Buster Keaton was one of a kind . The mold was broke when Keaton was born. Perfection at it's finest !!!! Those facial expressions tell it all, no need for words. Such a good looking man and a very expressive man. !!!!!!
Buster Keaton didn't do facial expressions. He kept the same stone faced look throughout his entire career and there's scant few examples of him either on or off the screen looking any different. I should know, I was Buster's Pork Pie hat.
@@satori4183 No, he really did not. Even in his Fatty Arbuckle days he maintained the classic Keaton stone face. It was part of his trademark, so much so that there were (false) rumors that he was contractually obliged to not smile. I'm sure you can drag up a split second here and there in a couple of films where his expression looked slightly different but by and large his facial expressions were consistently deadpan throughout his career. As I said, I was his hat.
@@goatwarrior3570 Well, hat, suggested viewing for you is Oh Doctor!, His Wedding Night, The Cook, The bell boy. He basically cries his way through the first one and is definitely not consistently deadpan in the others, but smiles, laughs, is angry, etc. Admittedly much of this was before he got you, so I can see how it was overlooked 🎩
@@satori4183 Yeh, if you combine all of those you get maybe 60 seconds worth of Keaton showing emotion. I think there's more facial expression from Arbuckle in the first 5 minutes of Wedding night than in Keaton's entire career. On a related note, I wonder if Roscoe or Buster would ever have guessed that more than a century later people would be arguing over their facial expressions.
This is the childhood of cinematography, and the most important events take place in childhood. Everything in this movie is so pure and brilliant. We wandered away from this purity, unfortunately. But it's great that we still can have this example before our eyes. Separate gratitude for the music, it is a work of a real master. Hats off.
29:55 to 30:20 I am blown away by that trick ! The identical furniture on each side and the two curtains moving the same way... It is so perfect, you don't even wonder why the 'mirror' is so big in that house ...
Ни говоря о сейчас как все эти трюки кажутся удивительными, потрясающе сыгранными, мастерски исполненными, да еще и на фоне интересного, хоть и простого незамысловатого сюжета, но сколько их вложено на минуту времени! Так тогда, наверно, вообще это смотрелось как чудеса, волшебство! Китон 1 из выдающихся первопроходцев того времени в этом направлении приключенческо-трюковом кино! Браво!
Agree with others- great piano and movie of course! Great and sad at the same time that people are just discovering for themselves this mountain of a comedian, Buster Keaton. He was really the best ahead of time
Au contraire: Keaton wasn't ahead of his time. He was 100% of his time, which is one reason he still fascinates. Unfortunately, Hollywood hacks have clung to his narrative tricks for the past 90 years.
My favorite part is where Buster's "spirit" leaves his body and somehow ends up in the movie! I heard that Sherlock Jr was the inspiration of The Purple Rose of Cairo starring Jeff Daniels.
undervalued? you're wrong ! Buster Keaton at the time was a movie superstar. Buster Keaton was actually only forgotten over the years, but he was not an undervalued actor.
Well, at least the girl was smart enough to check with the pawnbroker about the ticket. And the whole movie within a movie section is a creative idea, especially with Keaton's character entering the movie. Very fantastic and dream-like. With a healthy dose of wish-fulfillment, as Keaton's character wants to be a great detective like Sherlock Holmes. And I rather like the music as being more soundtrack-ish, applying specific musical ideas to the film, instead of merely doing some ragtime song over and over again to evoke the silent film era. I also seem to hear the faintist echo of a laugh track at certain points in the film. Plenty of Keaton's trademark stunts and gags, like running across the top of the train, or using the traffic turnstile to get down from the roof of a building. 40:27 Oh look, an amphibious car long before James Bond ever had one! 41:20 Or, maybe not so amphibious.
Around 34:20 and then about a minute later, Buster uses some stage illusions. The camera doesn’t cut away because Buster wanted to rely on “real” stage illusions rather than trick camera edits. Source of my information: Jim Kline’s book The Complete Films of Buster Keaton. These two illusions would likely have lost most of their impact if there had been camera edits breaking up the action.
First time I ever saw this buster Keaton was an absolute genius unbelievable this is the greatest it's definitely one of the best movies ever made it's fantastic all his own stunts you never believed that you know in that water where you got out of that water he actually broke his neck there and completed the film he was absolutely great no question about it anybody who hasn't seen this definitely should
I was interrupted halfway thru and had to find your channel again. Turns out, many channels have "Sherlock Jr"... but only your music is so distinctive and fits the story so beautifully.
I disagree. Why should the musical score sounds mysterious and dissident? It does provide a mood, but I don't think it was a one Keaton was thinking of!
Absolute brilliance and not a computer anywhere. When Keaton fell off that water tower in the flood of water he landed on a rail and broke his neck but didn`t know that at the time.
1. Thanks for posting this awesome video 2. Thanks for adding in the sound affects of the laughing of audience 3. Don't know who it was but I want to thank the person that played the piano (Awesome job) 😇👍🏼
some fine piano work by Ashley to accompany a great film-no doubt Buster would've had something similar back in the day. Also, a very funny movie-"describe it." at 4:32 had me rolling.
30:22 That was so optimistically poetic. If only I could share that view. 39:58 Wow, I recognize this in point&click adventure game writing. When you are near the finale and you got that item in your inventory that has been with you since the beginning and you nearly forgot about it.
Buster Keaton kino sa'natining haqiqiy dahosi !!! Tengsiz ijodkor va haqiqiy aktyordir.Hech kim hech qachon Uningchalik kino suratga ola olmaydi endi !!
Buster a amazing actour, He is especially like Jackie Chan, and his movements are particularly dangerous and very funny, so his personal actor ability is beyond my imagination.I love you Buster !
few comments on the ending, which is true the editing and kearon's stunts are surreal for the time, but we want to talk about the originality of the ending
You played the piano yourself? At the beginning it was noticeably not the original, but by the end it had completely seamlessly become a perfect match. A Excellent movie as well. It just ramped up and became more and more perfect by the end
Do all silent films scare you, I address to The Pianist who is providing the score? Comedy is not mysterious and otherworldly like the emotional effect I get from listening to this score. From the score alone one might think that poor Buster it's playing Aleister Crowley! I saw this filming at theater in Los Angeles some years back with Robert Israel providing alive musical score. That was really impressive
Thanks for this comment! Not all silent films. This one was essentially an improv so it did take me on a mysterious turn and I'm sure the Scriabin sonatas and Frederic Rzewski I played in the first half influenced this direction. The film does, to me at least, have some mysterious qualities, the dream like states and effects and the detective vibe.. but of course, it's pure Keaton at heart with high energy stunts. Genius! I bet the R. Israel performance was splendid! I love his work
Поллианна . У стойки, в сухом задымленьи ночи, на выданном круге, под лампами, дымом живой силуэт каблуками стучит, улыбкой играет, как женские мимы. В рассыпчатой иве белёсых волос, в застывшей, пуховой, пружинистой лаве, в букете из ниточек тонких полос блуждают лучи и объём поправляют. А бриз и круженья порхающих вьюг взбивают те локоны, трогая плечи, а музыка радует губы и слух, а зал осветляют настенные свечи. Спектакль красив и занятно хорош, подвластен мне зрителю, как режиссёру. Червонные стены, узорные сплошь. В восторге вкушаю развратную пору. Обычно багровым рисуют нам ад. Но тут это рай лишь для избранных, щедрых. Вдруг тихнет мотив, пригашается лад, и ангел дистанцию рушит по метру...
The steam train scene when the water pipe shoots water all over him is where he breaks his neck. 15.20 He just carried on and didn't realize until later in his life.
Ok come on you landscape movie identifiers. Where was the filming taking place in the motorcycle chasing scenes. 30:43 35:50 36:57. For example or any scene you recognize
Nearly a hundred years later and as great as ever. Buster Keaton was a genius with so many talents.

Film with Buster Keaton plus your music = perfection! Thank you so very, very much!

Great performances by you and Buster!! I'm just discovering his work now... what a pioneer!

one of, if not the best ending in cinematic history
I like the music! However there was an opportunity missed at 19:08 to go 'KA-BLAM' all over the keyboard as Keaton falls on the piano 😀
Satori I missed so many!

Sorry pal, but there are no contemporaneous silent film scores that are at all similar to this one
The greatest film. And beautiful accompaniment, man!
Thanks so much!
So refreshing to see and HEAR a Keaton video without some modern jazz or weird musical interpretation on it... This was top class... :)

Cheers for your message. Yep that’s me playing, the score was improvised
I loved the background music.
A masterpiece
I believe the girl's father is played by Joe Keaton, who was actually Buster's dad
