unlabelledView post →Have you *seen* The General? The entire movie is a chase scene told comically. Hell, at one point he nearly shoot his own train with his own cannon, in a single take/single shot. Just brilliant.
unlabelledView post →Buster Keaton in 'The General' I first saw this film at the place that would become the peculiarium in Portland Oregon back in the late 90s and I busted a gut. I also saw Ace Ventura and mars attacks there.
unlabelledView post →#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday THE WEIGHT was a pleasant surprise with a great ending. Gorgeous photography too. THE GENERAL is my 4th B. Keaton film. Disappointed - though technically perfect, esp. for its time. But the Lost Cause bs tainted it and it just wasn’t as funny as the other 3.

unlabelledView post →It was absolutely a kind of soft cultural propaganda - "look at the wonders of our fantastic society!" - but also resulted in some genuinely lovely artifacts and art. Night Mail, from the General Post Office Film Unit in 1936, is a perfect example.
unlabelledView post →I've always described it (now that I'm older) as more of an action-adventure movie, with horrific elements. But I really just don't know what the General Consensus™️ is. Either way, it's one of my favorites (along with probably LOTS of other folks, haha).

unlabelledView post →Alfred Hitchcock was a very conservative Catholic, so if I had to give one piece of evidence against the Jewish conspiracy theory it would be his film Marnia—which exemplifies the GENERAL MORAL TREND of the culture—and not a Jewish conspiracy.
unlabelledView post →Idk. The General audience might like if it's a "cool action hero guy blowing stuff up" kind of movie.

Many critics consider THE GENERAL to be the last great comedy of the silent era, and it consistently ranks as one of the greatest films of all time on international critics’ polls. Set during the Civil War and based on a true incident, the film is an
unlabelledView post →What's a movie that you liked, but cannot rewatch for ... reasons? My two: 1. The General (1926), because Hollywood took the Great Locomotive Chase which was done by some Union guys, some of whom lost their lives over it, and catering to a lost-cause audience, turned it into a rebel caper.

unlabelledView post →Great fun watching Buster Keaton's silent film masterpiece The General at Lucas Arts Theater in Savannah. The only bad thing was the unfortunate tendency of the audience to cheer for the traitors in gray. The "good guys" in the movie were Confederates, though they didn't show much good character.

unlabelledView post →This is Keaton’s masterpiece, a flawed one, yes. It’s not funny enough and the story could be developed more. But it is significant, flaws and all. The closest a film will ever get to flawed perfection.
positive · AI labelView post →There's quite a lot going on here - it is certainly comedic, but there is also plenty of action and even some romance in this American Civil War story. Keaton ("Johnnie") has been deemed more important as a railroad engineer so was rejected as a soldier - but this causes his girlfriend "Annabelle" and her family to think he is yella'! When the Yankees concoct a plan to steal his engine "The General" whilst she is travelling on it; he must use all his wits and guile to get them both back and is…
