Art Stars: The Silent Kings of Comedy--Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, & Harold Lloyd

I find comparisons and "comedy battles" (--who's the real king?) to be, uh, post-interesting to say the least.  Let's just take all three of these geniuses in and enjoy everything.


CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Sentimental, emotive • Painstakingly precise staging • Elegance of gesture

Modern Times

BUSTER KEATON

The Great Stoneface • Stuntman • Technology of film • Physical comedy

Buster Keaton:  Seven Chances 1925

HAROLD LLOYD

Everyman:  "In the prime of his career, Lloyd's most famous role was the 'Glasses' character, a young eager all-American man who was out to succeed in life and absolutely no physical obstacle would stand in his way as he risked life and limb to achieve his goals." (IMBd)
