    Buster Keaton is not inferior to Chaplin. The short and flexible image will make the diaosi 90 years later happy. The story can be regarded as the ancestor of Stephen Chow's "tragicomedy of small people". The girl's stupidity is also really moving. Keaton did not succumb to the popular taste and gave up the pursuit, which made the film more memorable...

    It's a movie that never fades, and that's not because it's black and white silent. For a 1926 film, the shooting techniques and the performance of the scenes are breathtaking. The absolutely realistic and appropriately exaggerated humor and the lack of danger in the script make people unable to control themselves, creating a mood intertwined with tension and comedy, presenting a kind of skillful and clumsy to the audience, and at the same time, it has a strong sense of civil war and heroism....

    Buster_Keaton The retrospective of Buster Keaton was held together with Chaplin. It was a moment when he was able to see the two masters at the same time. He was fortunate to have three thousand lives, and this is indeed the pinnacle of work. , and no insurance company dared to protect him, Jackie Chan copied 10% of him to have the name he is today. . ....

    Extremely amazing movie! It's better than many movies today...I can't think of how it was made without special effects back...

    If the few movies I watched before were Keaton's one-man show control ability, then "The General" is Keaton's big scene control ability. Fascinating plot without losing the usual comic effect, I like Keaton's plot depiction better than Chaplin's psychological depiction! Finally, I have to say: how did you shoot this special effect in those days! !...

    When it comes to action and entertainment, it is not as good as "Sherlock Holmes II", but after two years, the action scenes and stunts are obviously pioneered. This is probably a good example of early action comedy, Jackie Chan learned a lot of iconic action and creativity from such silent films, and there are many details worth...

    A Confederate train driver rescued his sweetheart and thwarted an attack by the Confederate army with his persistence (and great fun). Showing off the night with a blue print is very chic. The film is well-rounded and extremely entertaining. [BAMPFA] 2017.9.30.4pm live piano soundtrack, this time I watched a version of more than 80 minutes, without blue...

    The great silent comedy of the immortal movie history. The motion photography is smooth and natural, and the scene is grand and spectacular, which still brings visual impact and shock to the audience. The plot is relaxed and the comedy laughs are vivid and natural, without any pretentiousness, making people laugh. One of the originators of small-person comedy. Buster Keaton is amazing! //20170418 Beijing Film Festival Archives Big...

    Xu Xiju is not sad-General

    Maybe it was because of getting older, I actually felt a sigh in the heart of Master Xing, Master Xing and Chaplin gave birth to the golden age of comedy in their hearts. Today’s film’s director Buster Keaton even starred, Jackie Chan also used him as the pinnacle to imitate him.

    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.
