I usually consider The General Keaton's greatest work but I'm begin to wonder if Our Hospitality isn't my favorite. Maybe just because it's fresher to me - I've only seen it once.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-28057445085611780342011-11-29T10:48:40.076-05:002011-11-29T10:48:40.076-05:00Probably Keaton's greatest, although I do like...Probably Keaton's greatest, although I do like Our Hospitality a lot as well. Keaton is so Deadpan and I think his "style" of comedy is playing a bit better right now for me than Chaplin's. I think the internalized nature of the deadpan and the disconnected feels more true for me at the moment than Chaplin's pathos. I know this has fluxed throughout the decades in terms of who is praised more. Maybe it's just me, but Keaton is what I would rather watch right now. Probably 10-12 years ago, I was more into Chaplin.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656287096270976604noreply@blogger.com
