Keaton seriously is one of the greatest of all time.
OH YES!!
Thank you. I've just recently discovered Buster Keaton and you're right: 2 kinds of people, those who love Buster and those who haven't discovered him yet.
Here you cited two important and precious people to me: François Truffaut and Buster Keaton. Thank you for this shared moment and i am glad to add you in my fav
💛💛💛
The last scene Buster's brief kiss his sweetheart was of the entirety of the subject film story telling made whole.
More silent video essays please! love it
Thanks for the support, and I'm planning an "underrated silent films" video in the future if that piques your interest.
Sherlock Jr was and still is an amazing film.
Wonderful review of a great film and a world class artist. I hope you are able to build your subscriber list because you obviously have a lot for us to learn from.
Luv, luv, luv Buster Keaton. I've seen almost everything he made. Such an important guy. Just as important as Charlie Chaplin. I wonder why he's not as popularly known as Chaplin? I loved him in "Sunset Boulevard" as an older man. His facial expressions were just as funny as they always were. I love your analysis and narrative. Great job! I'm going to go and rewatch Sherlock Jr. now and will probably go down the Buster Keaton rabbit hole again.
Now I have to watch this movie. They should have this movie in select theaters for the 100th anniversary.
Haha yeah that would be awesome to see it on the big screen. I think some metropolitan areas will be playing it like Vancouver for instance, so depending on where you live it might not be out of the question 🙂
Great presentation. Thank you!
He was .i have great respect for lloyd and chaplin,but his physical style sets him above the rest.
Great video, I watched Sherlock Jr a long time ago and liked it, but didn't really see why it's considered in the same league as a lot of the other films in the Sight and Sound top 100. I'm gonna rewatch it soon now, and probably The General too.
Glad you liked it 😁Hopefully your second watch of Sherlock Jr. is even better than the first!
Superb video essay!
how sad he is still so unappreciated
Great video! Subscribed!
amazing video and great analysis !
"We could die!" Imagine people not being concerned with a silly little thing such as death before labor laws. That's cray cray.
That wasn't a direct quote or anything, but yeah, Keaton was kind of crazy lol
I totally agree with you.
GOAT.
Penultimate, one below the ultimate. Have you seen him on Candid Camera? Great.
Who's the ultimate? Chaplin? I might be inclined to agree.
Haven't seen Candid Camera, but his cameo in Sunset Boulevard was epic! 😆
first, huge fan of the channel
💕
BANGER ALERT
🤪
"side-splitting"? Where???
It's all in the eye of the beholder 😅
My reaction to a new video
...does anyone seriously doubt that if it hadn't been made clearly illegal employers would have risking your life be a job requirement? I'm frankly glad the OSHA of the day was proactive.
Some still do that despite the laws 😆
Ya had to go and get Political didn't ya? And you were doing so good.
