Episode 15—Modern Times: I Dream of Comedy in Long Shot
Update: 2021-10-13
Description
In the final installment of our series on labor, we examine Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 film Modern Times, the Tramp’s last film appearance and the only time where audiences heard the iconic silent character’s voice.
In this episode, we contemplate Chaplin as a talented artist, modern philosopher, and flawed individual. We compare Modern Times to contemporary films, analyze its humanist vision for meaning in a machine world, and reveal the extent of Frankee’s love for Charlie Chaplin movies.
“Buck up - never say die. We’ll get along!”
