Buster Keaton




Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton, was an American actor, vaudevillian, comedian, filmmaker, stunt performer, and writer. He was born October 4, 1895 in Piqua, Kansas, U.S and died February 1, 1966 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, U.S at the age of 70.

He is most known from his silent films, that started with his first film short The Butcher Boy, where he played him self

Buster Keaton's film 'One Week' shows a very funny, and at parts surreal first week of marrage.
the film starts with Buster marrying his wife, then he gets into a car and receives a letter that as a gift he has been given a house from his uncle. He soon discovers that his new house is in boxes and he needs to make it, how ever, someone swaps the order of the boxes, resulting in a very strange looking house, they then find out that it isn't lot 99, but lot 66, and they are required to move the house over the train trackes to get to thier lot, how ever the train comes and smashed thier house, he then ends it by putting a "For Sale" sign on the smashed house.

I think the film was very amusing, however very difficult to make because of the time it was made and all of the effects that are in the film.
