Sometimes I wonder, “What would modern filmmaking be without Buster Keaton (and Charlie Chaplin)?”
It’s a funny film with a clever concept.
A lot of scenes weren’t strictly necessary for the plot, but they’re there for the audience to enjoy. That’s what I love—because in those moments, you’re just having fun.
For example (spoiler), the train ride didn’t have to be as long as it was. The point would’ve been just as clear if it were shorter, but it’s a funny scene and they could do a lot with it. So they made it longer for the audience to enjoy. The Avatar movies do the same thing—and that’s part of why they’re so good (but this isn’t about that, so I’ll stop).
This film has stood the test of time—and will continue to do so.
I like when movies were made for the audience, not for awards (there were no major film awards for another six years, but my point still stands).
It’s a heartwarming movie with a very sweet ending.
