Charlie Chaplin’s films are mostly minimum use of language. During his time known age of ‘Silent era film’. So He said many things and critical view without language. It means that he try to say in movie through facial expression, body languages, gesture – posture. So I can say that his films like as Controversy film. He was played roll as an actor, comedian, Director and critics also who working in motion pictures spanned from 1914 to 1967.

I liked opening of film also because Movie started with ringing clock- running Sheep – Coming crowd of people like as Sheep also. It is nice organization by director. Another thing I can found development of technology and machine like as, CCTV Camera, Automatic machine for eating food. It is symbol of Industrialization and madness for machinery. How technologies help us? And how it’s harmful? There are good example and experiment in the film. In this movie I saw controlled by capitalist people on laborer. They don’t do work but also give only order and sit in front of CCTV Camera. Laborer has no time for deep breath.
Many times Department of English organized academic movie screening. So that Nowadays We will learn in sem-3 Paper no. 9 ‘Modernist English Literature’ by Pro. Dilip Barad Sir Who decide to See movie
One scene is ‘flag of red color’. Our hero picks up flag at that time crowd come behind him and he became leader of group but we know that police caught him and he closed into jail. Many comic scenes in cell. One is when police searching for smuggled ‘nose-powder.’ It’s very interesting part. There was a one scene in the prison of knitting. When woman had not freedom for writing or express their opinions or feelings they were doing knitting also. It was also symbolism.Last part of the movie both are get steady (permanent) job in cafe but police found them and both are run away from there. Here I can find that camera don’t close up of women body. It means that during that time society and people haven’t hunger for women body. So this film is example of beyond modern female working. At the End of movie very symbolic way like as “Dawn”. It is symbol of new days and also hopes. Both are walking on the road. Road also passed through mountain which indicates happy journey.
Thanks to Pro. Dilip Barad sir for organizing this movie screening session and thanks for give ideas of new way looking of movie.
