#43 Modern Times (1936)

To be fair, I watched this movie a couple months ago, but then I started my internship. I was busy. Let me start off with that I now know that I don't really care for Charlie Chaplin. I just think I am too far removed from silent movies to like them. Also, this movie was extremely preachy. I don't like peachy movies. It talked about the downfall of society because of modernization, but this film wasn't done it a clever way; just straight preachy. I think it is somewhat comical because this was 1936, and clearly we are still talking about the same things 80 years later. I think my main complaint though is that Chaplin is too slapstick for me. Anyways, I wouldn't say for you to watch it.
