Charlie Chaplin - The Mechanic's Assistant

One of the most iconic films of all time, Charlie Chaplin's The Mechanics Assistant is a classic comedic work about a poor working class man trying to survive in an industrial society. Set in 1917 during World War I, it follows Chaplin's character as he finds his way from one laborious job to the next in search of a better opportunity while dealing with degradation and disdain from his bosses. Though slapstick humor abounds throughout, Chaplin also delivers some pretty clever commentary on its themes of exploitation and class conflict in this wonderful tale full of heartwarming moments that still resonate today. It's a must-see for anyone wishing to view one of Chaplin’s best works and considered by many to be his crowning achievement.
