Film Lesson/ Modern Times

During Class we watched a movie from a collections dvd from the director/writer/and actor Charlie Chaplin. In the movie Charlie Chaplin played a factory worker who worked along with other factory workers in a huge factory, who all worked for this man who sat around and did nothing but boss people around. In the factory Charlie Chaplin gets out of control when he gets stressed about himself not being able to keep up with the machine when he had to tighten the bults. I do not think he liked the way thgat the factory workers were being treated because of the way he acted when he had gotten stressed. He had started to squirt oil on the workers as they worked causing them to mess up the flow of things. He also would turn off the machines while they were working to annoy them. In the movie an inventor came to the boos of the factory with an invention to help the workers eat and work at the same time.

This machine would feed them soup, meat, and would wipe there mouthes with this a sponge. They tryed to innvent this so that factory workers would not have to stop what they were doing and could make more products a day. But the machines malfunctioned and the boss refused to take the offer.

The lindustrial Revolution was very unfair to workers, children , and towns . There were many inventions that helped factories and dangered factories. But that all changed after 1833.
