The masterpiece of 1928, the more I see the back, the more I feel

Because I felt that a short review was not enough to express what I wanted to say about this film, I decided to choose a film review. The film "The Photographer" in 1928 should be able to leave its peers several streets away! First of all, this is a very neat story structure with a beginning and an end, with emotional conflicts, character settings, and a basic plot reversal at the end. This is a movie from 1928! It completely laid a model for the stories of the kind and brave, the foolish and the foolish little people in the later world movies who finally embraced the beauty and returned. In addition to the structure of the story, which has been used for reference by future generations, many scenes have also been imitated by later generations. The most obvious is Jackie Chan's "Police Story" in 1985. The scene of chasing the bus, and the scene of the British "Mr. Bean - Going to Swim" , should all come from here, Jackie Chan's 1996 "Simple Mission" in the funeral shooting scene I don't know if it was also inspired by the plot in this film. There is a bit of a fly in the ointment, maybe Buster Keaton just started making these more than one hour movies, the beginning will be a little dull, there are only a few flashes, it is difficult to attract the audience, but the more you see it, the more Wonderful, yet does not hide the brilliance of the masterpiece.

Rarely, Keaton's character has a bigger goal: chasing girls. The filming was really sweet, especially when you put down the phone and ran to the girl. The development of the story still emphasizes contingency: after filming for a long time in Chinatown, there was a problem with the film, and the monkey accidentally knocked out and saved everything (and also won the praise of "best camerawork"). Keaton's eyes were so funny that he stared at Big Mom in the pool and wanted to laugh once at a time.

8.8/10. ①The story of the male protagonist, a working worker photographer, after a series of hard work and setbacks, he finally achieved a double harvest of career and love. ②The whole process is full of laughter (although this level of laughter is not strong enough to exceed 9.5), specific paragraphs such as: asking the police about the location of the fire scene, playing a baseball game with myself, knocking on the piggy bank, two people crowding the changing room, Nudity in the swimming pool + grabbing a woman's swimsuit, knee-jump reflex tests with the police on a rainy night, multiple mistakes in the camera smashing glass, and a war reporter recording a gang fight in Chinatown, etc. ③ Some parts are too tragic, which does not match the comic temperament of the film; the rhythm of the ending is rather rushed.
