Film 69 "Modern Times" IMDB No. 69

What's the use of trying?


1936 Charles Chaplin
Chaplin plays a bumbling idiot who can't it seems even walk properly, I blame the stupidly big trousers and oversized shoes. He can't hold a job down and ends up on the streets where a series of events leads him to be living with a young lady.
This was Chaplins last 'silent' movie. I don't understand how he managed to make so many films doing basically the same thing in all of them.
The only good bit is the dancing in the cafe.
4/10 for the dancing.
