After Seeing Movie Modern time

This morning we saw a movie starring Charlie chaplin,namedModern Time.It was made in 1934,during the time of the Great Depression.In the beginning,the lens showed a lot of pigs were driven to pass a narrow passage,and then many workers crowded through acorridor went to work.In the factory the workers stood by an assembly line.They had yo work very fast and stopless.And they were under monitor even when they went to washroom!Such environment made them nervous,fretful and crazy.
In the movie,the hero was broken down finally,and was put in jail.And when they wanted to let him free,he prefered to stay in jail,because there he could keep from hunger at least!This was a tragedy,which showed in a comic way.Its style is a little like O.Henry's stories Cop and the Anthem or Gift of the Magi.
The movie told us how hard lives people lived those days.Fortunately,as the time went by, that was only history now and it had gone and never would be back.But we should know,even nowadays in the world,somewhere such as some African countries,North Korea,and even in some places in China main land,there are still some people,who live hard lives.We should pay more attention and sympathy to them.
Seeing the movie also reminded me of Charlie Chablin,the great art master.He left us more than 80 movies,some of them were just for fan and some were thought-provoking.His name will always be ih our mind.
