Take-home assignment:

Cinema, being the youngest art form when compared with painting, music, drama,
theatre, and literature etc. yet the most powerful of them all. Emerged as a result of the
industrial revolution during the late 19th century, Cinema was a great excitement to
society. Nowadays Cinema is considered as a medium of entertainment in many
countries such as India, America, Middle East, and Africa. But even at the very
beginning of this art form, during the time of "Silent Cinema", it was not just an
entertainment.

"Charlie Chaplin was the first filmmaker to use the Cinema as a powerful tool
that could analyze society and its socio-political dynamics in terms of giving an
insight to the viewer. He discussed about Poverty, social inequality, the problem
of capitalism and industrialization, and superpower struggles such as the 2nd
world war, in his movies."

Do you agree with this? Or you don't?

Discuss with examples.
