First sentence: In the course of Charlie Chaplin's film Modern Times (1936) our hero works on an awesome, dehumanising production line and is made the guinea-pig for a time-and-motion experiment involving feeding the workers on the job; he is eventually sent crazy by the repetitive nature of his work and committed to a mental hospital.
