Lonely for the rest of my life

In 1928, Buster Keaton joined MGM, and his career went downhill from then on. Later, he drank heavily, divorced and married, and was confined to second-rate acting all his life.

Fortunately, he made this "The Photographer" that year, and fortunately it was his first film in MGM.

Swimming pool farce, Chinatown Rush, playing with monkeys, difficult moves with great effort, and finally the beauty returns.

Still Keaton, but not so Keaton.

Some of the short reviews say that MGM's bad effects have been revealed, this film is so unkeaton, I would rather believe it is Keaton's most important work, perhaps not so great.

It would be a very good tragedy if you removed the scene of holding the beautiful woman, but Keaton just didn't want to make a tragedy.

Luckily he didn't make a tragedy, and I really wish he stayed a little longer in the golden paper that was flying all over the sky at the end.

Really, after all, the rest of my life is lonely.

    A few years ago, I watched it on cnf after 8 pm. Several elderly people in the whole hall fell asleep, and the snoring was unforgettable~~ Especially when there were some scenes without music, it was simply~~

    Wouldn't it be better if there was no happy ending, and only the sad Keaton was recorded by the camera?
