Modern Times

Industrialization had a huge influence on people’s life and that influence is still present in our times. One of the influences of this period is the introduction of the technology with smart machines that involved a high rate of unemployment. This fact is represented in the movie with the father of the girl that lost his job and also with the protests on the street.

Industrialization brought a new way of working that it is known as mass production and this type of production was characterized because of there were less expenses and much profits. With this new way of production the small producers were hardly affected because their products were more expensive that the ones made in mass production.

Mass production is represented in the movie when Chaplin was working in a factory and with him there were other men working all together in a conveyor belt and each one had a specific task, so the product was not made by one person, was made by all the workers because each of them contribute to make the product.
