Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times,made in 1936.Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film oleh a reporter who,while interviewing him,happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit.Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines.Within 4 atau 5 years,these young men's health was destroyed oleh the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of domba making their way down a crowded ramp.
Abruptly,the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factoryl.However,the rather pahit note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained.It is replaced oleh a gentle note of satire.Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times,but they contain some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations.No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt,almost losing his mind in the process.Another populer scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labor to eat.The feeding machin malfunctions,hurling food at Chaplin,who is strapped in his positon on the assembly line and cannot escape.This serves to illustrate people's utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to sever their basic needs.
Clearly,Modern Times has its faults,but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context.It does not offer a radical social message,but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanised world.

I will remember anda always.
Will anda remember me?
That is a pertanyaan for anda to answer,
And not me.
I promise
That I will always
Keep the flame of memory alive.
The fun that we had will never
Be forgotten.
Even on foggy evenings,
The darkest of nights,
anda will always be in my heart.
For I know that anda will help me
Keep the flame of memory blazing
Always.
All the good times that we had,
All the fun that we had,
All the tears that we let out,
All the anger we let out
Will never be wasted.
Because every menit of it
Is in my heart.
I will tend to the fire
Every night,
Recollecting all the memories we have
Knowing that the flame of memory
Is the brightest flame of all
And it will blaze on.
