abstract

The story of the film took place in the United States in the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression, and everyone in the society was struggling in their own lives. Charlie is an ordinary worker who lives at the bottom of society. Every day's life is to get a little poor salary to fill your stomach and work crazily day after day.

Although life is extremely dark, Charlie still works hard. However, in the face of the depression tide of the times, Charlie still can't guarantee his life, even the minimum requirements.

At this time, the factory management began to squeeze employees crazily, and the dark work was numb. Charlie naturally became one of them. He struggled on the production line all day. Because his task is to tighten the hexagon nut, the only thing he can see in the end is the hexagon nut that passed in an instant.

As a result, all the hexagonal things in Charlie's life suffered, because every time he saw hexagonal things, Charlie couldn't help twisting them. A woman with hexagonal buttons on her skirt in the street was killed by Charlie.

But the factory owner will not stop. He even thinks that workers eat too long, so he euphemistically calls it a brand-new eating machine to improve workers' work efficiency. This kind of eating machine can "feed" the finished person to eat in the shortest time, which naturally saves a lot of time for work.

Unfortunately, Charlie became a "trial product", but there was something wrong with the machine during the trial. Not only could he not stop, but he began to go crazy, and as a result, Charlie was going crazy. In the end, Charlie lost his job, and he reluctantly but helplessly became a member of the unemployed army.

Then he inadvertently became the leader of the demonstration movement, but he still couldn't change his fate. After thinking hard, Charlie found that the only place not to worry about hunger and livelihood is prison! So he began to plan how to go to prison again, but he tried everything, including taking the fall for others, but he couldn't put himself in prison.

However, no amount of hard life can change Charlie's kind nature. Although he can't guarantee food and clothing, he saved a homeless woman who stole bread in the street and won her love. The two of them spent the Modern Times together.
