Modern Times (1936) is Charlie Chaplin's brilliant satirical masterpiece commenting on the struggles of working people during the Great Depression and the rise of industrial automation. When The Little Tramp suffers a nervous breakdown from repetitive assembly-line work, his life turns into a series of misadventures including factory tests, accidental protests, prison stints, and romantic dreams of a better life alongside "The Gamin" (Paulette Goddard). Featuring famous sequences such as the feeding machine experiment, the assembly line gears, and Chaplin's iconic nonsense song performance, Modern Times marks the final screen appearance of Chaplin's legendary Little Tramp character.
