Gamin's Sister (uncredited)
«Новые времена» — это эмоциональный, выдержанный в комическом ключе, отклик на перекосы машинной эпохи. Маленький Бродяга не желает быть «винтиком» в огромной мега-машине промышленного производства и так похожею на него человеческого общества. Чарли сражается с тупыми богачами, всесильными полицейскими, бездушными начальниками конвейерного производства. Иногда он выигрывает в этих сражениях, но чаще проигрывает, в конце концов, бесстрашно идет навстречу рассвету. Хотя «Новые времена» считается последним немым фильмом Чарли Чаплина, в нем Маленький Бродяга в первый и в последний раз обрел голос. Правда, он не заговорил, а запел в финальных кадрах картины, символизируя прощание с прекрасным периодом немого кинематографа.
