About the movie:
Modern Times (1936) is a silent comedy film directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin. The movie is set during the Great Depression and follows Chaplin's iconic character, the Tramp, as he struggles to survive in a rapidly industrializing world.
The film opens with the Tramp working on an assembly line at a factory, where he is driven to the brink of madness by the repetitive and dehumanizing nature of the work. He eventually loses his job and ends up in prison, only to be released into a harsh society where unemployment and poverty are widespread.
Why should your kid attend this screening?
Introduction to Classic Cinema: It’s a great way to introduce children to the history of film, particularly silent films and early cinema. The visual storytelling and Chaplin's physical comedy are timeless and can inspire an appreciation for film artistry.
Slapstick Humor: The film’s use of slapstick comedy — exaggerated physical actions and visual gags — is entertaining for kids and can help them develop an understanding of humor that transcends language.
Social Awareness: The film subtly introduces children to concepts of social justice, equality, and the effects of industrialization on society. It can spark discussions about empathy, the challenges people face, and the importance of fairness.
Cultural and Historical Context: Watching Modern Times gives kids a sense of history, particularly the Great Depression, and how it affected people's lives. It can encourage curiosity about the past and promote understanding of how society has evolved.
