Introduction

When enjoying a feature film, no one ever notices the subliminal messages being transfered to our minds. We are engaged in the comedy while watching Modern Times and the special effects in Metropolis. Chaplin's physical comedy leaves you laughing for hours, with all his trips and accidents. The special effects that Lang uses goes beyond your imagination and you are left in awe. Modern Times and Metropolis both use the elements of their genre to send a hidden message about society in their own country.
