《摩登時代》（Modern Times） 是一部1936年的電影，被認為是美國電影史上最偉大的電影之一，也是查理·卓別林最著名的作品之一。that has his famous Little Tramp character struggling to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and fiscal conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization.這部電影的演員包括有卓別林，寶蓮·高黛, Henry Bergman, Stanley Sandford and Chester Conklin. 本片由卓別林編劇與導演。
The movie follows the Tramp and a young woman - whom he rescues from the authorities who want to put her in an orphanage - as they try to overcome their impoverished street life. The Tramp attempts multiple jobs but quickly, and comically, loses them.
The factory where the Tramp works has a futuristic look and may have been influenced by Fritz Lang's Metropolis. The factory was equipped with two-way Big Brother-like screens; remarkably Chaplin’s movie was released 13 years before George Orwell’s famous novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. The film also bore some similarities to a 1931 René Clair film called À nous la liberté (Freedom for Us) -- such as the conveyor belt gags. This resulted in a controversy which lasted around a decade; Chaplin maintaining that he had never seen the film, as did everyone else at the studio. René Clair refused to take part in the case, always maintaining that they were all in debt to Chaplin. In the end the isuue ended with an out-of-court settlement. A speculation over this case was that it was a conspiracy from Nazi-Germany to discredit Chaplin; À Nous la Liberté's production company, Tobis, was German. It is notable that the settlement was reached only after the end of World War II.
Modern Times was one of the last silent films made, although it does include sound effects, music, singers, and voices coming from radios and loudspeakers. Towards the end of the film the Little Tramp's voice is heard for the first time as he ad-libs pseudo-French and Italian gibberish to the tune of Léo Daniderff's popular song, Je cherche après Titine.
Most of the film was shot at "silent speed", 18 frames per second, which when projected at "sound speed", 24 frames per second, makes the slapstick action appear even more frenetic. Chaplin created this effect deliberately.
In one memorable scene, Chaplin's character looks for a bolt to tighten while he is being pulled through the gears of an enormous machine. This scene is symbolic of Chaplin being the film going through the projector. Another has the Tramp picking up a warning flag that has fallen off the back of a truck, and waving it to attract the driver's attention. He fails to notice that a parade of labor protesters have come up behind him. When the police break up the protest they arrest the flag-waving Tramp assuming him to be the protest leader.
The music score was composed by Chaplin himself. The romance theme was later given words and became better known as the song "Smile" ("Smile though your heart is breaking...") and covered by such artists as Judy Garland, Liberace, Nat King Cole and Michael Jackson.
The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
