100 years?! Wow

Now think about Aristophanes, the comic playwright of ancient Athens.

"Such screen presence." 👍

Yea, let me know when I can watch it on video.

The vid says 10 pal

I wonder if this inspired Popeye and Bruno

Woody Allen admitted stealing Buster Keaton's act in Sleeper.

who's Jackie Chan? )

@@netnema One of the most Famous Martial Arts Movie Actor.

He has paid many homages to Buster in his film's

True 😆

Lmao!!

Truly a historic moment for humanity...

Dead ass🤣

spawn trapping lol

lol

Working better than Epstein’s security camera.

How funny is it that movie cameras from the 20s had better quality than most banks fuzzy surveillance systems.

Yet they failed to film Epstein

@@sleepyboy9247 Darn was going to say the same thing when I saw the comment, looks like I was beaten.

Wow, thanks for the info. I’m spotting Mr.Roberts in lot of Buster’s films. He’s always the big mean guy.😁

@@evanabbott2737 You're welcome. All films and the people involved have a history. Too many are forgotten.

Who was the woman in the film?

@@realchilldude1271 Her name was Sybil Seely, she died in 1984. She was in a handful of pictures.

@@mckou1547 Beautiful woman thanks

No

Sure, but I still think Mick Gordon should compose a soundtrack for the remastered edition.

@@fahimshahriar2441 Agreed the motha is sloppy.

It's a fotoplayer with all these cartoon sound effects

Its a Fotoplayer, its quite a bit different from a piano. Basically take a player piano, and stuff an entire bands worth of instruments into added compartments around said player piano. All those instruments were usually played by one individual by yanking on a series of strings, pulleys, and cranks.

@@googlelord1678 Nope, it's not my opinion, it's facts.

@@googlelord1678 your mother is just an opinion

@@googlelord1678 Yes,he was a true inovator and an absolute genius,it´s afact as the sun shines in the daylight and the moon always come at night time!

The surrealist art movement stole from Keaton? Ummm what are you smoking?

And he checked his own pulse.

As you learn more about him youll realize he really does deserve credit as the ORIGINAL stuntman of all film stuntmen 😎

What a face, too.

How lol

Try an incredible STUNTMAN too !

The same thing

Rob Jontey • He did have had a slump in the 40s and 50s where his life went downhill for him for some time. Still a great actor though.

You should look into Tom Cruise. He jumps out of planes, flys helicopters in an aerobatic manner and leaps off high buildings. He’s been injured more than once, has a great team of teachers and insist he does as much as he can for integrity. Buster led the way though

@@seoceancrosser Tom Cruise is not even a pimple on Buster Keaton's behind.

There's one famous clip you'll see in the "best of Buster Keaton" KZfaq clips where the entire front of a house comes crashing down on him, but he stays standing because his body passes through the open windowsill of the top floor. I read somewhere that half of the film crew refused to show up that day because they thought it would be a disaster, and of those who did the filming most of them had their eyes closed. If you look closely you can see that the sill does in fact hit his left arm on the way down, but Keaton never broke character.

@@virginiapicker That house front was reinforced against the wind and weighed 2000 lbs. Buster had 3 inches clearance on each side of him and that front could have driven him into the ground like a tent peg. Buster said that was the only time he ever saw the cameraman look away.

Even I, a 17 year old in 2022, have always felt somewhat accustomed to the air of 1800's, 1920's, etc. I have always had a simmilarity with those times at least to some extent, and now as the 100 year mark passes by 1922, I am astonished to discover how it changes the feeling... People in the future won't know that telephones used to have a disc, because they won't understand what the telephone with a handle was like at all... It's weird that someone like me feels a seperation...

The full short is about 20 minutes, this is just an excerpt. There would have also been more than just this at the cinema, several short films plus full movies.

@@iododendron3416: didn't know that! Thanks!

@@Frivillig yeah The Great Dictator was 2 hours long.

@@Frivillig Early on, turn of the century, movies were far more come and go as you please type of fair, where you'd walk up, pay, and go in to watch whatever and wherever a show happened to be playing, especially as films weren't entirely as structural in nature. Eventually, the model developed to where you'd have a primary A picture, followed by several short films/cartoons, and a news reel, before getting your B picture, which was of lower quality, and the reason for the namesake of a generally bad movie being called a "B-Movie." You'd get a full afternoon of entertainment for a single ticket. The cartoon breaks were how we ended up with most early Disney shorts, as well as the Merry Melodies cartoons featuring Bugs and Co. Disney eventually took the short cartoon idea and produced Snow White. In the 30s and 40s over 90 million people went to the movies in the USA a week. That's 3/4ths the pop. at the time.

@@jonathanw1019 if they only knew "B-Movie" would form a new meaning in the 2000 thanks to Jerry Seinfeild lmao

Yeah, Keaton was a dab hand at CGI.

Buster Belmont.

Closest was Jackie Chan....the closest.

@@antoinehicks2681 yeah I agree with that. Jackie chan was cool and did some crazy shit. Rumble in the bronx

Keaton, Lloyd, Chaplin-- these guys had to do everything. No CGI. They didn't have stunt doubles. Steel nerves. Incredible.

Jacky chan is the greatest stuntman/actor period.

@@eddiekingham One of his crap movies.

Weather's ok but 5 years after your post we are locked down in a Global Pandemic of many falsehoods. It bizarre, warn everyone so you can stop it before now. Or do these posts not go back in time?

So why does it look less realistic 100 years later?

not much

Wasn't cheap. People may have had pay over 5 cents to get in the theater

@@harrybriscoe7948 A train ride is indeed some

The studios played up the eyes in silent movies since that was where most of the emotion of the acting was seen. (Also why some women use eyeliner and mascara - to emphasize their emotional expressions.)

They did use liner, khol, etc, and red lip stain, and white face make up, because black and white film is draining, but Buster had truly soulful beautiful large eyes outside of filming with no make up on.

Hey I saw your post from 3 years ago. In three years we will be stuck in a Global Pandemic. Do whatever you can to Stop It !

Hi Hi Perfections Tell This Words In Terribli Jail Hi Hi

Great comment -thank you Joe

Yea bro I was like damn this pris9n guard trains ancient martial arts 🤣🤣

Buster’s little brother Harry “Jingles” Keaton was one of the guards too

Hello Beth!

THEY ARE! No computer special effects back then.

I’m learning stunts

Yea on almost Jackie Chan level

Waterkun Buster Keaton was founder of action comedy.

@@studentuser101 Buster Keaton was Jackie Chan's idol. Jackie has said so more than once.

Sounds like a player piano to me, all you have to do is pedal, so you can play it!

@@aaronwalderslade I've seen silent movies played with a live piano player. In all of them, they played non-stop.

@@lawrencelewis8105 I believe that this was edited using clips of Joe Rinaudo playing his American fotoplayer. If you haven't heard him, look him up on YT. He's awesome, and the fotoplayer is an amazing instrument.

@@weeniedogwrangler7096 Thanks for pointing Joe out. That is some machine! And I always wondered what the name of that circus song was. I can only guess that such a "piano" was used in movie theatres back then.

Ha! Thanks for pointing that out -- I totally missed it.

@k158 my beer you will hold r/whooosh

@k158 my beer you will hold wtf's ur problem? thousands of stuntmen and actors have got hurt over the years filming action scenes

@@zxbzxbzxb1 So, just sing the jackass song to yourself. lol

Yeah, ain't that somethin'?

Was violent with humour !

They still had respect for the integrity of the human body back then. There was no real gore until the 1960s.

Right: I had the same feeling looking at the prisoner killing all the guards... A true genocide!

@Anifco67 Boomers and third wave feminists.

Anderson Pinheiro as

Too bad Chan became a USA-hating shill for the evil commie regime in China.

For me the 80s and 90s was where Jackie's best work can be found. Mid 90s and beyond not so much.

That title probably belonged to Eric Campbell, who was the giant bully in Charlie Chaplin's films. He's probably best known as the bully in Chaplin's film "Easy Street" (1917).

Hello 👋 Beverly 🌺 How are you doing today??

Not a story of all his stunts, but something like that + Buster's own words about the most famous of them kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZh2hKyHktDUdZ8.html
