In both films the workers were always in a rush to get anything and always on their toes. Workers always knew they had to work as well because they were always being watched. One could also tell in both films that the work condition weren’t that great by telling how hot the factories were. However, the factory owners could careless about their workers they just cared for the work to be done.

Meanwhile the factory owner had his feet on his desk and reading the newspaper as if he nothing better to do.

The upper class didn’t know what it was like to work or to be treated like work slaves.
