#clydebruckman — Public Fediverse posts

Das ist einer der Filme, die so alt sind, dass sie schon wieder radikal modern wirken. Vor hundert Jahren(!) gedreht, noch mitten in der Stummfilmzeit, und doch – alles andere als stumm. Buster Keaton hat noch keine Dialoge gebraucht, um von Chaos, Liebe, Klassenkampf und Männlichkeitskrise gleichzeitig zu erzählen. Nur sein Körper hat gesprochen und vor allem sein Gesicht. Seine Lokomotive hat gar infernalisch geschrien. Einer der „größten“ Filme aller Zeiten! (ARTE, Neu)

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 8: a #movie shot in #Oregon for #NationalOregonDay

For authenticity reasons, Clyde Bruckman and Buster Keaton's The General (1926) was – for the most part – filmed on location in Oregon. Set during the #AmericanCivilWar, it's a comedic retelling of a popular war memoir about the #GreatLocomotiveChase.

Sadly it was a box office #flop, resulting in Keaton losing his independence and The General entering the #PublicDomain as early as 1954. Luckily for us that means we too can enjoy the views of beautiful 1920s Oregon: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YWm587wKKVw (note: this version has the appropriate piano score but appears to be a missing few minutes).
