Hello readers,
We all are used to watching movies and web series as part of our entertainment. But all movies are not made only for entertainment, they have a deep message in their work. But this is for those people who understand the importance of reality. They can convey the message using laughter. We think that it's only comedy for entertainment. But the artist makes satire on society by using laughter and satire. Charlie Chaplin is one of the great artist among them. When we watch his movie we laugh a lot. But there is a deep message in his works, which can present the reality of people, society. In this blog I'm going to study frames of charlie Chaplin's movie. This task is assigned by our professor Dr. Dilip Barad sir. So let's see some frames of the two movies, first is Modern Times, and second is The Great Dictator.
In this frame we can see the significance of the clock and it's hands. The second hand moves faster, which represents the working class of society. Minutes hand can be seen as middle class society. And hour hand moves slower, it represents the rich class who move slowly with leisure activities such as giving the order to workers and paying attention to fashionable things. Because of richness, they govern many areas of society and they can create new norms and regulations which restrict the other lower class of people.
In this frame we can see that sheeps are converted into humans. It means that human beings are going to work like sheeps are going to find their food. In fact people don't have their own way, they follow the way of others, follow the way which is followed by others.
The term of looking for workers is driven from a long time. In this frame we can see that the director was looking at the workers. After looking on he also used to have them command. If we think we can realize that in today's time when workers are doing their work, the owner and the manager also look at them. They keep on looking at workers and keep them alerting that if they don't do it well then they have been fired.
In this frame we see that Charlie is making fun at the factory. He is just trying to make it all free for a few time, but his hitch makes trouble for every worker. So the director and all workers decided to fire him. All people are used to their work like machines, they are disturbed when someone calls them or doing some other activities during their work time.
Charlie Chaplin going to return the flag but coincidencely he become a member of the group who doing rally for unity. Suddenly police come and drub them and arrest Charlie by saying "so you're the leader". Leaders are doing all for not only for themselves, but they have to tolerate more than others. Their efforts make good results for every member of their group. It seems like someone makes an effort and someone just takes benefits.
We all know that when we see the danger we feel more trouble and nervous about the situation. But if we don't know what's going on we just enjoy the moment as it is. In this image we can see that Charlie is doing sketching with the blindfold. When he became aware of the situation it became more terrifying.
The Great Dictator, American comedy film, released in 1940, that Charlie Chaplin both acted in and directed.
In this frame we see that the war is going on. Two different countries are using machinery for their wars. It was time when world war began. Charlie includes the situation of soldiers at that time.
In these two frames we can see that Chaplin portrayed a Jewish barber who is mistaken for a tyrannical dictator. He plays up the charade and ultimately gives a speech in which he calls for peace and compassion. Chaplin, in a dual role, also played the fascist dictator, modeled after Hitler.
In this frame we can see that the servant is blind to praise his master. We can call it Andhbhakti, and it's also required in politics. To make their master happy the under workers are always trying to use different ideas. It's a sign of dictatorship.
The system of doing salute to the high officer is shown in this frame. Who you are isn't important, you have to give respect to the officers. If they are making it difficult for you, you can't even tell them. In this frame we can see that the officer ruined the door of the barber's shop. Charlie stopped him. And he is behaving like the master of the people around him.
Thank you !
