My favorite Chaplin film of all was also his last silent film (9 years after the first talkie, always the procrastinator). As usual, he writes, directs, composes and stars, in true auteur fashion. A harsh criticism on industrialization, Chaplin plays an overworked factory worker who decides he's much better off in prison. Paulette Goddard plays the quintessential orphan girl (who I am madly in love with). Contains the strongest, most beautiful, yet simplest ending images I've ever seen in a movie...the only true remedy against "modern times."5 nonsense songs out of 5
