Grandpa’s "General"

Because I played "Bimney's Spring", I knew that there was an old star named Buster Keaton, and knew that he had a representative title called "The General", so I looked for it. This is the brilliant Buster Keaton in the words of George Fox? The skinny person, the unhandsome appearance, and the strange feeling of silent film make me want to talk while watching a movie when I hate talking. The dialogue does not need to be subtitled at the bottom of the screen, but the whole screen. . .

I thought it was a movie about boats, but I didn't expect it to be a train. It was quite funny. It has been more than 80 years. I need to pay tribute first and then give me points.

    Although not as stunning as [Little Sherlock Holmes], the film has the most expensive scene in silent film history, and the train chasing is very spectacular. The film history status of this film is to greatly enhance the status of action comedy. The narrative is a bit more for Keaton's film, but it is also an expansion of the type of action comedy. Another thing worth paying attention to is the southern position ([riding with the devil] or something).
