The Nonsense Song

      in the film  Modern Times
"
 

                Introduction     

                     Modern Times" is acknowledged to be the last of the great silent movies. Although it  

                     does have some sound, there is no spoken dialogue.        

                    "Modern Times" contains famous and enduring images that constitute  significant social

                     commentaries on industrialized societies. It is also an excellent introduction to

                     silent films, to Charlie Chaplin (one of the greatest actor/directors of all time), and to his

                      classic "Little Tramp" character.

                      This movie will also introduce you to the assembly line, the poverty

                     of the Great Depression, the labor unrest that occurred during the Great Depression,

                     and the  redbaiting that was used to suppress labor unions.
