It's like riding a roller coaster. Knowing that as a comedy, the protagonist can always save money in the end, but in the process of watching the movie, he sweats for the protagonist countless times.

Actors are dedicated to their work, including actresses. In the past, in action movies, actresses may be more of a spoiler and vase. The heroine of "General", although the level of hard work and danger is nothing compared to Keaton, but It is true that eating soil is not a hero's treatment of saving the "beauty" in the United States. And it's not a foil for heroes, you can see that she is also a personality, thoughtful, and a little silly (no), cute.

I heard that the director went bankrupt after filming the film because of a poor box office. Regrettably, I also felt that it would be enough to have one film in his life.

    Compared with Chaplin, Keaton's affectionate and cute can completely hit my point. //https://cinephilia.net/48599/ "Laughing becomes a contemptible act unless we find the world worthy of pity or so lovely soon after laughing."

    Buster Keaton's masterpiece, a classic comedy that brings together action, adventure, love, and war. "Sneak-faced joker" wrote, directed, and acted, and it took only 8 weeks to complete improvisational shooting, and all the difficult stunts were performed in person. The play is a neat classical narrative mode. The symmetrical train chase scene in front and back is very addictive. The movements and shots are exquisitely choreographed, and the jokes are witty and natural. The most beloved "swing on the train" and the kissing salute scene at the end. (9.0/10)
