Modern Times
The movie "Modern Times" was produced by Charlie Chaplin and was released in 1936. Chaplin shows some of his troubled childhood as he plays a factory worker called The Tramp. In this movie, The Tramp ever talks although they have the technology they have in the movie allows sound. Charlie Chaplin did not make the character talk because they character has never talked in a movie before so he was not going to make him talk now. Also, as i mentioned, the movie shows a lot of new technology, but only in the beginning. After, they never show the technology again the movie is shot in our everyday places. Charlie Chaplin basically predicted the future by showing all this new technology and was showing his viewers that even with technology in the future, we are all still miserable. Another thing is that Charlie Chaplin changed the ending of his movie. Originally his movie was supposed to end where him and his lady will never be happy because he is crazy and she is a nut. He ended the movie to a happy ending where him and his lady are leaving, both smiling.
