I'm in love with Keaton! ! !

Can't stop laughing hahaha.

I feel that Keaton is different from Chaplin. Chaplin's mustache covered his face, so he couldn't see the facial expressions clearly. He mainly expressed the feeling of comedy through actions; Keaton could see the facial expressions clearly, most Time seems to have a straight face and can actually see some emotions, because the bottom of the facial expression is expressionless, so many subtle expressions are very obvious, and the comedy is particularly good. (I'm quite fascinated by this kind of person who seems to be expressionless, but actually looks closely at this kind of person with rich expressions)

And I think Keaton is also a master of magic. In that era of no special effects, how to play pool without hitting the 13th ball, Keaton gave us an excellent example. Only you can't think of it without him. It seems that he hit the ball next to him. He went around the side after hitting the ball, and then jumped from the top when he hit the ball. Keaton is really a snooker master (laughs cry). After chasing a dead end, he changed another magic trick, jumping from the man's body to the back of the wall, these designs make me think that adding magic to the movie, the effect will really be better (I thought it was a gimmick before).

I wanted to laugh watching his play because he had a feeling that you just can't beat me, this kind of complacent little emotion really makes people feel very good. For example, when he went to the hut where the enemy sold the stolen goods, it seemed that the person next to him took his watch. As a result, when he stretched out his hand, he took the enemy's watch away, and then came to exchange and took his own watch back? It feels like no matter how the enemy chases and blocks, he has a way.

There are also many clever designs. For example, when he was running on the street on a motorcycle, a bridge in front of him was interrupted. What should I do? I felt like he was about to fall off. As a result, two trucks came. When they passed the bridge , the shelf on the back made up the broken bridge. When the soul first entered the movie, the scene switched. Because it was a black and white movie, I couldn't see it clearly in the snow. I didn't know it was snow. Then, when "Jingel Bell" sounded, I would smile and understand it in seconds. Other ingenious designs have been said by others, and I will not say them.

In short, watching Keaton's movies is really a pleasant experience. How about watching this kind of movie more and more?
