Reflection of Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times"

How does Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" satirize life at the turn of century?

In the beginning of the movie "Modern Times" people are portrayed as sheep. It's just to show how we are treated like a herd of animals when it comes to the work world. Then it starts up and mocks the assembly line. Everything is put into high speed and making people work quicker. It is related to the idea of Taylorism because the whole idea is to get things done quicker and more efficiently. It also makes fun of the fact that in Taylorism everything is monitored closely by the boss and in the movie the boss has cameras everywhere including the bathroom. The cameras in the bathroom play with the fact that the assembly lines and work places were very dehumanizing at the turn of the century. There was a lack of privacy and no time for a short break. Charlie Chaplin's character worked tightening bolts in the assembly line. When he would walk away he would have the twiches and continued doing the tightening motions. The work was machine like in the fact that it was repeative and you did noting else. Workers also had very little rights and to push those rights was wrong even if you didn't realize you were pushing them like in the strike scene in the movie.

Overall the movie is highly dramaticized but true in my mind. I think workers were treated unfairly and somethings were just unrelevant to what needed to be done like the automatic feeding machines even though we all know those weren't real and the lack of break times.
