Seeing the movie title as “Modern Times”‚ however‚ made me think that the film is about the lives of the people during the Great Depression. As it turned out‚ I was correct. But aside from showing the concerns and difficulties of those who lived during a severe economic depression‚ the film also

Response 1 Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times (1936) Silent films were of huge proportion in the early 1900’s. It wasn’t until the advent of sound in 1927‚ with the production of “The Jazz Singer” that would indefinitely change the ever-expanding landscape of cinema.

What you are about to see in the film City Lights (1931) is a funny and emotional motion picture. This is an extraordinary silent film; it is poetic‚ moving‚ and tender. Charlie Chaplin is a master at comedic pantomime‚ conveying everything he does without the necessity of actually talking‚ but through the universal language of movement‚ gestures‚ and reactionary expressions. The film humorously displays the misadventures of the “Little Tramp” character and the harsh reality of The Great Depression

Although Charlie Brown may have the same ambitions or goals for his education set up for him in the future‚ at the moment he does not put any focus into the idea‚ predominantly because from what I can infer‚ he simply does not have the mindset that puts something so distant as a main priority. Charlie Brown has the accurate mindset of an ordinary child‚ while Linus thinks past his age and into his future which causes him to stress over minuscule things that may not be an issue to Charlie Brown‚ such
