Watched: The General

I think I liked this as much as I can like any silent cinema. Maybe there's just too much of a generational gap. Maybe entertainment has evolved (or, arguably, devolved) too far since The General was made for me to ever really connect. Or maybe it's just not the kind of film that would interest me anyway, even if I had been in the first seat on the first viewing. I don't know. But despite my marginal interest in the goings-on, even I can see the Buster Keaton was a brilliant comedic performer. He's weirdly charismatic. And this movie has a couple of great stunts in it.
