It was Buster Keaton's 127th birthday on the 4/10/22. So I decided to make a tribute video discussing two of the most striking aspects of Buster's films. The most obvious being his comedy and what writers can take from this very different media to improve their own work. But more surprisingly, I found watching his films that Buster Keaton had a lot to say about masculinity. Moreover the masculinity that he portrays in his films is remarkably positive, so in a world where so much talk is about Toxic Masculinity, I wanted to discuss a positive embodiment of masculinity.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Buster thanks for the laughs!
