A comedy master of the same era as Chaplin.
The most famous of his comedies are "Seven Chances" and "Safe at Last". The names must be unfamiliar, but as long as the scenes in these two movies are mentioned, everyone must be very clear.
"Seven Chances" is the one that many brides chase after a...

In fact, Keaton's films have always brought me joy and creativity, as well as the positive energy that has always been there! It is always giving me a positive force, which is joyful and upward! Even the sunshine at the end of the only tragic short film "Daydream" before, I feel that there is...

The paper with angel feathers flying, echoing the beginning and the end; the first shooting, four sets of extremely interesting scraps; and kneeling on the beach in dismay, with the little monkey next to the whole incident... these shots are very good, little The monkey shot even has a resemblance to the inside and outside of Sherlock Holmes II...a wonderful capture of the essence of the film. The love affair on the bus wheel and the pool scene are all Keaton's fun. The fly in the ointment is the scene where the Chinese gang boss has to kill the photographer. In fact, it is normal to show gang fights and ferocity of everyone (it's also a good sense of humor to help people pick up knives in order to take a good picture), the key is to open the secret door. King, all the bad guys use their feet to bare their feet. Let's put aside prejudice and only talk about this treatment. This method of expression is too straightforward and boring, and it is too serious to be a comedy. Combined with the fact that the idea of ​​immigration as a "yellow peril" is inherently unfair in the historical context, it makes the picture even more stupid. Compared to the ending of "Unfortunate", Keaton also traveled across the world to marry a bunch of Chinese wives and children. That one is very cute and hilarious. I really hope this scene can be shot in a different way...

Keaton wrote an elegy for his silent film career! After a lively celebration, I am alone, I have been stumped by others in my photography career, and I can't get a lover. If it weren't for that clever little monkey, the photographer would have failed miserably, and both his career and love would have failed! Maybe this journey is too bitter, and there is a warm ending. We are both happy and sad. Happiness is that there is always a happy ending, and sadness is that the reality of Keaton is full of sadness! In the face of the strong image of the three Marx brothers, Charlie Chaplin, and the combination of fat and thin, Keaton single-handedly created a slightly clumsy image of a migrant worker who always does bad things with good intentions but can always save dangers. I think he is higher than his thoughts. Chaplin is more precious in art! The photographer and the little monkey also recorded the first Chinese mafia battle in Chinatown in film history.
