[BBC selected the top ten comedies in film history] No.10 Movies nearly a hundred years ago. This is my first time watching a silent film from start to finish. The advantage of watching a silent film is that you don’t have to stare at the subtitles to read the lines, and you can focus on the...

A classic silent film by comedian Buster. The movie "The General" tells the story of a southern train driver who went deep into the enemy camp alone in order to rescue his lover and became an excellent soldier. From the perspective of story development, Buster's stories are relatively simple, and...

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.

If there is a detailed analysis and discussion of comedy, this attempt must be somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere created by the film. But classic movies are always not afraid of interpretation, and the more they are interpreted, the more attractive they are.

Movies and novels are not the same...

This lack is dazzling because the train scene has...

The chase scene wasn't a first for Buster Keaton, but he brought it to its peak during the silent era. I'm talking about The General (1926), which he wrote, directed, acted, and edited .

Although it is a long time ago, it is still a silent film, but today, "The General" is not unconventional. In a...

Buster Keaton brought us a film that was far ahead of its time, one that still has a clear theme, well-structured proportions, great acting, fine detail, and a soundtrack that fits today. In terms of the theme, the small person is not satisfied, and then succeeds after struggling with himself by...

The film of 2027~ I'm so surprised, how did the train turn down the mountain? It only took 6 weeks to improvise, and the cost and investment are quite low, not to mention those complicated and time-consuming juggling acts, the whole is so hearty! Although it is Jackie Chan's grandfather, most...
