A classic silent film by comedian Buster. The movie "The General" tells the story of a southern train driver who went deep into the enemy camp alone in order to rescue his lover and became an excellent soldier. From the perspective of story development, Buster's stories are relatively simple, and the elements are basically the same as in "Sherlock Holmes II". The male protagonist who is misunderstood in love is also a small person who wants to achieve his goals on his own. He is obstructed and even clumsy in the development of the story, but he always overcomes difficulties in one lucky coincidence and finally wins a happy ending. . Simple aside, there are lessons to be learned from Buster's comedy stories, and his characterization of the characters of the times is a timeless skill. But it's not really high-end in the moment with coincidences and body language embarrassing jokes.
