    I expected Buster Keaton to be great -- and he was -- but I didn't expect that the movie would hold up so well. The story, the special effects, the movie-within-a-movie concept...it was all very well done. And the acting was much better, much more natural, than I expected. I can't wait to see more of this great, great filmmaker.

      If you ever have the chance, find a silent theater to go watch his films. There are dedicated silent theaters in many places, and if not, it's often done as a special piece here or there, often at film festivals. GO. Watching Keaton is incredible, watching it on the big screen, with actual live music as it would've been back then is a unique experience.

      Then again, somehow I feel that when a new art-form evolves, creators tend to be very free and experimental. Maybe we develop patterns over time, from which it is very hard to break free? Maybe there's also an increasing pressure on creators as an art becomes more and more popular and thus more a business.
      Of course, there are many great, creative and experimental directors, actors etc. still working today. However, they get easily drowned by the noise today, they are harder to find. So probably it's also that, the creators of the past were so great innovative, because they were the only ones and because there was no predefined assumptions, of how a movie works.
      Anyway, went a bit sideways here. Basically I was reflecting on your statement, "years ahead of its time", and wether I' agree with the implied notion, that the crazy ideas grow over time. :)
      Well in the end, it's a great scene and this is most important, that we all can enjoy it.

    • @studogable

    Wow just realizing I'm watching this for the first time in 2024, exactly 100 years after it was made and it's great! I'm 37 and I've heard the name Buster Keaton years ago and knew he was from the Charlie Chaplin era. But now, thanks to also starting to watch the original Twilight Zone series for the first time and seeing him in an episode, I started to dive into him and his work and I'm just gobsmacked. Beyond my expectations of pratfalls and slapstick, I discover this guy is an athletic daredevil of pure genius. I find myself mind-boggled at how they could have done some of the stunts. I have to do a double take and still can't comprehend it. And I'm just in awe of the creativity. I can't wait to see more.

      Buster practiced his pool skills extensively before shooting that scene. He'd dust the pool balls with talcum-powder so they'd leave visible tracks across the table, then study the tracks until he had a masterful grasp of pool ball physics.

      Impressive editing? Really? Sure, it was pretty hard, but it wouldn't have been too much different from modern days. The real challenge would be sitting in the same pose. Although, in my head, I'm imagining Buster Keaton just in a newsroom with a pair of scissors, and a measuring tape just like:
      DAMN, a millimetre too soon! Johnny get the camera out, we have to refilm it!
      Johnny: Sir, we don't have any film!
      Keaton: Well, we'll need a good few dozen metres, we have to refilm half of it!

Plus he would double others when doing falls, such as his friend falling backwards off the motorcycle when they hit a divot in the road. That’s Buster doing the fall with someone else on the handlebars. One of the all time greats 😊
