June 11 2009:Charlie Chaplin a comic and tragic hero together, of Modern Times....

MODERN TIMES
This is one of Chaplin's most appreciated films, highly
entertaining,funny, and human but at the same time deeply critical
invites us to look at the desparate employment and fiscal conditions that
many people faced during the Great Depression in the 30's created
by Chaplin's unigue view by the effieciences of modern Industrialization.
Although a 30's film, can stand as a strong commment of ''today's modernity'' as well....
Short Synopsis: Charlie Chaplin plays a man struggling to survive in the modern world,
working in a factory under very hard conditions. Soon, he falls into a mental
breakdown and thus sent to a hospital. Following his recovery, thought as a Communist leader
by mistake, he is put into jail.There, he is hailed to a hero and finally released due to a series
of accidental episodes. Chaplin, as soon as he is part again of the free world, he realises
that he prefers to turn back into jail, unable to stand the hard conditions of everyday life.
Determinated to return back into the jail, he is trying desparately to get arrested again,
and thus involved into various funny situations.
