An American film made in 1936. Produced, written, directed, and starring Charles Chaplin. Made between City Lights (1931) and The Great Dictator (1940), Chaplin sings meaningless lyrics without any dialogue, and the only sound we can hear is his voice. It is a part-talkie film with music (also composed by Chaplin) and sound, and is an important work in the transition of Chaplin's art from silent to talkie. At the beginning, a subtitle appears that reads, "Modern Times is the story of industrial society and the efforts of individuals within it - the struggle of human beings in pursuit of happiness."
