it's a nitpick, but you mean visual effects. specials effects are in-camera effects, like the wind he's walking into. rain from a sprinkler system is a special effect, rain from a simulation and composite is a visual effect.
There's lot of camera tricks and stuff used. Rear projection, which was used even up to Terminator 2. He did match cuts and clever editing. There's miniature work. There was a whole sequence that used the same technique Parent Trap and Back to the Future 2 would use to have the same actor in the frame twice. But it was all talent.
Взгляд героя Бастера Китона на девушку, после того, как она швырнула блин на стекло, не нуждается ни в каких речёвках! КАК можно ТАК передать ВСЁ без слов??!!!!!!!!!!! Комедии с его участием можно смотреть бесконечно!!! КАКОЕ ЖЕ ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО АВТОРУ ЗА ЭТО ВИДЕО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx so much for sharing! Buster Keaton. Née Joseph Francis Keaton IV. ('Buster' was a nickname given to him, after a tumble down a flight of stairs when he was only six months old. When he fell, everyone ran to help. Buster landed at the bottom of the stairs, shook his head, and sat up, miraculously unhurt, and a family friend, Harry Houdini [Yes. That Houdini], the Keaton's partner in The Keaton-Houdini Medicine Show, said, "That was sure a buster!" Back then, 'buster' meant a fall, or a bronco buster. It was not used as a name. Buster's dad said that 'Buster' would be a good thing to call his son, and the nickname stuck. When the four of them went into Vaudeville, Houdini became a solo act, and Buster and his mom and dad became The Three Keatons.) What a Man. He could do it All. And did! No CGI. What you saw was All Buster. So athletic. Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Danced, too. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags. The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! ('Sherlock Jr.' --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til, I think he said it was 13, years later at a routine exam when his doctor asked him when he broke his neck. Buster thought back and said he'd been knocked down hard by falling water, and hit his head on the train rail, and asked if that could be when it happened. The doctor told him it probably was.) And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! ('Steamboat Bill Jr.' --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window frame. And the housefront weighed 1500 lbs.) The rocks and boulders he's often seen running from ('Seven Chances') may not have been real rocks, but those papier-maché props weighed up to 400 lbs. Quite impressive! The Great Stone Face. (Buster found out during his time in Vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.) The Greatest of All Time! A really Great guy. The true Iron Man: broke most every bone in his body, and kept going. And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years! RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.)
100pc agreed. My favorite comedian (some would argue; it comes down to taste) but finest stuntman and yes, a brilliant, often underestimated director. Everything is planned and comes off as spontaneous. He did so many things for the first time ever and the imagination is quite astonishing, always delightful. Keaton builds pace and creates tension like no-one else. The word "genius" gets thrown around a lot but here it is. Bravo Buster
As kids in the late '60s my brothers and me saw his pump-car movie (The Railrodder 1965) and I've been a fan ever since. As many others have mentioned he really was a pioneer on so many levels and that he never killed himself in any of his insane stunts is a miracle, I think the Gods that be must have smiled upon him. It is wonderful to see much of his material posted here on YT and its given me many hours of nail-biting entertainment, he truly was a master.
Un sacré cascadeur, tout est calculé au millimètre prés, l'enchainement des scènes est vraiment spectaculaire et l'imagination omniprésente. Un acrobate et un artiste vraiment doué. Fabuleux Monsieur Buster Keaton's.
@@lindildeev5721 Certes, Tom Cruise aussi. Il manque quand même un petit charme dans ce que fait Tom Cruise je trouve, mais c'est peut-être parce que le recul manque par rapport aux deux autres.
He always makes me laugh out loud, no matter how bad I feel. He is so amazing. I can’t say there’s anything in this world that is guaranteed to make me smile, much less laugh. Only Buster 🤩
Keaton was a true original. There were many silent screen comics, ( Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon, Charlie Chase, ) but Buster's deadpan delivery plus spectacular stunts were incomparable.
My other son told me a couple of hours ago that nowadays people can create magical movie scenes with technology. Well, had to tell him about Buster and show what kind of creativity and talent we should cherish... Thanks, subscribed!
Thanks a lot! I hope your son enjoyed it! Directors were very creative way before CGI for sure. If you want to blow his mind, show him the Méliès supercut I did and tell him it was all done on camera. Mind blowing stuff!
@@melissacooper8724 My point exactly! Trip to the moon is a classic. Buster had such an agile computer - on his shoulders that is. Physically he was better than stuntmen...💪
And for many years the movie that cost the most, unfortunately it was no a big deal in these days on cinema an Keatons Company didn't get well with this😢
Absolutely LOVE this video! The music is spot on and is timed perfectly with the shots. Love that it has a slow section too. I'm 37 and I'm just discovering Buster Keaton and I can't get enough of him.
Excellent compilation of Buster Keaton's comedic talents [despite his signature deadpan expression] as well as a sampling of some of the best [and most dangerous] stunts which Keaton performed himself in his films in the time before stunt doubles [or Jackie Chan]. My compliments on the musical selections for this video which perfectly complements the action. Not only did Buster perform all the dangerous stunts in his films, but he was also directed, produced, and wrote many of those films starting when he was only 25 [1920] as well as devising all the stunts himself. Aside from Chaplin, there has never been a creative filmmaker of this caliber-ever! Fun fact: six of Keaton's films are listed in the National Film Registry [as being of historical importance for preservation]. Buster, you were the best!
I don’t know why he’s not more famous. Everyone in my circle knows Chaplin, but no one had even heard of Keaton. But he was a true genius and really deserves to be known
Agreed. I don't like Chaplin too much personally. I suspect he's more remembered because he had a style that was easily recognizable, rather than for his talents.
Amazing ! 0:51 - When he holds on to the car driving by....that's quite a speed to hold on to with only one arm...I wonder whether or not he was injured.
I would hope that scene was shot slower and speeded up for comedic effect. One advantage of silent movies is that since there is no sound to sync, it's easier to do camera speed tricks.
@@ernestcline2868 It was indeed filmed a bit slower than what's shown in the final film but it's still an incredibly physically challenging and dangerous stunt. Not many people would be crazy enough to do it!
Awe inspiring even if today's youth are dare devil's with climbing ect. He was doing it for a huge amount of different people from different backgrounds in the name of laughter. Truly the greatest conceptual stunt coordinator ever, and responsible for so much of modern film makers inspirations are grounded in his work. Impeccable dude!
That one scene with him just sitting on the side of the train, on the big link that connects the wheels on the locomotive. Looks pretty calm and simple right? That one stunt was all on the train engineer. Buster just had to trust him. If the engineer gives it just a little too much power those big wheels spin and that link would tear Buster apart. Before they shot the scene the engineer told Buster he could do it, no problem.
Orson Welles uses the word clown in the sense that he was someone who dedicated his life to make people laugh. Also, Buster Keaton came from a vaudeville family, started his career on the stage and he kept on doing so his entire life. Vaudeville often included clown acts similar to what his family was doing. So I believe Welles is correct, he was the greatest clown in the History of cinema. I also agree with you though that he was so much more than just a funny clown! :)
@@misterwhyte Well, yes; there are definitions and there are definitions. Anyway, he was a great actor. He would have been even more famous and successful had it not been for Chaplin grabbing a big part of the motion picture industry. The timing was bad. Cheers
Agreed! It really saddens me that studios at the time didn't realize that and destroyed his career. One can only imagine the masterpieces we missed because of them!
@@ExoticChild Long story short: Buster Keaton had some issues with the studio executives. He often went over budget while filming (in The General especially) and that lead him to lose his creative freedom. Also, around the end of the 1920s, movies started to have sound and actors were now required to talk. For many actors of the silent era, the transition was difficult. Studio executives didn't think he was good enough to be a leading man in talking films so they kind of buried him. Also, in his private life he had to deal with two consecutive failed marriages, which lead him to depression and alcoholism. Eventually he more or less left the movie industry, became mostly sober and luckily his third marriage was a success. He never directed another movie after all that, he only just appeared in small roles in other people's films.
while i never had the honer of meeting buster Keaton i do think along with charlie Chaplin Roscoe Arbuckle and harold lloyd, is the greatest actor in history, these films have hard work put into them unlike modern films, films today are just made with laziness but the films back then where made with sweat, those 4 actors where the greatest team in the history of cinema
definately have to give a shout out to the set designers as well!! its one thing to do the stunt but to make the set so that the genius of Buster to shine is another!! No CGI remember , just clever camera work and amazing sets to compliment his genius
@@misterwhyte i tried to post it without taking away the talent that Buster had , but i do feel that youngsters today , with the advent of go-pros, dont appreciate the size of the cameras that were used then lol
Also worth mentioning...in Steamboat Bill, Jr., he performed his most famous and unforgettable stunt. A building facade weighing two tons crashed to the ground, narrowly missing Keaton. The open window in the attic is what saves him from being crushed. The mark he had to hit was a nail in the ground. If you look closely, you can see a man on the left pushing and quickly running out of view. The greatest sight gag ever!
@@misterwhyte I understand, misterwhyte. I never saw him either until it was pointed out in a 1962 compilation of Buster's best stunts. The man can be seen very briefly in the ground floor left window. He's wearing a white shirt. He runs like a bat out of hell so he wouldn't be seen.
@@jamesdrynan Hmmm are you sure? Even looking at it frame by frame on my editing software, I can't see a man behind the windows. The blinds are white and they're moving, I believe that's what you're taking for a man. I could be wrong of course, but I doubt someone could move out of view fast enough if they were behind the wall.
what makes it better than the homages that have done the same gag since is that he's facing away from it. all the other ones I've seen have them facing toward the falling wall.
James Mason, famous actor whonhas bought Keatons House found in a wardrobe old film roles. Mason has the credit, that we know Keaton now. Keston was long time forgotten. A lot of his short movies are lost
Without Buster Keaton and Greta Garbo in my life, it would feel strange to me. If I could just go back and live at that time I would time travel to do just that. If only. 🖤🖤🖤
All his works until Spite marriage are must have,sometimes i feel i prefer the shorts,the pace is crazy faster,maybe the biggest comedy pace ever with some Marx bros and His girl friday and the Billy Wilder with Cagney, cracking ribs & heart attack material, not kidding!!

This guy was on a different level of stunt men. How he survived back then is amazing.
Yes, it's crazy! He's in a category of his own with Jackie Chan.
That's right, bigkev. He also devised all the stunts. He injured his neck in a water tower scene, broke it in fact, but didn't know till years later!
@@misterwhyte in one of his interviews, Jackie Chan said he was a big fan of Buster Keaton.
Buster Keaton is 0% special effects, 100% talent
0 CGI, but he definitely used special effects. Camera tricks and other effects. Not knocking it, I'm still amazed by what he did 100 years ago.
it's a nitpick, but you mean visual effects. specials effects are in-camera effects, like the wind he's walking into. rain from a sprinkler system is a special effect, rain from a simulation and composite is a visual effect.

There was a whole sequence that used the same technique Parent Trap and Back to the Future 2 would use to have the same actor in the frame twice. But it was all talent.
Buster's use of camera tricks was ' talent ', No one had done such before. He was a pioneer, an innovater
No CGI, real stunts and still looks damn good after 100 years. That's class.
