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...
