This book looks at Charlie Chaplin's masterpiece, Modern Times
(1936), through the lens of film aesthetics, structure, and
post-modern perspective. The naive Tramp character of Modern Times
is often seen as the embodiment of a revolutionary reaction to his
age. However, this study of the film shows that it is not only
difficult but also impossible to accept the long-established
critical reception of Chaplin's film and its characters in our own
"Post-modern Times." Drawing from extensive research and bringing
post-modern context to the film through a comparative analysis of
Todd Phillips's Joker (2019), the book introduces how exhilarating
a comprehensive study of film can be for engaged viewers.
Illustrating that a detailed filmic reading of Modern Times can be
a guide, or an extended case study, for analysing culture, this
book will be of interest to students and teachers in film studies,
literary studies, and the visual arts.
