Abstract
First, I will talk about the historical context of the film. chaplin goes around the world during sixteen months. When he comes back to Hollywood, in 1932, he observes the economic and social results of the Great Depression, which made, in two years, seven million unemployed in the US.
Indeed, in 1929, the United States is floundered in a serious economic depression, which expands to the rest of the world. Many banks and factories go bankrupt and therefore cause the rise of the unemployment. The American economy picks up again progressively from 1933 with an economical and social program (the New Deal), put in place by Roosevelt (the president).
charlie chaplin has been sensitive to this crisis (he comes from a poor family). However, the description of the unemployment and the poverty is not synchronized with the date of the production (1934-1935). The movie comes out in the world, in 1936. And so, at this time, the United States is no more really in depression.
