"14.4. 2026 The legendary character played by Chaplin is looking for work and love in modern industrial society, where technological advancement is rapid and often impractical. Chaplin's depiction of capital industries is sharp and even prophetic: leaders have voice while ordinary workers are silent. The large screens watch over the workers relentlessly, not giving them a moment's peace. It is also important to note that for the capitalists who control the factories, the pursuit of profits often"

"Before there were special effects, CGI graphics and matrix-style action sequences in film, there was human physical talent. And in the early 1900's, the height of this talent was displayed to movie viewing audiences through the almost impossible stunt routines of Charlie Chaplin. back then, watching his ability to choreograph and incorporate his crazy stunts into the props and background sets (particularly in this film, with the complicated set designs of the factory) must've been the equivalent"

" Director: Charlie Chaplin His 7th movie My 7th movie watched from the director Finally I get the chance to see this Chaplin classic! It's kind of ridiculous it took me so long. Bonus I watched it with my wife and son, trying to get them into Chaplin.

It truly is top-notch Chaplin and the comedy holds up while the "
