Modern Times
The new adaptation of Chaplin’s Modern Times stresses the absurd scale of technological progress. Due to the progress, humankind does not develop, it becomes atrophied. Hoverboards are a clear evidence of this phenomenon as they free us from the need to walk; and with the prosthetic chassis we are transforming into semi-machines. The identical interpretation key about serial and monotone character of our modern world can be seen in the aerial pictures of identical turnkey houses. The machine-structured reality enslaves us.
