It's an excellent silent film. I can't imagine how those action scenes and all kinds of train fights were shot. To be honest, it may not be possible to shoot with CG and various special effects. The rhythm is also perfect. The whole film is witty on par with Chaplin. far beyond the contemporaries. Two of my favorite shots, one is the train falling into the river, and the other is the male protagonist hiding under the table and seeing the girl through the smoldering hole in the tablecloth, that shot is so beautiful, the moment I saw it, I was the first The reaction is the flower in the mirror in the water.

20170623@影城1厅#SIFF20 4K rewatch. // 20140324: Can you believe this was made in 1926? Mr. Buster Keaton, the editor and director + zero stand-in, you are a god! Six-sevenths of a train chase scene, that dispatch! My favorite part of comedy is no words or vulgar physical show off, but I almost burst into tears... And this is an action love war movie, how about it xDDD
