I am 98 years old. I was born 1921 in Brushy Mountains of Western NC. Thank you for sharing this I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this. It really took me back to my youth taking the train to town for 5 cents to the moving pictures and watching these films. How much this old world has changed.
Thank God we have people that had the forethought to protect this film and transfer it for us to see. This so easily could have been lost to time like the MAJORITY of film from the 1900s to 1930s.
Sadly, so veey many of the old silent nitrate films are missing, vanished, lost, destroyed, burned or just disintegrated. I cry real tears at their loss...
I doubt it. He was big though. Even his last film was really good. I can't remember it's name. He was driving a small train across country i believe. It's been so long since I've seen it. It was very classic style buster keaton.
Keaton was a genius, the use of flashbacks, animations and his strong desire to avoid cue cards and have the story tell itself was truly ground breaking for the time.
As a professional cameraman for the last 30 years I find it very interesting that there are no noticeable camera movements. No camera zooming, no tracking, no panning and no tilting to follow the characters every movement. Everything happens in the fixed frame scene. I did notice one gentle tilt down on the policeman hit with the horse shoe 3:55. A slight pan left to keep the dog action in frame 7:08. And an interesting, but unusual combination of a pan left and tilt down as he gets off the train. (I think the camera person possibly missed Busters first action cue when moving left on the engine to light his cigarette) The only reason to move a camera is to follow the action. Never anticipate it or lag behind it 9:13. Here is the only pan right across the poster 10:32.This expert pan left, to capture the cart stopping, so we can see Buster exit the driving seat 16:53. I nearly missed the pull focus after he bends the key at 20:10. Having said all that it must be very difficult, as the camera operator, to hand crank the film and also follow action. If only the majority of UA-cam videos could do the same and get a tripod, leave the zoom alone and forget the music track, as now we have sync sound. Really enjoyed seeing this masterpiece in colour.
It is something to think about. Especially because during the early 21st century, they were still experimenting with film and all of the cinematic techniques.
Man, that was flippin genius. When i watch this stuff i think about the people who saw this when it first came out all those decades ago. Transporting yourself back to a specific time, very different from the one we know now, and imagining the pleasure and laughter of those people watching this in what would have been a much harder world than we live in today. On a comical level, this still holds up today...wonderful stuff...peace.
@first name last name Hi there, i also agree with you that even back then there would have been people from all walks of life enjoying and laughing at this. The silent genre is a lost art form in my opinion because you have use your own imagination to interpret what MIGHT be being said. Imagination is the mother of creativity.....Peace.
This is March 2023 and while works of Charlie Chaplin have huge fan following even today, amazing stunts of Buster Keaton are left far behind. Thanks for uploading such antique silent era movie. 👌👌👍👍
I show Buster's films for my ELL students during our lunch time on Zoom class. This movie is 100 years old and still cuts up the class. They are blown away when they find out that the stunts are REAL. Thank you for posting this movie. It is so nice to have stuff like this that anyone can enjoy no matter what age or language they speak.
So charming and really funny.... all without the sound and technology we have today! This was a time where the writers carefully thought out the story for a long time, THEN shot the movie. Nowadays , Hollywood spends millions making films look cool, but the story is flat and is missing this charm. I am ashamed to admit, but this is one of the first times watching a silent film and discovering Buster Keaton..and I'm in love with the story-telling element. Simply wonderful.
I wonder what Buster what Buster would think - 100 years - and his films still being watched and loved by so many, and in colour!!! He will never, ever be forgotten. Love you forever Buster.
I envy you. My grandfather was born the same year this was in theaters, 1921. May 25 will be the 100 anniv of his birth. Unfortunately I lost him when I was 22 years old back in 1998. Seems like a whole lifetime ago. You're very lucky to have had a grandparent so long. None of mine made it past 82.

Buster was quite an athlete, as evinced when he appeared shirtless or in shorts & A-shirt .... of course, he grew up in his family's acrobatic Vaudeville act, with he being the acrobat
It truly is... its so amazing to be a part of the passage of time. I found myself pausing so many times in the film to just admire the streets, clothing, signs of the era. History is becoming so alive
Ken Hudson in those days they cleared streets of people because having to films scenes multiple times because of dumb asses in the background was super expensive. So they cleared the area and picked emptier towns to film.
I like the colorizing, funnily enough. I think it gives it more depth, even if the colours are a bit fake. But to each his/her own I suppose. I totally agree, Keaton was a genius and came up with amazing solutions to dilemmas.
I agree. I know some people do not like colorized films, but to me a well colorized film gives depth and I see details I never notice before. There are films carefully planned to have a special look in black and white, like Casablanca and A midsommer's night dream, but certain films it adds so much. My man Godfrey there is a great color print. Also Holiday Inn. I would LOVE to see the original "Father of the Bride" with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor done in color. It cries out for color.
Nah man it Tom Cruise: I do my own stunts Buster Keaton stare down on him with his impressionless face think:Pathetic or more like:You did real good son.
@外国人 sorry I have not had the time to respond. My daughter was in a horrible accident a couple day ago. I've been up at the hospital. What did you mean by autism bait? I don't understand. Please let me know. Thanks 👍
Colorizing Film noir and talkies from the 1930's through the 1960's is a shame, but I really like the colorization of silent films. It gives them new life and makes them more accessible.
In past they watched this for fun & laughing Now we watch this to discover the past Seeing their Life & houses & clothes & cars and more 😔 Life is too short
eg1885 thank you!!!!! Everyone today seems to absolutely fumble all over themselves like moronic fools when it comes to anything concerning superheroes/marvel/dc. It’s highly frustrating, and if you try to reason with them by telling them that their cookie-cutter, boring, played out superhero movies are subpar . . . Don’t even get me started! Boy, how I wish the times were different.
Squeaky B. Yes there are so many good movies coming out today that just don’t get the recognition they deserve it’s hard to reason with kids my age (high school) everyone is just brain washed by cookie cutter corporate garbage
@@Sitzkrieg they probably made a smaller model of the house and a lift, and then frame by frame shot it and stitched together to make an animation, same concept as movies with dolls as main characters
I am seeing for the the first time this actor movie. I accidentally found in you tube his picture General.....what an amazing actor and got to know that he was a comedian also.....The movie General is so super and funny.....amazing direction and superb photography with no tricks and graphics. Though it was 100 years old but appeared to be much better than the present movies in all aspects. I began in search of many other films of this actor.
Look at the travel distance of the vehicles for each frame. The mans fist is moving waaaaay faster, also, Keaton's hat goes flying and it's not on a string. This dude goes flying and smashing into all kinds of things, it's not outrageous to assume he'd want a real punch
It wasnt real, you can tell because punch misses the actor's head (To the right closer to the camera). They used forced perspective to make the audience think he was punched for real. it worked,
Genius. I wish the movie theaters today would play these old films. it would be so fun to watch on the big screen and to laugh with others like in the old days.
This guy is a legend. Extremely entertaining, even for a young guy like myself. Also makes me glad to have Jackie Chan growing up, that was our Buster.
I just love that all of this was real. Buster got on top of a train and decoupled it, he took all those falls, he made a props department build a giant clay horse and say on it until it slumped over
I'm on a Buster Keaton kick today and more entertained than I have been since I was a young child. This is the mark of true talent. Hollywood be damned !! This man is more talented than all the Hollywood "stars" in all the Hollywood movies of recent memory
One of the greatest actors of all time, one of the greatest comics of all time, one of the greatest directors of all time, and THE GREATEST director/actor of all time. He was also Jackie Chan's inspiration for physical comedy.
Thecourier5555 It was a type of comedy you just don’t see much anymore. When you have to rely on actions alone, there’s more room for creativity in the jokes.
Seeing this I realize the digital quality of current filming; In thousands of years people may watch our videos with the same quality of today. It's as if we were watching videos from the Egyptian era today. Amazing!
Какая прекрасная игра Китона, я только недавно узнал о нём. Смотрел подборку его трюков - бесподобно!!! Теперь я понимаю откуда появились такие выкрутасы в мультике Том и Джери. 🤣 Браво Китон!!!! 👏👍👍👍
I was looking for the original version of this film when I accidentally found this. I honestly have never thought I’d get to see the young Buster in colors! I have a thing for B&W, it’s not the same with the colored version tbh but hey that’s some amazing work!
@Necramonium Lie. Men even do longer jail time for the same crime. Our "justice" system is very sexist and favors women over men. Ever hear of a man getting less time because he had depression? Me neither. Women get medical excuses for drowning their children,men get jail time for slapping a woman even if she attacks him first.
Necramonium yea right. A woman sleeps with a high school student she gets a suspended sentence a guy does he gets (rightfully 30 years. Just look at family courts. I know guys who have so much child support taken out of their check they sometimes get a $10 check. Meanwhile his ex wife who cheated on him and caused the divorce is buying new shoes with his money.
Si verissimo..... concordo in pieno.....conosciuto nel programma della Rai "Oggi le comiche" , nei primi anni 70', e rivisto oggi dopo tanti anni, riconosco che oltre a far sorridere, Keaton è veramente un mostro di bravura e intelligenza......Un Grande 😅
He'll be remembered in 1000 years, let alone 100. Simply amazing, that this level of skill and comic genius existed. If anything, we've regressed, not progressed.
I didn't realise how clever, humorous and skilful Buster Keaton was. This is great, entertaining comedy that's brilliantly timed. All this, close on 100 years ago. Now look at the filthy stench of _modern_ humor - yeuch!
I am from the 21st century, but it feels so satisfying seeing real people, real world where everything existed in reality not like today's digital world where everything is now becoming a METAVERSE. Those times will never get back. But felt so satisfied watching these and imagining how it feels to live in reality over today's world where we are just chasing technology and virtuality.
This is the first time i've seen a movie like this.. It's crazy how funny it is, so simple and yet it's so funny. It feels longer than 20 minutes but in a good way, I laughed almost the entire time.
He broke 1 bone, it was a vertebrae in his neck and he never even noticed it until he went to a doctor 15 years later who asked where it came from. It happened in the stunt from Sherlock Jr. when he was on top of the train and grabbed the rope from a watertower to escape, when the water poured out it caused him to slip and fall about 20 feet, he hit his neck on the rail. He had a couple shots of whiskey that night, felt better and never thought of it until the doctor asked about it. He lived to 80, he told the story himself in a documentary.
Its a great movie!! a very Artistic Movie , specially In Part that the elevator comes up to the roof, How Beautiful Edit has been done only in 1921 My Applause For this kind of Movies, No one Movies can Be Greater Before and Now, I hope so Many People Will Appreciate the Old Times Even Now The younger people, Its The History Of Joy And Laughter, Only I Can say Its Better Before compare to Now,... Godbless Us All I hope u all in Good Health, With Love From The city Of Golden Friendship,, Cagayan De Oro, Philippines......
This short cannot be improved upon. Clear shots perfectly planned, little dialog needed, all good actors and settings, one fine gag after another. Subtle expressions and big stunts - Keaton genius. This version has good music and the colorization well done in green and tan. I’d like to be there for coffee and pie,…. Before the depression.

Thecourier5555 It was a type of comedy you just don’t see much anymore. When you have to rely on actions alone, there’s more room for creativity in the jokes.
who wouldn't, the guy was funny as fuck, I LOL every time I watch his movies
Laughing in irl deadass

14:37 kills me
This is way better than I thought it would be. Genuinely holds up really well.
omg looney tunes chase scenes were inspired by keaton, why am i just realizing this
Jackie Chan stated that Keaton was his inspiration. Look the gags and the stunts.
Lol
Seeing this I realize the digital quality of current filming; In thousands of years people may watch our videos with the same quality of today. It's as if we were watching videos from the Egyptian era today. Amazing!
People back then thought they were the most advanced of there time just as now, then in hundred years people will look back at us same way,,
Какая прекрасная игра Китона, я только недавно узнал о нём.
Смотрел подборку его трюков - бесподобно!!!
Теперь я понимаю откуда появились такие выкрутасы в мультике Том и Джери. 🤣
Браво Китон!!!! 👏👍👍👍
I feel like I've entered a time machine and gone back in time its incredible how they colorized this silent film and remastered it its perfect
The sound & colour subtly enhances the loveable rogue of the silver screen before the "talkies".
I ❤️ Buster Keaton!! He was so funny!! I started watching him over 8 years ago.
I'm just amazed at how quickly cinematography progressed at that time. You can really see a huge difference between a 1910 movie and this one.
19:55 They did a great job making the sheriff look terrifying this scene, and he doesn't even do anything wrong.
99 years ago and just now showing up in my recommended feed...
To be fair, although it is 99 years old it has not been available to view on the internet for 99 years. ;)
Wow. What a wonderful movie. Feels like I was teleported to another time.
Très beau film colorisé muet de 1921 ! Super !
7:09 Damn he smoked that dog.
It appears that animal cruelty was a normal thing back then
came here to say that poor dog got blasted by that dude
@@lucin8tor459 fuck da dog
I know I felt so bad for it...
found it! the safe space area of the comments
This was delightful, and the little touch of color made it all the more relatable and entertaining.
I was looking for the original version of this film when I accidentally found this. I honestly have never thought I’d get to see the young Buster in colors! I have a thing for B&W, it’s not the same with the colored version tbh but hey that’s some amazing work!
Genius, absolute genius. 100 years old and you still hold your breath for the stunts
J'adore quand Buster allume sa cigarette à la locomotive , tout est si imprévisible
I love the color that you see how things really look back then
7:09 that guy really didn't care about that dog
peterr Jacobs - I noticed the same thing! Poor pooch!
I know what a dick
@Necramonium no she wouldnt wtf you talking about? Cops mostly picks the side towards women than the men.
@Necramonium Lie. Men even do longer jail time for the same crime. Our "justice" system is very sexist and favors women over men. Ever hear of a man getting less time because he had depression? Me neither. Women get medical excuses for drowning their children,men get jail time for slapping a woman even if she attacks him first.
Necramonium yea right. A woman sleeps with a high school student she gets a suspended sentence a guy does he gets (rightfully 30 years.
Just look at family courts. I know guys who have so much child support taken out of their check they sometimes get a $10 check. Meanwhile his ex wife who cheated on him and caused the divorce is buying new shoes with his money.
Straordinario.... inimitabile... unico....un maestro....di cinema e di UMILTÀ.....un grande uomo....un artista come non ne esistono più...
Si verissimo..... concordo in pieno.....conosciuto nel programma della Rai "Oggi le comiche" , nei primi anni 70', e rivisto oggi dopo tanti anni, riconosco che oltre a far sorridere, Keaton è veramente un mostro di bravura e intelligenza......Un Grande 😅
He'll be remembered in 1000 years, let alone 100. Simply amazing, that this level of skill and comic genius existed. If anything, we've regressed, not progressed.
society needs to return to the old ways
@@kevenwoods7939 great news! cuphead show will be released on 18 February so your wish come true
I didn't realise how clever, humorous and skilful Buster Keaton was. This is great, entertaining comedy that's brilliantly timed. All this, close on 100 years ago. Now look at the filthy stench of _modern_ humor - yeuch!
100 years ago, the greatest of all time: Buster Keaton created action movies.... Watch how John Wick pays homage to buster in wick 2.
jay Dizzle i love john wick movies how so the homage please tell
99 years ago
I am from the 21st century, but it feels so satisfying seeing real people, real world where everything existed in reality not like today's digital world where everything is now becoming a METAVERSE. Those times will never get back. But felt so satisfied watching these and imagining how it feels to live in reality over today's world where we are just chasing technology and virtuality.

This is the first time i've seen a movie like this.. It's crazy how funny it is, so simple and yet it's so funny. It feels longer than 20 minutes but in a good way, I laughed almost the entire time.
It's really good to have senior You Tuber's to offer their wisdom & experience, your replies are rapidly catching up your age.
20:16 couldn't see that coming. Impressive.
So pro it got me too
yup
I never realised how beautiful his profile is.
Reminds me of the Goodies, who drew a lot of inspiration from Keaton.
Buster Keaton broke so many bones through his career. Mad respect.
He broke 1 bone, it was a vertebrae in his neck and he never even noticed it until he went to a doctor 15 years later who asked where it came from. It happened in the stunt from Sherlock Jr. when he was on top of the train and grabbed the rope from a watertower to escape, when the water poured out it caused him to slip and fall about 20 feet, he hit his neck on the rail. He had a couple shots of whiskey that night, felt better and never thought of it until the doctor asked about it. He lived to 80, he told the story himself in a documentary.
Its a great movie!! a very Artistic Movie , specially In Part that the elevator comes up to the roof, How Beautiful Edit has been done only in 1921 My Applause For this kind of Movies, No one Movies can Be Greater Before and Now, I hope so Many People Will Appreciate the Old Times Even Now The younger people, Its The History Of Joy And Laughter, Only I Can say Its Better Before compare to Now,... Godbless Us All I hope u all in Good Health, With Love From The city Of Golden Friendship,,
Cagayan De Oro, Philippines......
I…I never realized how handsome mr Keaton is. I have a new crush, omg.
Yes🥹
This is the first time I see a Buster Keaton movie! I really enjoy it!!
Wow, almost 100 years ago. Hard to watch and think everyone in this show is already dead.
I grew up watching silent films so this is a treat. Thanks
Still highly entertaining 100 years later.
This is so marvelous. always loved Buster. Seeing it in colour is so special
Прошло сто лет , но это до сих пор смешно ! Это очень смешно ! Спасибо тебе Бастер Китон .
Not a word i like to use too often in the entertainment world, but this guy was a genius
I died laughing to this. Now I'm watching this from heaven so I can die laughing again and be back to earth.
Buster Keaton is the GOAT

Both buildings are still there.
the drs office and hallway was the same set as the prison picture and prison hallway set
This short cannot be improved upon. Clear shots perfectly planned, little dialog needed, all good actors and settings, one fine gag after another. Subtle expressions and big stunts - Keaton genius. This version has good music and the colorization well done in green and tan. I’d like to be there for coffee and pie,…. Before the depression.
The color makes it look so much more real it’s amazing
44 years after this was filmed he made The Railrodder which was a brilliant film. Never lost the gift to make people laugh.
