Welcome Readers !
On 25th June 2019, there was a film screening of "The Modern Times" organized by the Department of English, Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University.
The film is directed and acted by a polymath, Charles Chaplin in the year of 1936.
The word polymath is used for a multi-talented person who does all task single-handed, even though they are from different field.
The very title suggests that in the year of 1936, the time was changing and many new things were being introduced. After the industrial revolution, machines took place of human workers and silently, the people started becoming slave of machinery.
There is no doubt that Charles Chaplin make us laugh even without saying a single word but he also conveys a great message by his humorous and eye-catching acting.
As a director, Chaplin utilized every single frame of the film.
The film is set on the time during the great depression when thousands of people became jobless.
The tone of this film is comedy and laughter, but still it tells a tragic story about how people suffered from joblessness and craving for job, how people were used to work monotonously in giant factories, and working as a small part of machines. The film satires the overuse of machinery, and how the humans have become slave of them.
After becoming free from jail a sheriff writes a recommendation letter, and on the basis of that letter he get a job at departmental store as a timekeeper. but again the chain of going jail and being free continues, at the end of the movie he conveys a message that one should keep on trying and never stop. the significance of last morning scene is indicating hope.
By the screening of this film students became familiar with the time of The Great Depression and what were the zeitgeist of Chaplin's days, and students also came to know that how the movie is critically appreciated and reviewed.

The significance of the first screen shows the time of 6 o'clock.
Joblessness had increased so much that one had to steal food from restaurants and thus, once a person having good job had become a thief.
