Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times.

Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times demonstrates a sense of humor in a difficult time, which is why in my opinion it was successful. It was something different to the people of that time. Everyone was used to films with sound from 1927 and when "Modern Times" came out in 1936 as a silent film it was a twist to things. This added somewhat imagination and allowed the audience to take more part of the film. Charlie Chaplin knew the hardships of people going thorough The Great Depression, this escalated the meaning of this film. The film portrayed the struggles that people might have gone through, but demonstrated that there was still hope through it all to smile. This was a ending that was unexpected because everything was looking down for the little Tram, the predictable ending was for him to continue to be unhappy. Which is not the case, the film ends with the little Tram with a smile on his face.
