Keaton Project post #36 Buster Keaton and Gravity, by Jim Emerson of The Chicago Sun-Times. This highly entertaining must-read article examines, by using a selection of high-res screen pulls, Keaton’s Our Hospitality which, as Emerson writes, was Keaton’s first feature as auteur and his first masterpiece:
Among the things you will learn from watching Buster Keaton’s “Our Hospitality”
● A novel method for easily collecting firewood.
● How to move a donkey away from railroad tracks, or vice-versa.
● How to improvise a boat.
● How to make a lady from a horse’s behind
● How to put on a top hat in a low-ceilinged carriage (and why a porkpie hat is so obviously preferable).
In other words, the act of seeing this movie will immeasurably improve your life…
