Modern Times(1936)
The Tramp struggles to live in modern industrial society with the help of a young homeless woman. For more about Modern Times and the Modern Times Blu-ray release, see the Modern Times Blu-ray Review Starring: Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Tiny Sandford, Chester Conklin, Hank Mann Director: Charles Chaplin » See full cast & crew Modern Times Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 1.34:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Park Circus. This is a strong high-definition transfer. Fine object detail is very good, clarity pleasing throughout the entire film, and contrast levels consistent. The color-scheme is also solid - the blacks are rich and well saturated, while the variety of grays and whites look gentle and natural. Occasionally mild edge-enhancement and compression artifacts pop up here and there; there are traces of mild noise reduction as well. The fine film grain, however, has been retained. Lastly, there are no serious stability issues to report in this review. I also did not see any big scratches, cuts, warps, splices, or damage marks. To sum it all up, this Blu-ray release of Modern Times represents a solid upgrade over the R2 Warner SDVD release of the film. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). Modern Times Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English LPCM 2.0 and English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. For the record, Park Circus have not provided optional English subtitles for the main feature (there are only a couple of lines in the entire film). The English LPCM 2.0 track is very good. Though its dynamic amplitude is rather limited, the music is vibrant and surprisingly nuanced. The few lines some of the characters utter also sound clean and stable. Lastly, while viewing Modern Times I did not detect any disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review. There were no problematic audio dropouts either. For obvious reasons, the English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 excels only where Chaplin's music score is prominent. The strings, in particular, sound slightly richer and better rounded than they do on the English LPCM 2.0 track.
