The General Reviews

My first silent film (and Buster Keaton film).  As a fast reader, the pace of the text blurbs could be obnoxious at times. But the movie was charming, enjoyable, and well-done. Lots of creativity and talent on display here.

7/1/26: Fun train moments. Why are so many of history’s most famous films just the confederacy being like “well…we shoulda won”

This is the second film I've seen of Buster Keaton, and it's just as fucking great as Sherlock Jr. The stunt work and physical comedy are entertaining as hell. You've got a bit of it all in here… action, comedy, and romance with a very nice ending.

Buster Keaton is pretty funny, and despite this being propaganda for the Confederates, it’s a pretty funny, good movie. Actually enjoyed it!

It’s a good one, isn’t as funny as his other works but I like the plot of this one the best

7.9

i was a little hesitant at first since i didnt know what to expect, but this was very fun to watch. it reminded me a little of tom and jerry lol

7-

cute/funny

10/10 for me. Personally love it. Every re-watch i lough the same and just can't remember anything bad about it.

Incredible how creative some people are (even without using voice).

Fun story and impressive stunts!

We’re it not for the lost causey-ness, this movie would be practically perfect. The stunts are breathtaking as they were a century ago and the gags are still drop dead hilarious. It’s just a shame how this film glorifies the confederacy. 7/10

Arguably the greatest silent movie ever made. The laughs come hard and fast, and the stunts (especially for the 1920s) are amazing. This movie proves that Buster Keaton was a full-fledged genius.
