Brilliant--so much creativity and risk taking.I'm in awe--not just of Buster Keaton,but all of the White men who built the sets and successfully pulled off the stunts--all accomplished without killing Keaton.It was close a few times,but the man was unstoppable and a craftsman beyond compare.

After Keaton,the Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy took this type of filmmaking to very enjoyable levels--as talkies.But Keaton was a force of nature and ingenuity.Very enjoyable again.

A lot of action going on these silent Keaton flicks--not boring at all.
