    The plot design is very creative. The film is based on dreams, which is not unfamiliar in Keaton's works, as is the case with the previous day dream of the love nest and later. But this dream is the best of all, with dangers suggesting the character's anxiety, and the detective revealing his inner longing. The crossing of the movie screen and reality, the synchronized pace when tracking, the invincible motorcycle driving skills, and the amphibious vehicles are all...

    The story is simple, short and superb! Entering the screen in a dream and acting in a play, the transition of each scene, the use of the switching of the lens to make jokes, all kinds of action scenes that are more difficult to shoot now, people are really amazed that this is all in 1924 In the silent film era, there were no movies made by computer technology. Buston Keaton was too powerful. He was a genius with extremely rich imagination as a director, screenwriter, and...

    I can't imagine how this work shocked the world at the beginning, because even today, nearly a hundred years later, it is still amazing. Visual effects, editing, awesome action design, unparalleled imagination... so many works that have been continuously referenced and paid tribute in the later period have become classics themselves. "The magician of comedy", the real...

    What can I say? The first use of play-in-play, billiards and unmanned motorcycles have become classics in film history, affecting later Woody Allen and even Jackie Chan. Buster Keaton's 1924 masterpiece, the entire film has no urine spots in 45...

    Oh my god, really don't think about Keaton and Chaplin anymore, all kinds of differences are true, but this great purity, love for movies, love for the world, love for people Care, care about the action, care about the environment, care about the feeling of not twisting and turning, it is absolutely gratifying that these most rare things are held together! Through the screen on the screen, the hearts of the audience are melted ❤️ Keaton is indeed a god in his movies, he also enjoys being a god...

    Keaton should be a great director alongside Chaplin in the silent film era! The whole film is humorous and compact, and there is almost no trace of editing, especially when the scenes are changed, the movements are very smooth, and the actors' superb performances, the timing is just right. Occasional frame skipping but no effect. It may be superimposed later on now. I admire such a real...

    Although this movie is a short film, it shocked me more than "The General". Keaton is so good, the movie within the movie is so classic, considering the age, but it is unprecedented. The plot in the film has been imitated too much by later films, among which the action comedy is the best inherited by Jackie Chan's films. All are...

    At the end of the film, the suspect is with the girl, and the detective is gone. So, who stole the pearl in the film? Who actually stole the pocket watch?...

    (9.0) Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra Accompaniment Edition. Many of the things Buster Keaton presented in 1924, such as the construction of comedy tension, the nesting of plays within plays, the wonderful use of editing skills, the creation of tense atmospheres, and the climax of racing scenes, are still more than a hundred years later. The vast majority of films are better, absolutely...

    Into the detective's dream

    After Conan Doyle launched the Sherlock Holmes series, children in Europe and America aspired to become detectives, just as Chinese children longed to become knights after being immersed in martial arts. The world-famous Buster Keaton holds a book "How to Be a Detective" all day long.

    After watching "Sherlock Holmes II"

    "People say I'm like Chaplin, and that's a complete misunderstanding," Keaton said. "Chaplin had a wanderlust philosophy, and I'm a laborer of integrity." Buster Keaton wrote, directed, and starred The movie Sherlock Holmes II was released in 1924. The rich imagination and smooth editing of this...
