The language happens when the president of the factory gives order to the workers. Also, we observe the introduction title of each part of the film and the written word of the dialogues between characters and the articles in the film, for example, the warrant for the young female character. There is also some background music with the rhythm matching the plots, for example, the fleet music plays when Chaplin works in the pipeline. And we hear Chaplin singing his improvisational song in the cafe, which to me sounds like nonsense words. Most importantly, the grim voice of the president is as cold as the machines in the factory, which expresses the oppressed working environment. It shows Chaplin’s critique on the dehumanizing impact of industrialization on society, especially the lower class people. The miserable poor families become the victims of the social and political policy under of era of industrialization. We observe the conflicts between the workers living in poverty and the sole proprietorship industry, which could be interpreted as the conflicts between people’s struggling pursuit for the better life and the unbalanced society with high unemployment. The beginning of the film that workers rush into the factory and the livestock rush into the fence impresses me a lot. Workers’ dehumanizing treatment is same as or even worse than a livestock. Like Chaplin asking the warder whether he could stay in jail for a longer time, workers’ outside “free” life is much worse than being put in jail. Only in that kind of crazy era, people would even wish them to stay in jail rather than confronting the real and outward life. Overall, Modern Times is a silent and pantomime skilled film with limited but crucial use of language and voice to let the audience pay more attention on characters’ appearance, gestures, and emotional power.
