    Great, awesome. Action comedy war love, with a bunch of old stalks that have been fired again and again by later generations. Silent film can be so smooth, natural and fun. It's really...

    This was a hugely-produced super-luxury action comedy of that era, but it also had such a fair and rigorous symmetrical narrative structure. Keaton knew that visual spectacles were only auxiliary and could only be effective if they had a solid script and...

    Look hi! The degree of completion is so high that it is impossible to believe that this is a silent film of the 1920s. The movement of the human body and machinery, the smoothness of the camera editing, the smooth and smooth storytelling, the control of the war scenes, the pyrotechnic effects, the precise and vivid performances of the actors, and the comedic elements Easy to use...Even if the development and technology of the times have advanced to the 21st century, "The Adventures of Tintin"...

    Very happy plot and performance. Buster Keaton is a great and powerful comedian. He saw that some actors such as Jackie Chan were his "students". Some character actions and some difficult shots were made in 1926. It is indeed commendable to be presented before the eyes of the...

    Chaplin is nothing more than a low-level caring and satirical tone of the powerful, and the comedy effect is absolutely blown by Butskiton. How was the scene where the train steadily landing on the broken bridge was filmed?...

    Although not as stunning as [Little Sherlock Holmes], the film has the most expensive scene in silent film history, and the train chasing is very spectacular. The film history status of this film is to greatly enhance the status of action comedy. The narrative is a bit more for Keaton's film, but it is also an expansion of the type of action comedy. Another thing worth paying attention to is the southern position ([riding with the devil] or...

    I'll take it, 1927. It's amazing. It's really enjoyable to chase and escape. It's still the same way after a hundred years of the movie! Buster Keaton's eyeliner. ....

    The losses and gains of the General, the front and rear confrontation neatly, the form of the chase piece carries the picture of the civil war; the type melting pot, the deconstruction of heroism. The scene of the firefight was generous enough. It is said that one shot of the train crashing the bridge cost forty thousand two. So I suffered a miserable loss and the reputation was a mess. The first Oscar was also a rat. Humor is a serious matter, "As long as I laugh, the audience will not...

    20170623@影城1厅#SIFF20 4K rewatch. // 20140324: Can you believe this was made in 1926? Mr. Buster Keaton, the editor and director + zero stand-in, you are a god! Six-sevenths of a train chase scene, that dispatch! My favorite part of comedy is no words or vulgar physical show off, but I almost burst into tears... And this is an action love war movie, how about it xDDD

    General

    Today: "The General"

    The simple plot allows people to guess the plot of the next scene, the slightly shriveled character image, which sounds ugly, but if you go back to 1927, all this is simply a shining point beyond a hundred years.

    Calling the General-A Feature Film by Buster Keaton in the Golden Age

    First published on the public account "No. 3 Wenhuiyuan Road"

    Speaking of Keaton, it’s not difficult for fans who have watched his films to find that since he really started to set up his own film studio, his short films can be made into a big collection, but there are not too many feature...
