My grandfather (born mid 1920’s) told me about going to the nickel and dime movie theaters as a child to see Buster Keaton shorts before they had installed sound. He said that the nickel theater would have a live piano, but the dime theaters had popcorn and an organ. I’d love to take in a movie like that in my lifetime.
@@MusicalZombie Intresting. As someone actually intrested in tech, this was a fun read. The first thing was your complete misunderstanding of the word “joke” Second of all, you forgot to mention many things in why cameras now are more complex, such as: compression, frame rate, bit rate, the actual codec and quality of comonents. And if you were actually really into it, you would know that they used silver hallide crystals. Plus, we didn’t start from scratch. We still had all our knowledge on lenses, projection, and foucousing. Tv existed ever since 1926, and we knew how to create a raster scan of an image, plus, we knew about photo-sencing materials that sent out electricity when reacted, either directly, or by restricting previous current flow. It isn’t TOO hard to make that a digital signal. I’ll even do it here: take the analogue frequency, find it’s intensity and map which of 256 shades (assuming you use 8 bit colour ) it is nearest to, and then to display it, take the info, and restrict current flow very precisely according to the ones and zeros (or essentially a dac).
i mean if you marry with unrealistic expectations without considering how will your life would be with your partner years after then yeah the echo is really sour
The special effects in this are honestly more impressive than some of the movies I've seen recently. Like when was the last time you saw a life size spinning house that wasn't CGI. This is great.

It's a miracle that "young" Buster Keaton got through all the crazy dangerous stunts he did without getting killed. Probably no one would be allowed to do that today. I know he survived because I've seen the "old" Buster Keaton interviewed on TV. 😮
His parents were vaudeville performers. As soon as he could walk his father incorporated him into the act. Today the father would be arrested for child abuse. Buster was tossed around the stage like a sack of potatoes. It's a wonder he survived to adulthood!
@@Nigelsmom2136 Exactly. In Buster's autobiography he said that he had so much fun being thrown around that he'd start laughing, but he said the audience didn't care for that, so he put on a hang dog face as he got thrown around and they loved it. Interesting too that when the family went to England, the crowds over there thought the throw-around act was too violent so they had to tame it down a bit. The "do-gooders" as Buster called them were always trying to get their act shut down. One time, in New York, Buster as a kid had to go to the Mayor's office and strip down to show that he wasn't being abused by his Dad and he could take the falls. There was no fall that Buster Keaton couldn't take and get back up. I've loved the guy since I was a kid.
I'd watched some silent movies before but this is my 1st Buster Keaton movie. I'd been recommended but I've finally watched it. Man oh man is he a genius.I love the creativity he & his team had to come up with & to make the movie enjoyable & some of the gags he managed to slipped in. Everything is simply wonderful!
Watching this on Busters 124th birthday today. I am a huge fan of Buster Keaton; Charlie Chaplin may have been big at this time but in my opinion Buster Keaton was the true King of silent comedy.
@@carltonthepug Nostalgia? you know what that means right, this movie is over 100 years old the only people getting nostalgic for this is maybe 90 year olds
No but Buster ended up with multiple fractures including a broken neck, damaged spine etc... resulting chronic pain and dependency on pain killers, depression and so on. Wasn’t exactly glorious
@@antil848 I studied old vaudeville and movie comedians I loved their style. As a result I learned why his style of comedy faded out. It wasn’t conducive to a long and healthy life. I admire him for it, but yeah. It had drawbacks
@Mxyzptiksac source: dude, trust me Shut the fuck up. He lived till 70 and he was making movies till he died. I don't know why you had to make that up about Buster Keaton. Sad
I've been in a depressed state for a while. So I decided to watch a good movie but there aren't any good new movies right now,so I came here. I like it!
It's very nice to know that silent comedy lovers are still there, I am guessing even you are a silent era lover and I would love your opinions on my videos too
Totally agree. I'm right now studyin a lot to make my finals and whenever I need a break or at night, I always watch a silent film comedy. So easy to see and so enjoyable :)
22:49 - killed me. It's also a feeling of even more powerful admiration when I think this was made with resources and technology from a century ago! We literally watch history in motion. It's funny then you feel a little nostalgic, almost wanting to live in that far, far world, where everything was possible and people were walking around with their houses on their back. :D
Coronavirus brought me here. 2020. At least I don’t have it! To those who are sick, get well. To most of us, watch videos like this and not CNN or Fox.
I am here because my mom was a "proclaimers" fan. Their song was in the movie "Benny and Joon" with Johnny Depp and Aden Quinn. In the movie Depp is a Buster Keaton fan.

Just can't believe, such a marvelous piece of silent movie 100 years ago, watching in 2024 and seems too ahead of time it's time, without a single word ❤
I can only imagine the joy and laughter of people in the past watching this. It makes me sad as someone born in the 21st century, a someone who's mind has been ruined by internet, humanity's worst and best invention, an algorithm that runs on reactions, a devil which treats dopamine as a currency to trade for engagement. We live in an era in which art is an entertainment and entertainment is an art. What happened to us?
Well I’m growing up on the internet and LOVE the integration and overall efficacy that the internet has caused. All those issues you just listed about the internet are because of CORPORATIONS as usual seeing what generates them more money at the expense of people’s lives. It’s horrible really.
Several years ago at the Somerville Theater (just outside of Boston) I saw Steamboat Bill, Jr. (one of Keaton's two best feature films, I think) done with a live 3-man group called The Alloy Orchestra, who write new, original scores for silent films. It was not only a great experience to see a film like that in a theater with live music, but it showed me a part of the experience I would not have imagined: hearing the audience. With more subtle "observed" humor (like something being missing that he expected to be there) the laughter was lower in volume AND in pitch -- it was adults "getting" the subtle jokes. When it was slapstick (big, physical comedy), the children would laugh as well, letting out high-pitched, loud laughter, a wonderful sound. Plus, because the music was just an "atmosphere-setter" (important as that is), people talking, commenting, explaining what just happened, even shouting at the screen (kids: "Look out!"), etc. was NOT a problem, as you missed nothing and it just added to the general enjoyment and hubbub in the theater. I wish more theaters would show family-friendly silent comedies (so, all of them!) with or without live music -- it is a great experience!
Many thanks to the authors of this channel for the opportunity to enjoy real, kind, pure art of cinematography! That's why I stopped watching modern movies, especially from Netflix, and started re-watching old classics from the 1920s to the 1990s. And there are a lot of people like me. Apparently this world has really gone crazy and at some point everything went to hell, including "modern art".
He's so confident in himself and what he does, he makes all of these stunts look effortless. This is why I love TH-cam. Newer fan of Busters, so thank you for posting this 😊 Awe! The first tiny house! Lol I would marry Buster in a heartbeat. No day would ever be boring or the same lol These are some big budget films he made. I'm glad because it let him show his creative talent
We always looked at the past as old and considered our own time as modern, but watching this movie makes me feel incredibly creative. It also makes me realize that time has no meaning. Should we be sad, cry, or laugh?🎉
What we tries to build and preserve, all has only one end which is very beautifully pictured in this film. I loves to see the struggle of the couple and little bit empathetic with them.
I love Charlie Chaplin. Makes me laugh all the time. But Buster Keaton? He can make me pass a kidney stone. Nobody has ever been this hilarious. Anyone notice how they gave you time to read the messages on screen?
His piano and Hadar Sedesh " My Refrigerator" One pure silent but expressive and the other loquacious and nonverbally spontaneously expressive.Both fascinating.
I’m having a hard time getting past the first MINUTE because tears are already streaming down my face from them not only THROWING shoes, their reactions-but then him picking a pair up to take! I don’t remember the last time I laughed that hard RECENTLY at a show.
Dude, Buster Keaton was a genius. He set you up for a really obvious joke and then takes that joke a different direction than what he made. It feel obvious that it was going to go. Pure comedic genius.
Could we talk about the stuntwork here? 15:54...the man takes something like a 9 foot leap down and keeps on going. Definitely hardier stock in those days.
@@Porkey_Minch Huh, yeah...the curve is pretty dubious now that I look at it. His leg flailing makes it hard to plot out a path but he does seem to slow down near the landing. The back of his shirt honestly resembles what a shirt does when someone falls, I'm guessing the split in the back of his vest was done strategically to make the wire less noticeable.
My grandfather (born mid 1920’s) told me about going to the nickel and dime movie theaters as a child to see Buster Keaton shorts before they had installed sound.

yeah. either old age or ill. buster keaton died of lung cancer
Mistake. He lives forever.
One of my favourite silent films by B Keaton!
You know this better then things on tv that I can find now

Sears had been selling build-it-yourself house kits for about ten years at that time.
Sorry for the interruption, I know this has nothing to do with the video but its for you, to whoever is reading this and its urgent.
One day millions of people will vanish, the rapture is near! Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior! And Live a Faithful Holy Life! He doesn’t want anyone to be left behind! time is short!
Call me a crazy person if you want too, but what I’m saying is the truth and you don’t know and realize, that you need Jesus! You don’t know Him, because you don’t go to Him! He is your only Hope.
Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, that He died for you and all of our sins, acknowledge that you are a sinner and that you need Him, repent and ask forgiveness, and believe and have faith that He is real
Now once you accept Him, you will receive the Holy Spirit, now while you are alive, read your bible, follow God, and live for Him.
Millions of subject is covered in this movie. No chance.the director could not even see my appreciation. He left a very big message
I have never seen this before today and I really enjoyed it!! This is something I will definitely end up watching over and over again.
Sybil Seely was so beautiful.
she kinda looks like lea thompson
@@ebyasyrul3232 Yeah, I can see that.
She looks like my aunt
She kinda reminds me of Dianne Franklin.
@@cdjeeyoreWow yes!
This is a masterpiece of cinematic history!
Just can't believe, such a marvelous piece of silent movie 100 years ago, watching in 2024 and seems too ahead of time it's time, without a single word ❤
6:54 Funny the line of houses look so modern and familiar.
Happily watch these on a regular basis
I can only imagine the joy and laughter of people in the past watching this. It makes me sad as someone born in the 21st century, a someone who's mind has been ruined by internet, humanity's worst and best invention, an algorithm that runs on reactions, a devil which treats dopamine as a currency to trade for engagement. We live in an era in which art is an entertainment and entertainment is an art. What happened to us?
Well I’m growing up on the internet and LOVE the integration and overall efficacy that the internet has caused. All those issues you just listed about the internet are because of CORPORATIONS as usual seeing what generates them more money at the expense of people’s lives. It’s horrible really.
1920 to 2020
After 100 year entertainment continued our lives without any said
I literally have a huge crush on Buster Keaton.
lol me too and I'm not gay
He’s 124 years + 4 months old
@@beepboopbobop Basically a skeleton by now. Lucky for him, he kicked it before those air sealed coffins that liquefy folks became a thing.
Age ain’t nothin’ but a number
Same
A 100 year old film that's clearer than a paranormal video or extraterrestrial video shot in the year 2020.
A masterpiece of comedy. Buster was the best.
Je ne l'avais jamais vu, surpris par la qualité de chaques scènes, toujours bien travaillées...
Thanks for posting. Keaton was a comedic genius.
What great piece of art. Entertaining and funny. Kept my 4 year olds attention (and mine)
Several years ago at the Somerville Theater (just outside of Boston) I saw Steamboat Bill, Jr. (one of Keaton's two best feature films, I think) done with a live 3-man group called The Alloy Orchestra, who write new, original scores for silent films. It was not only a great experience to see a film like that in a theater with live music, but it showed me a part of the experience I would not have imagined: hearing the audience.
With more subtle "observed" humor (like something being missing that he expected to be there) the laughter was lower in volume AND in pitch -- it was adults "getting" the subtle jokes. When it was slapstick (big, physical comedy), the children would laugh as well, letting out high-pitched, loud laughter, a wonderful sound. Plus, because the music was just an "atmosphere-setter" (important as that is), people talking, commenting, explaining what just happened, even shouting at the screen (kids: "Look out!"), etc. was NOT a problem, as you missed nothing and it just added to the general enjoyment and hubbub in the theater. I wish more theaters would show family-friendly silent comedies (so, all of them!) with or without live music -- it is a great experience!
(TS)15:57 having that man jump out from a second floor house all in 1 take without breaking any bones is amazing for that time 1920s.
Watch after 100 plus one year. R.I.P to all actors.
Many thanks to the authors of this channel for the opportunity to enjoy real, kind, pure art of cinematography! That's why I stopped watching modern movies, especially from Netflix, and started re-watching old classics from the 1920s to the 1990s. And there are a lot of people like me. Apparently this world has really gone crazy and at some point everything went to hell, including "modern art".
He's so confident in himself and what he does, he makes all of these stunts look effortless. This is why I love TH-cam. Newer fan of Busters, so thank you for posting this 😊
Awe! The first tiny house! Lol
I would marry Buster in a heartbeat. No day would ever be boring or the same lol
These are some big budget films he made. I'm glad because it let him show his creative talent
Why was this the funniest thing I’ve seen all week 😂
Today, 9/1/2020 is the 100th Anniversary of this movie. What a wonderful film 🏆👏👏👏👏
We always looked at the past as old and considered our own time as modern, but watching this movie makes me feel incredibly creative. It also makes me realize that time has no meaning. Should we be sad, cry, or laugh?🎉
This has made me forget about the COVID-19 for a while... Almost cracked my ribs. #staysafe. Love ue Keaton fans.
Born nearly 85 years after this was made. I stumbled on this by accident, but wow this guy is so funny! the house spinning really caught me off guard!
Wow super I was able to see some vintage vehicles, where are those nowadays....classy look
What we tries to build and preserve, all has only one end which is very beautifully pictured in this film. I loves to see the struggle of the couple and little bit empathetic with them.
I love Charlie Chaplin. Makes me laugh all the time. But Buster Keaton? He can make me pass a kidney stone. Nobody has ever been this hilarious. Anyone notice how they gave you time to read the messages on screen?
because people back then are stupid
@@greedyyawgoo5635 how kind of you
@@greedyyawgoo5635 but not as stupid as you
This was freaking awesome. I didnt know that any thing like this existed back then.
I have not seen such a great actor like him
The "Welcome" sign ..... thats genious! ^^
Great video. Buster was the funniest silent film star.
Old is Gold
It is the comedy show of all time
Qué 25 minutos tan geniales y divertidos! Gracias por subir esta maravilla
Absolutely Amazing.I’d take this over Netflix any day .
My stomach is hurting from giggling...and I don't mind it.
Thank you.😃😃😃
Buster keston was a legend😍
What a film, and stunt😊
Love from india
I think the Silent Era is great... even though these movies are very old... great comedy shorts!
I Really enjoy the movie !! I must appreciate the technical editing of this movie.
They are hardworking...kudos to the team of architect that build that rotating house, this film is quite expensive
House spin look so fun and cool
The camera quality is surprisingly good for 1920
One of the best silent comedies ever made. Absolute perfection.
It's 2020 & I'm watching something made 100 years ago.😅
Its better than the comedy shows in 2010
@The Original Rocket Man itsa joke, r/whoooosh
@The Original Rocket Man and replying doesn't make you bright
@The Original Rocket Man having notification on doesnt make you look
His piano and Hadar Sedesh " My Refrigerator"
One pure silent but expressive and the other loquacious and nonverbally spontaneously expressive.Both fascinating.
"THE GREAT STONE FACE" Buster Keaton you was the greatest!
R.i.P
I’m having a hard time getting past the first MINUTE because tears are already streaming down my face from them not only THROWING shoes, their reactions-but then him picking a pair up to take! I don’t remember the last time I laughed that hard RECENTLY at a show.
On this day, 100 years ago (September 1, 1920), Buster Keaton's first short film, ONE WEEK, was released.
This was made 104 years ago and is still better then 97% of what’s on the media and tv
Oh what a great bellyache of a laugh! Just what I needed.
That second train is great comedic timing.
I heard some people were saying that the voices are excess and unnecessary when Talkies were made.
I didn’t understand until now.
I did not watch the whole movie. But I like what I saw much better than many movies nowadays. It is simple - something I can relate to.
Thanks for uploading this masterpiece!
So cool we can still enjoy his amazing films! 💜
2:28 can't stop laughing 😂 hahaha... it's 2019 but still worth to watch...
I like how the cars just strolling, and they just meander back toward and get in and start driving.... as if that were normal. I am ded
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Dude, Buster Keaton was a genius. He set you up for a really obvious joke and then takes that joke a different direction than what he made. It feel obvious that it was going to go. Pure comedic genius.
Could we talk about the stuntwork here? 15:54...the man takes something like a 9 foot leap down and keeps on going. Definitely hardier stock in those days.
Or he was wearing a harness attached to a wire.
@@ChrisGeden Yeah, you can see how the back of his shirt is being lifted as he falls, as well as his fall not following a parabolic curve.
@@Porkey_Minch Huh, yeah...the curve is pretty dubious now that I look at it. His leg flailing makes it hard to plot out a path but he does seem to slow down near the landing. The back of his shirt honestly resembles what a shirt does when someone falls, I'm guessing the split in the back of his vest was done strategically to make the wire less noticeable.
@@sarysa I'm guessing they reversed the film and he was actually pulled up into the house.
He’d been doing stunts with his vaudeville family since he could walk, his nickname ‘Buster’ came from Harry Houdini.
This is amazing! Especially for the first time
