Charlie Chaplin, "Eating Machine", Modern Times, 1936.
In this scene Charlie Chaplin plays a factory line worker. The character was inspired by the story of a reporter friend who told him about the production line system in Detroit turning its workers into nervous wrecks. He is singled out by the factory boss to guinea-pig a new eating machine that feeds workers while they keep working. The machine forcibly straps the worker in a secured position for a fully mechanized lunch while increasing the productivity of industrial labour. The factory worker becomes literally physically part of the machine when, in a form of ‘technological cannibalism’, the malfunctioning machine attempts to force-feed him its own mechanical parts.
