Buster Keaton - The Art of the Gag

Thank you for this perspective. It adds to the Mr. Keaton genius.

My dad said he watched Buster when he was a
kid Thanks dad alot

Buster Keaton is a master of deadpan expression - he expresses so much by expressing so little!

Not only were these stunts incredible but he stayed in character while performing them!

I even see a little "Indian Jones" in the way he always retrieves his hat and jumping on and off moving cars

He looked like a slim, small guy. That one shot where his bare thighs are visible shows how muscular he was.

Buster Keaton is the master of natural gag !🙂

Buen análisis del lenguaje de keaton . Es cierto que el tenía una concepción muy visual de los chistes y que sus resoluciones eran ta. Claras como los principios de la geometría . De ahí su carácter universal y atemporal, por eso aún continua conmoviendonos

The first jackass

Keaton really was my favourite silent movie star since I can remember.

Grande di tutti I tempi❤

I always thought to myself, that what made humans special, was their joy for music.
Then came the machines and they had rhythm like human ever had.
The machines moved my heart, but my heart cant move machines.
The rhythm of my heart now beats with the machines.
But they were faster than me, and disappeared in the horizon.

How hasnt Anybody made a Good Film about this mans life

G.O.A.T

Amazing

So when I was 4 ish I saw a Buster Keaton movie, the one where the house falls. And for months afterwards I was convinced and worried that houses just broke, all the damn time.

It’s insane how well his work aged. It’s completey timeless even tho it was made before my great grandma was born.

In the old days comedy was made to entertain and make people laugh - today it's made to get alot of money.

If only my Dad could watch all this now...he use to watch on PBS and loved Buster Keaton

Wow!!

Everytime I see a B. Keaton movie, I think about this citation: "They didn't know it was impossible, so they did it". - Mark Twain

I love Buster Keaton.

He would've killed it in Jackass

😳😳😳

Simply the best

You take a dick.. Buster knew it.. ROFL all about gags.. ROFL🤣🤣

Mind blowing, still!

He was amazing, always loved Buster since I was a kid. Have to marvel how he put life and limb on the line to make a scene.

That final gag was brilliant! I only laughed at Buster Keaton's version so I rewinded to analyse it more. His is the only version where the actor is 1000% oblivious to the gag.

A legend

Merci beaucoup.

the impossible gags are basically old school zach king

I want make films like Buster Keaton when I grow up

Great video!

😅😅😅😅well ingormeti0n.Good show more 😅

cg가 없던 당시에 직접 몸으로 보여주는 스턴트 연기와 무표정에서 나오는 독특한 분위기는 그의 영화가 나온지 100년이 다 되어가는 지금에도 놀라움과 재미를 줍니다.
버스터 키튼은 영원한 전설로 기억될껍니다.

He broke his neck on a stunt apparently

So pretty much Danny Duncan

His world is flat. Because the earth is flat! Thats in fact.

He was like 100 years ahead of his time. It's perplexing to think someone was so competitive and this much of a perfectionist in those times. What was even his goal when he was already the best? It's insane

His comedy is legitimately TIMELESS and understood everywhere.

Definitely not real
..the girl was a dummy...i had to watch that part 10 times

This video has a very different tone compared to the similarly titled "Katie Morgan - The art of the gag".

Loved this video. Funny, informative and hystorical. Thanks!
