The more trouble you get a man into, the more comedy you get out of him - Buster Keaton. Great video, Ms, I also enjoyed his Columbia and educational shorts

Really enjoyed your video. You are so correct in so much of what you say. Such as the metaphor of the couple trying to find each other on the boat. And Buster's character's inner qualities being what is ultimately appealing to his love interests vs bigger/taller/richer men. And the Singin' in the Rain comparison to Cameraman, which I never would have thought of. Perfect. I just stumbled upon Buster out of the blue about a month ago by accident, and have been watching his 1920's two reelers and films bit by bit. I can't believe I might never have discovered such an incredible artist, acrobat/athlete/gymnast, brilliant humorist, mime artist, actor/writer/editor/director There was so much talent and intelligent artistry in this guy, it just absolutely boggles the mind. And as you said, he was so far ahead of his time in so many ways. And handsome to boot! I'm still going slowly through his films, but have stopped to watch The General (with piano accompaniment) about 5-6 times so far. Just love love love The General. Speaking of being far ahead of his time, the scene where he is with the Confederate solders with the cannons who keep being shot one by one as Buster's character tries to warn them about the Union solder with the rifle We laugh nowadays at the black humor, and Buster's increasingly wary and exasperated facial expression as his attempts to warn the men go unheeded. To think at the time critics and apparently audiences felt that this scene was in incredibly poor taste since it features solders being shot and presumably dying. Perfect example of his brilliant humor at times being very modern - too modern for the 1920s. At any rate, thanks again for this video. I really enjoyed it.

So glad to hear so much admiration for Buster Keaton. I totally share the sentiment and I also stumbled upon his work even though I had a DVD of Three Ages that I had been gifted but never got around to watching it. One day I started and never stopped. His shorts and his films really left me speechless. How come I hadn’t discovered his work before? I think The General is a masterpiece and what you say is an interesting point. Thank for watching and for letting me know!

Perfect timing for your video. I just rewatched The Navigator today and Sherlock Jr. last week. The thing about the women in Buster's films is how independent and strong they are. Yes Buster saves them a lot but they save him just as much. His characters really do love just one woman and he never gives up trying to win her. In Seven Chances he could marry any woman to get his huge inheritance but he fights and scrapes to get to his one true love. Great video about Buster. All his great feature films turn 100 this decade yet hold up remarkably well. I'm glad you love Buster too.

I think you make a really good point. I do also get that impression on the women that appear in his films. Indeed, so true about his persistence, respect and loyalty. I love that about Seven Chances and how similarly to what you say, his films are still relevant despite being made so long ago. Thank you for watching and for your kind comment.
