The new adaptation of Chaplin’s Modern Times stresses the absurd scale of technological progress. Due to the progress, humankind does not develop, it becomes atrophied. Hoverboards are a clear evidence of this phenomenon as they free us from the need to walk; and with the prosthetic chassis we are transforming into semi-machines. The identical interpretation key about serial and monotone character of our modern world can be seen in the aerial pictures of identical turnkey houses. The machine-structured reality enslaves us.
Reviews
Good movie but grossly overrated
A different way of telling a story
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
