In this movie we could see one of the biggest issues of the history. These issues were inside the work’s environment. Obviously this affected directly the quality of life of the people at that time. The main character in this movie was “Charles Chaplin.” He represented in a very good way the main conflicts related with the absence of worker’s rights.
It was incredible the analogy between sheep and people at the beginning of the movie. This analogy means that there weren’t differences among animals and workers. Everything must be production in order to be more useful inside a job. It didn’t matter the health and mental conditions of the worker class. Also, the movie showed that workers didn’t have private moments to relax themselves. This was reflected in a funny way, when Chaplin wanted to smoke a cigarette, in the bathroom, he couldn’t because his boss was in everywhere spying him.
Workers were forced to work like machines. This was because bosses wanted more efficient workers and waste less time of productivity inside their companies. This was very stressful. Moreover, Chaplin wanted to be in prison because in there he was more secure and relax. He prefered to be in jail than lost his freedom working.
On the other hand, he met a girl who was affected by the same stressful reality but indirectly. Her father was unemployed. So they share the same feeling of being insecure in life. In one scene they saw a happy couple. This couple lived in a beautiful house. Chaplin and his friend imagine that they were that couple, living in a beautiful house, without problems. So, this means that they really wanted to overcome that sad present. Anyway, they could find a job and they had a house but the crude reality forced to them to lose everything again. Thanks to the police. They were looking for the girl because she escaped from them.
On the whole, this movie show us how crude was the worker’s life without rights can be. Thanks good nowadays it is different, isn’t?

sorry to say we're still living the same, but in a different context.
it is true that we work less hours per day than before, but we have so many things to do that we collapse or we don't have enough free time to share with ourselves and with other.
good analogy.
see you then :D
