a silent film using everything that had improved in film making to 1936 except sound (it's actually a strange blend of silent and non-silent), and it works quite nicely. every player in this movie is top notch and it's quality is--in every way--superb.

Okay, I now accept that Chaplin's comedy just isn't for me. This is one of his best movies, and I did find some parts mildly humorous, but for me it wasn't great. Seeing our hero repeatedly take it in the shorts because of bad luck and his own bungling stupidity makes me too tense to have my sense of humor tickled. But where the humor failed for me, the pathos (coupled with a decent social commentary) was successful and for that I enjoyed Modern Times.

(after repeat viewings) The social commentary, comedy and drama all work perfectly on their own yet not as a whole because of how abrupt the tonal shift feels. It's still great, timeless and exceedingly funny (the scene where he picks up the wedge which leads to the sinking boat is comedy gold). Love the ending.

Pretty good. A few genuine laughs (boat scene was hilarious). Loved the ending. It is the last American film to use title cards as dialogue from the silent era so it's only fitting that Charlie gets the final words. The song near the end was pretty bad though.

It's interesting for the social commentary, but I wasn't really entertained apart from the wonderful factory scenes. Too many scenes just went by where nothing really interesting happens, either visually or story-wise. Maybe I was just hoping for more of Chaplin's wonderful physical shenanigans. The ending was perfectly bittersweet.

Obviously a marvelously crafted piece of comedy, full of brilliant ideas, incisive satire and just plain fun. And yet, the little tramp just doesn't ring my bell. Maybe the character just doesn't appeal to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I simply didn't feel entertained by what I could recognize as an entertaining film. I smiled a few times, but other than that, nothing. But I still can recognize that this is a great movie, just not my kinda thing.

One of Chaplin's greatest, sure it doesn't have the huge romantic value as City Lights, but whatever this film lacks in romance, is made up with hilarious slapstick comedy. But there still is romance! This film made me laugh like no other film, and over 70 years late nontheless! The Tramp character is so charming, I really adore him a lot here. This film never gets old. Classic Chaplin.

Modern Times is an excellent film with excellent humor and excellent timing. The social commentary comes off as a bit obvious today, but I'm sure it felt very relevant at the time. In any case, large parts of the film are still hilarious 70 years after they were made, and I'm sure they'll be just as hilarious 70 years from now. Timeless.

A beautiful, poignantly satirical masterpiece; opens with its highlight, a breathlessly hilarious take on technology run amok (clearly an inspiration for one of Lucy's most famous sketches); while nothing ever quite tops this sequence for sheer brilliance, the rest is still a remarkable achievement, as Chaplin takes aim at capitalism and consumerism, while constructing elaborate (and while rollerskating terrifying) comedic set pieces. And what a finale - Chaplin talks!!!

Chaplin's best; a wildly romantic anti-utopian story that pits the little tramp against Big Brother, with neither side emerging as the clear-cut victor. So much has been written about this that Freder does not need to add anything other than "it's all true." No one who calls themselves a movie fan can afford to ignore this one.

Modern Times is the culmination of Chaplin's work in silent films. In a way the comedy almost transcends mere slapstick, with polished editing (for the time) that selectively speeds up sequences in scenes, making the action effectively a dance number. The jokes are often funny & occasionally clever but I'm surprised the social commentary stoked communism fears at the time. Workers rights, industrial obsolescence & an easier life ≠ communism. Chaplin's a legend & Goddard's pretty...great too.

Filled with brilliant slapstick comedy throughout: the factory scene, the drugs, the boat, ad infinitum. I did think there were some weaker moments, but Chaplin is so resolutely good-natured that I can't help but love him. Plus, no one nails a bittersweet ending like he does.

The satire is great, and the comedy is great for most of it (and even when it's not, the Tramp is just so charming that he carries it anyways), and the movie's just so bloody fun. When you watch Modern Times, you can't help but feel a pervasive sense that Chaplin was a genius, and made what he did into an artform. Score is not a grade.

Not as good as I expected it to be. Many of the scenes just seemed like funny isolated incidents. There's less of a cohesive story here than in Chaplin's other films. I liked it, but it was less funny than something like The Gold Rush, and less romantic than something like City Lights. Although I must say that the ending is abundantly sentimental, which I love. Speaking of The Gold Rush, they definitely re-used that set in this film. Or maybe it was a direct homage. Either way, I didn't mind.

The sound design is not just unique, it's brilliant in the manner which it lends a voice to the mechanical and simultaneously robs its characters of agency. The social commentary, romance and slapstick humor all intertwine beautifully (if occasionally recklessly), with the Tramp's self-sufficiency flying in the face of an increasingly mechanized age. On a lighter note, Paulette Goddard is a straight-up hottie in this movie; baby, you can get truant with me any day.

(viewed October 2012) Frequently very funny, but the gags often go on a bit too long--the comedy is a bit like watching live-action Looney Toons (I don't mean this to be derogatory). It feels too much like a series of loosely connected (and often predictable) vignettes rather than a seamless whole. From a modern perspective, the sound design seems somewhat odd, though I understand how it could be seen as innovate for its time. Goddard is quite captivating, but the romance did little for me.

Rebelliously produced after the awkward transition to talkies, Chaplin kept silent (ish), with sound in a minor role. The mix of social commentary & (chiefly) silent, slapstick humour mostly works but feature-length comic mishaps ala job incompetence is repetitive at best. Flaws aside, it's a beautiful farewell to a dying art, with Chaplin's move to the modern way conveyed through the climactic reveal of his voice, yet not without a cheeky wink, as nothing but gibberish falls from his lips.

Chaplin's stubbornly delayed adjustment to sound moviemaking (solely for some stomach-growling sound effects and for a little ditty sung in gibberish) offers a slapstick treatment of the Expressionists' man-versus-machine anxieties. Doing this in 1936 is characteristic of Chaplin's foot-dragging throughout his career. A few of the "bits," such as the automatic feeding contraption, belong however in the Best-of-Chaplin anthologies.

Charlie attacks the machine age in inimitable fashion, with sharp pokes at other social ills and the struggle of modern-day survival. Chaplin's last silent film (with his own music -- including "Smile" -- sound effects and gibberish song) is consistently hilarious, and unforgettable. FInal shot is among Chaplin's most famous and most poignant.

Any political message is superficial at best, and despite having a number of great sequences, none of them rank among his very best. The assembly line gag was done better by Rene Clair 5 years earlier and nothing has the poetic sophistication of the boxing match in City Lights. Despite all that, Chaplin undeniably had an artistic and technical understanding of the medium far beyond most of contemporaries and Modern Times is still a great comedy a great drama and the best film of 1936.

Though the laughs are less than in some of Chaplin's past work and the romance is familiar, it stands out for its commentary on mindless industrialism, its assembly lines draining people of their creativity, vitality and freedom, the authorities that fervently go after society's outcasts, and the system that eats up its own children and chews them out, trapping them in their plights. The hilarity is of course there and the finale is deeply touching in its simplicity, optimism and defiance.

Chaplin is most often associated with comedy, but Modern Times, among others of his films, shows that he extended far beyond a simple comedian. He was an artist. MT beautifully blends comedy, pathos, humanism, and social commentary. Some of Chaplin's funniest bits come in this film (the eating machine, the singing waiter), but also his most heartfelt (the conclusion with the Gamin). MT stands as one of the great achievements, not only of Chaplin's career, but in all of cinematic history.

This one's gotta be my favorite Chaplin movie. It was obviously a really heartfelt theme for him to deal with, involving the rapid advancement of technology. It's a silent movie, but people's voices can be heard if they're speaking over a loudspeaker or radio or some other piece of technology. These heavy themes lie under a relatively lighthearted plot. The ending is bittersweet, but the last line in the last scene works perfectly.

I geuss the symbolism of man getting stuck in a literal machine is pretty neat, but other than that this in the end doesn't differentiate itself from the mass produce that are structures underlying Chaplin movies; from the unfortunate or poor and oblivious man trying to find love with the same slapstick routines often failing in their comedic intent, in part because of how annoyingly exaggerated its marxist vision ultimately is, and in part due to its dependence on projection by the viewer..

I think it's probably Chaplin's funniest, and I enjoyed the social commentary quite a bit. I couldn't really find myself engaged with the story or the romance...but maybe it's just a victim of an unfair comparison to City Lights

Sanayi devrimi ve ekonomi buhranda Şarlo. Charlie Chaplin'in bu ölümsüz ve unutulmaz eseri, patronların işçilere yapılan zulüm, parasızlık, açlık, işsizlik, iş güvenliği, haksızlık ve şehir hayatında yaşanılan varoşluğu anlatmış. Harika sahnelerin olduğu film, aşk hikayesi ile kalpleri yumuşatıyor. Çok karamsar olmamak için, güldüren sahneler ile hayata umutla bakıyor. Filmin sonunda, yolumuz uzun gençliğimiz var. İşçiler kardeş patronlar kalleş.

This would be a fair amount better if not for the incredibly annoying and out-of-place moments of sound.

Truly inspired physical comedy and clever social commentary. A fun little delight that's still enjoyable today.

Chaplin's great Modern Times! One of his legendary films. I think I still love The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925) and City Lights (1931) more then this, but it's a Top-5 Chaplin for sure! This is the one with the classic scenes where he gets driven into the machine. Fellow Keystone'er Chester Conklin too! The heart-skipping roller-skating scene where he almost runs over the edge without knowing it! And where he first sings! And it's a delight seeing a silent film still coming in 1936!

izlediğim en mükemmel filmlerden birisiydi. Gerçekten Şarlo hayranı olmak normalmiş. Ayrıca Kemal Sunal vblerinin ne kadar bu adamı taklit ettiğinin yanı sıra filmlerinden de ne kadar alıntı yapıldığını anlıyor insan. Bir dergiye neden isim olduğunu da ve yıllardır neden konuşulduğunu da. Büyük adammışsın Şarlo Baba mekanın cennet olsun.

I had to write about this for an art school essay. I watched it so closely and so many times that I fell in love.

A slapstick skewering of industrialized America, Modern Times is as politically incisive as it is laugh-out-loud hilarious.

surprisingly good. has very little of the cloying sentimentality of most of his other films, feeling more genuine, although it hasn't rid of it entirely. there is also more to it than silly entertainment, being about life in modern society, and however shallow it may be, it is still nice to see. and it's also funnier than his other films, transcending the limitations of his usual slapstick. essentially better in every way.

My favorite Chaplin movie (and I love most of the feature films). Has a message that still applies today, has great and funny stunts, and was his first foray into including sound. For my money this is his most funny movie as well. Would be the one I recommend to people if anyone cared to ask.
