        Film Review of the movie  'Modern Time' and 'The Great Dictator'

   1)  'Modern Time':

                             
                                                 'Modern Times' a 1936 comedy film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in which his iconic little Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern industrialized world The film is show the financial condition of people, poverty and how people faced depression in some conditions. In this film Charlie Chaplin describe the modern industrialization

                            The first and very beginning scene of the film portrayed very significance meaning. In the first  seen there is the crowd of sheep. In just a second scene the crowd of people is shown. It shows the sheeple  type of idea (sheep+ people). The movie make scientific satire on the period of 1936.  It shows how people can be control.This movie shows more industrialization and people are work as machines rather than the human beings, they work like a machines in the factories.


                                     There is no time for enjoy life, people kill their freedom for earn money, and because of that people might loss their sincerity of work. The scientific idea of eating food machine,which feed the food automatically, it makes  satire on modern time and industrialization.

                By this movie we can know that not only in India' writers write about poverty, but also in America writers write and concentration on poverty and poor people.
  
 
                                 In the very last scene of this movie it also shows many things. In this scene we can see the road, mountains and both the main characters walking on the road. the road symbolizes that there is a long journey for them and life goes on... mountains shows that behind the mountains there is a new world of happiness hidden behind the mountains.

                  So, here we can find some symbols like road, mountains, crowd of people'  and crowd of sheep., it symbolizes many things.



2) 'The Great Dictator':


                            The Great Dictator is a 1940 American political satire comedy Drama film written and starring by Charlie Chaplin. we know that Charlie Chaplin's most of the films are silent films, in to the period of sound films, this was Chaplin's first true sound film.


                        In this film Charlie Chaplin played double roles. First is ruthless fascist dictator and a other is persecuted Jewish barber. this film shows the period between two world war. The very first scene film start with the scene of world war (1918). After 20 years of the war a Jewish barber loss his memory, and suffering from amnesia and  not having aged a single day. the barber is looking like Hynkel, the dictator.and because of some reasons the barber go to the country of Osterlich and
Hynkel arrested in spite of the barber. the barber gives his speech in spite of Hynkel. He never gives speech in his life but at the end for freedom he gives very nice thoughts and speech. He said that he was a change of heart and he makes an impassioned plea for brotherhood and good will.
