I have attached a copy of my discussion post from last week as well as the rubrics for the final project assignments. Hello, everyone!
After some inner-debate, I decided to watch Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. Although the
movie was mostly silent, it was able to hold my attention using elements from the Classical
Hollywood Narrative Style. Films that use Classical Hollywood Narrative Style incorporate
settings that are realistic and relatable to draw their audience’s attention. Chaplin uses several
settings in his movie that people during the 1920s could relate to. In the opening scene, we see a
large group of factory workers rushing from a subway tunnel towards their workplace (Chaplin).
During the early 1900s, factory work provided jobs for a large number of people in society.
Another element that Chaplin incorporates in his film is the use of intertitles. Intertitles are slides
that contain a word or group of words that are separate from the actual scene (Merriam-Webster).
Shortly after the Tramp causes the unfinished boat to drift into the water, a slide appears. The
slide informs the audience that he now more than ever has made up his mind to go back to jail
(Chaplin). Similar to A Trip to the Moon, the technique of fading is used to give a sense of
continuity in the film. One example of fading to black is shown in the department store scene as
the Tramp and the Gamin movie to the fourth floor.
In my opinion, the main reason that the film is an example of the Classical Hollywood Narrative
style is because of the overall plot. Like many films of this time, Modern Times tells a story that
starts with regular day-to-day activities but then progresses a conflict ensues. The Tramp faces
several challenges after having a mental breakdown and going to prison, but he was not the only
one having a tough time. He meets the Gamin, who is also dealing with troubles such as being
orphaned and hungry. The two of them decide to try to build a life together and no matter what
they try something always stand in the way. In the end, they are resolved to leave and find
happiness together. In line with the Classical Hollywood Narrative, the film progresses through
the plot until the characters can find something close to a resolution.
Charlie Chaplin also used his film to depict socioeconomic issues of his time. Modern Times
focuses on the mass unemployment rates caused by the Great Depression. At the start of the film,
the director captures the rush of a heard of sheep. Chaplin uses allegory to connect the
relationship to the sheep in their pen to lower-class workers. The quick steps of the sheep suggest
that there is some fear or that they are being preyed upon. This literary device shows that the
lower-class members were often preyed upon and forced to work in unsafe conditions during this
era by those in power. Modern Times was a comical portrayal of the fears that plagued humanity.
Early in the film, we see that technology becomes more prevalent in the ever-present televisions
monitors and the feeding machine that the gentlemen tested on the Tramp. During the Great
Depression, some jobs were lost due to advancements in technology and automation. The film
also touches on a time when it was easy for someone to be wrongfully accessed and imprisoned
without further thought. An example of this social issue is shown when the Tramp is arrested as
the leader of the protesting factory workers. This is after he finds a flag on the ground and trying
to return it to the rightful owners (Chaplin). The Great Depression was hard on many families
and caused deaths and irrational actions such as when Big Bill and his friend try to rob the
department store.
I could go on and on about the literary elements, and socioeconomic issues depict in this film,
but I am going to end it here. Although this was my first time watching the film, it was insightful
and worth every minute.
