Great movie, one of the very best
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
While I understand silent movies are no everybodys cup of tea The General staring Buster Keaton is one of those films that one can watch over and over and still marvel at. It is so well done thet every time you watch it you find other small details you missed the other times. The film also has wonderfull footage of the locomotives from the American Civil War period and shortly after and is a must for every civil war or locomotive buffs everywhere. The direction and filming is very well done and Keaton's dead pan expression and stunts (there are no computer graphics here all the stunts are real)are among the best ever and will delight his fans world wide, also the musicical accompaniment will delight Scott Joplin fans as well. All in all it is a great film and I was very pleased to find an excelent copy and was lucky enough to aquire it for my collection. Yours aye, A BirkbeckRead full review
Trouble free playing of this DVD. Bought for a friend who enjoys the old comedy movies and is thrilled with this one. He previously had difficulty finding this Buster Keaton classic.
My daughter is studing arts and there are a few silent film titles that the university will discuss, Buster Keaton's General being one of them. That alone should be sufficient, but also from the fun angle it is pure genius. Recommended.
his finest work, an excellent silent film and a breakthrough in film cinema, with some excellent stunts and the final scene which is the basis for many a film today.
