Frame study of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and The Great Dictator


 Hello Folks,

       Usually when we watch Charlie Chaplin's movies we enjoy it a lot because of it's humor but have you ever tried to understand his movies and especially the frames used in the movie, no, me neither but today I have tried to study the Frames in Charlie Chaplin's two movies, Modern Times and The Great Dictator.






        In this Frame we can see that Charlie ( worker or employee) is in washroom, he went to washroom for a few minutes but his boss is keeping an eye on his employees even in the washroom, this is Dictatorship. This is a tyranny. 



In this Frame we can see that there's a mob of unemployed protestor and they have sign boards in their hands which says zz , but when the police arrives they all vanished and the second thing is that because of the industrial revolution machines took place of humans and humans become unemployed.

In this two Frames we can see the peaceful county life and the urban life and man's quest to earn money. Somewhere in the race of earning money human is unknowingly getting away from all the small things. 


Is it really peace established after the war? 


"Cage" symbol of the helplessness of the jew people. 

Thank you.....
