Three Ages

They missed the opportunity to make a love story set in the future where a girl (me) falls in love with someone born long before her great-grandfather (Buster Keaton)

How the FUCK is this not as acclaimed as The Cameraman or Sherlock Jr? This is fucking fantastic and misses like never. Just constant enjoyment as Buster Keaton endures tragic unluckiness and in the end, gets the girl… three times. Just fun as hell and one day I’ll watch Intolerance to see if it’s as good as this even though that seems a bit pedantic. This is gonna remain a 5 until I watch more of his stuff and just more silent films in general and see where it fits in with those.

P.S.: Caveman Buster has the exact same hair as Cameron Winter. I fuck with it a lot.

This film is a serious drama disguised as a comedy, and I’m here for it.

Silent films always find a way to make serious things look silly—most of the time, at least.

I love a good anthology film.

I only actually watched this because of the runtime is just an hour in length. It was still over the top and amusing just like every other Buster Keaton film. The idea of the film is very unique, showing how love hasn’t changed at all through three completely different periods of time that lack resemblance to one another except for Its theme of rivalry and love. Overall not the strongest of Buster Keaton’s filmography but still iconic.
