neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Modern Times (1936) for the millionth time this morning. It remains a perfect film. But it’s a shame that after 90 years, the film’s message (widespread dehumanization in a progressively automated world) is no longer relevant. Oh well

The themes in Chaplin's classic (homelessness, worker exploitation, increased workplace automation) seem evergreen, so due for a rewatch. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 543
positive · AI labelView post →The song Smile has been my magic talisman this year: whenever I find myself spiraling, losing hope, I come back to its simple, grounding premise. Originally composed by Charlie Chaplin for his fittingly titled 1936 film Modern Times, John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons later added the profound lyrics.

neutral · AI labelView post →On this date in 1936, Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times opened in New York City. It was the last film in which his beloved and iconic character “the Little Tramp” appeared, and it was the only film to include Chaplin’s voice.
neutral · AI labelView post →Day 3: Favorite movie from before 1970. Sure, Citizen Kane (1941). I get it, Modern Times (1936). I see you and I love you, North By Northwest (1959). But the movie before 1970 that brings me the most joy has to be Batman (1966). #moviemadness

positive · AI labelView post →It's kind of a tossup between Modern Times and City Lights for my favorite silent film. Both are brilliant. But Modern Times does have Paulette Goddard, who I adore. One of my favorite classic movie actresses. 📽️🎥 filmsky
