“Modern Times” is a film which shows us how industrialization changed people’s life.
The thing is that we can see trough the movie how many people suffered because they couldn’t find a job. Almost everyone worked in these factories where they were not treated like real people. They were workers with no rights or even decent salary.
So, what it brings modernity was mass production. This one was known because of fewer expenses and many profits. After all small producers were affected in a huge way. As a result, they could not sell their products because those were too expensive. Thus, people who had factories made things in mass productions and they were the only ones who had the opportunity to have a decent life.
To sum up, we can clearly see that there was no class mobility during those times. Chaplin showed us how hard it was to live in those circumstances in a funny way but it wasn’t funny at all. We could see how people were almost slaves of factories just because they wanted to have some food to take it home.
