The Great Buster: A Celebration

A little redundant, interesting. But putting Tarantino in big bold letters and just speaking about 3 minutes it's misleading. Any how, the documentary it's a good entrance to the cinema of The Great Buster.

Dużo fragmentów filmów, garść słów i za mała ilość historii. Początek spoko, ale ostatecznie to niezbyt ciekawa biografia ciekawej postaci

I'm a huge Buster Keaton fan. I'm bound to like any documentary that features clips from his movies. However, I think even those unfamiliar with Keaton's work would like this film.

It does well to show the legacy and genius of Buster Keaton.

Buster's career should always be celebrated as a master actor. He was a physical comedy magician, as well as a comedic storyteller. There's no one who comes close to the talent Buster had with physical comedic timing.

THE GREAT BUSTER: A CELEBRATION-2018(NOT RATED)-Nov. 17. By:Clem The Movie Guy. I got a chance to attend a special screening of the new documentary film, The Great Buster: A Celebration. The Great Buster is written & directed by Peter Bogdanovich who narrates the life & career of Buster Keaton, one of Hollywood’s greatest performers & a pioneer during the silent film era. Born to make people laugh from his childhood beginning as a performer with his parents on the vaudeville circuit to his earning the trademark name “The Great Stone Face” for his physical comedy & the deadpan expression. The documentary shows highlights of some of Buster’s famous films which he wrote, directed, starred in, & produced. With each film clip that is shown, you can see how much of a technical genius he was, from setting up the gags to camera placement. His techniques went on to influence today’s films & TV shows. During the 1920s, Buster was able to make the movies he wanted without anyone telling him what to do or how to do it but all that changed when Buster was tricked into signing with the studio company MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). By signing with them, Buster’s freedom to be able to make movies his way, doing his own stunts & improvising without a script was restricted & his career went into decline. The Great Buster is a remarkable & compelling look at this pioneer in the comedy world who had a huge influence on today’s filmmakers & actors. After seeing this documentary, I’m intrigued to watch some of Buster’s films, both the shorts & features that he made. The Great Buster: A Celebration is a MUST-SEE FILM for all film lovers.
