Master, I am late!

Forgive me because I know the master only because of Jackie Chan, and I only recently read the master's works seriously.

Then there is a small burnt hole on the clever tablecloth so that the male protagonist can see the female protagonist.

Pushing boxes all the way is fun.

He dreamed of becoming a soldier, but was refused to join. After chasing trains, saving people, and reporting news, he was finally accepted to become a soldier.

"Professional" fits perfectly.

The name of Buster Keaton has been heard before. When people talk about Stephen Chow or Jackie Chan, someone will mention it. Of course, when talking about Xingye, it will be Chaplin. But for me, this is the first time to see his movie in full, to get to know this person for the first time.

Keaton's parents make a living by performing in a troupe that sells fake medicines. This kind of grass troupe selling fake medicines was also very popular in my country a few years ago. , cheated a sum and ran to the next village. This kind of person is more shameless and hurtful.

Keaton's stage name Buster is said to be due to the fact that he once "falled down the stairs unscathed, [someone] yelled that the kid was really a 'Buster' (strong kid)", is this a cold joke? Suitable for "sneaky jokers". By the way, Hong Kong's Xu Guanwen has also been called a "cold-faced joker".

The big stars of the silent film era entered the sound film era and lost the advantage of performing with body movements.

    I finally watched this classic work by Buster Keaton. It combines various elements into one, and the filming is so interesting. Keaton's consistent style of personal combat is very powerful, and all kinds of train chase scenes are perfectly scheduled. , the rhythm is also perfectly arranged, as well as the final battle, there are several scenes that are very spectacular. Truly one of the best masterpieces of the silent film era. 9.5 points★★★★☆
