Modern Times

Finally, I rented DVD's including some of the films that Daniel recomended!

I selected:
● "Modern Times"
● "Before Sunset"
● "Casablanca"
● "The Barbarian Invasions" 
● "Butterfly tongues"
● "Il ferroviere"

I wanted to rent "Citizen Kane" and "The light", but unfortunately i didn't have enough money to rent them :( Next time I will!! rent

Today I watched Modern Times.

Although Charles Chaplin filmed this during (or "about") The Great Depression, even today I laughed! one when the age of Capitalism今もだけど笑

I felt as though the film portrayed like People as one of the toothed wheel in the society. At the beginning of the film, the president didnt do the work himself (I mean operation work) but he just indicate to ordered around the workers. I was took a class in bureaucracy, so i was interested in this scene :)

I think this movie gave the power and hope needed to live in that society to the people (especialy workers). In this movie, many people did not have a job (because many people come to factory) and so decided to strike.
At that time people had big uneasiness about their futures.

In this film, Chaplin and a woman try to make their dreams come true, even they don't have life time work stable employment and were puted into prison. People could understand Chaplin and woman's feelings; dream and reality... There are many reason ways that people can emphathize with this movie...I think. Empathize! Good word :)

I think this movie's message is "Buck up- never say die. We'll get along!"
The last scene was beautiful and filled with the hope for life:) When they walked down the street, Chaplin said her "Smile!" then she smiled, holding hands with each other... Wonderful! I love this ending scene.
I felt the same happiness as when i watched "It is a wonderful life".

Today I am going to ("a" or "the" should be here unless "Summer festival" is the name of the festival!) Summer festival with my friends:)
I would like to watch "Butterfly tongues" tonight.

Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day.
