Buster Keaton, and his flawless long & curly hair, in T H E G E N E R A L realease date: New York City, february 5, 1927
The General is the film people remember even though it’s not the laugh-fest many of Keaton’s films were. Instead it’s a character-driven war movie whose laughs come from situations and comic action scenes that arise naturally from the story while the physical “look” of the film is absolutely consistent with the photographic record we have of the Civil War; at times it looks as if the pictures of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner have come to life before our eyes. With his hair grown out to be historically authentic, Keaton was never more beautiful physically, and the incredible attention he paid to detail in making this movie, down to choosing his location in Oregon because it was the only place he could find a railroad that still ran on the narrow-gauge track used during the Civil War, or his artful use of a true story as a framework for his film, only add to the entertainment value. (…)
It was a ground-breaking film that, like the Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup, The Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane, Vertigo and many other films that flopped at their original release and later became acknowledged classics, needed time to catch up to it. —Mark Gabrish Conlan

Unbelievable to me that Buster Keaton isn't already a tumblr sexyman
he's cute as hell
yes, that's buster, catching a lit cigarette. I don't want to know how many takes this took
3. literally nobody, NOBODY in the game has done it as well as buster. he is where bugs bunny gets all his style
he's an athlete. he's a stooge. he performed from the time he could walk. he's brilliant. he never breaks. he wins you over instantly. he dances like this:
seriously, go watch him bust a move. or this one, it's my favorite. all his shit is free, it's under an hour, it's incredible and none of it feels like eating your vegetables or forcing yourself to watch "film history"
he's just funny. he just "got" film comedy in a time when most directors were still trying to figure out how far out to put the camera.
