Buster Keaton - One Week (1920) Silent film 

I get to watch something made 100 years ago and it's better than anything I can find on TV nowadays.

My grandfather (born mid 1920’s) told me about going to the nickel and dime movie theaters as a child to see Buster Keaton shorts before they had installed sound. He said that the nickel theater would have a live piano, but the dime theaters had popcorn and an organ. I’d love to take in a movie like that in my lifetime.

"Wedding bells have such a sweet sound but such a sour echo" that's actually quite profound

I can't believe no stunt men or women were part of this. Real actors at that time.

Watching this on Busters 124th birthday today. I am a huge fan of Buster Keaton; Charlie Chaplin may have been big at this time but in my opinion Buster Keaton was the true King of silent comedy.

Buster Keaton was breakin the fourth wall a century ago with his visual gags, now that's peak comedy.

I’m 87 an I remember these time when I watch on tv

A hundred years later and still hilarious!

The breaking of the “fourth wall” in the bathtub scene is just great. We need more of this nowadays. I’ll take the humor over the nudity any day.

1920 and this still is better than many films coming out today. So amazing

I'd watched some silent movies before but this is my 1st Buster Keaton movie. I'd been recommended but I've finally watched it. Man oh man is he a genius.I love the creativity he & his team had to come up with & to make the movie enjoyable & some of the gags he managed to slipped in. Everything is simply wonderful!

I can't imagine how funny and interesting this film was for that time. I would love to see the faces of the people back than, looking at this film

I can't fathom that this was created 100 years ago. Truly amazing.

He was really just trying everything in his power to live in a happy home.. making the best of what he could.. dedication and determination 💪

I’m 22 but I find silent movies intriguing, history is fascinating!

We always looked at the past as old and considered our own time as modern, but watching this movie makes me feel incredibly creative. It also makes me realize that time has no meaning. Should we be sad, cry, or laugh?🎉

Watching after 100 years feels still the same.

The automobiles were gorgeous back then!

These kind of films are so Relaxing ....

I like how the quality from 100 y/o film is better than modern security cameras

Kind of sad to watch this and know that everybody in it has died

Coronavirus brought me here. 2020. At least I don’t have it! To those who are sick, get well. To most of us, watch videos like this and not CNN or Fox.

14:30 I wasn't expecting that from a 1920's movie, very clever and funny at the same time... this silent movies are much more entertaining than today's movies.

Such a genius, full of ideas... always a pleasure to watch !!!

He was not only a genius, but his athleticism was unbelievable... countless scenes where he risks his life and yet retains that stoik expression. There will never be another like him. May God bless this man.

That second train is great comedic timing.

I've been in a depressed state for a while. So I decided to watch a good movie but there aren't any good new movies right now,so I came here. I like it!

This guy is an ALL around actor. Holy shit the danger he put himself in to get these shots is phenomenal

And that’s how IKEA was born

Sybil Seely was so beautiful.

How hard is it to entertain silently ? Buster Keaton might as well be a stuntman ! Such a genius in his art as a performer of the silent movies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

22:49 - killed me. It's also a feeling of even more powerful admiration when I think this was made with resources and technology from a century ago! We literally watch history in motion. It's funny then you feel a little nostalgic, almost wanting to live in that far, far world, where everything was possible and people were walking around with their houses on their back. :D

It's so scary how this have so much quality in it

1920 to 2020 After 100 year entertainment continued our lives without any said

Is no one going to mention the literal genius of 14:33 ? That really got me XD

This is still hilarious! I love Buster Keaton.

I just don't find words to express how I feel while watching this movie.I do like it. Thank you.

You know this better then things on tv that I can find now

Brilliant! Sheer genius! How many times I laughed out loud. Sometimes because I could see a gag coming, sometimes because I never would have seen a certain gag coming. And Sybil Seely, wow! What a charmer. A pretty naturalistic actor for that era.

A masterpiece of comedy. Buster was the best.

Happily watch these on a regular basis

This is a masterpiece of cinematic history!

Several years ago at the Somerville Theater (just outside of Boston) I saw Steamboat Bill, Jr. (one of Keaton's two best feature films, I think) done with a live 3-man group called The Alloy Orchestra, who write new, original scores for silent films. It was not only a great experience to see a film like that in a theater with live music, but it showed me a part of the experience I would not have imagined: hearing the audience. With more subtle "observed" humor (like something being missing that he expected to be there) the laughter was lower in volume AND in pitch -- it was adults "getting" the subtle jokes. When it was slapstick (big, physical comedy), the children would laugh as well, letting out high-pitched, loud laughter, a wonderful sound. Plus, because the music was just an "atmosphere-setter" (important as that is), people talking, commenting, explaining what just happened, even shouting at the screen (kids: "Look out!"), etc. was NOT a problem, as you missed nothing and it just added to the general enjoyment and hubbub in the theater. I wish more theaters would show family-friendly silent comedies (so, all of them!) with or without live music -- it is a great experience!

What we tries to build and preserve, all has only one end which is very beautifully pictured in this film. I loves to see the struggle of the couple and little bit empathetic with them.

this was amazing & wonderfully made it was lovely to be able to watch it 100 years later

On this day, 100 years ago (September 1, 1920), Buster Keaton's first short film, ONE WEEK, was released.

Old is Gold It is the comedy show of all time

This is 100 years old now

Watch after 100 plus one year. R.I.P to all actors.

I just wanted to get some references for animation. Got that and comedy gold as a treat.

It's 2020 & I'm watching something made 100 years ago.😅

This man was a genius 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

I have never seen this before today and I really enjoyed it!! This is something I will definitely end up watching over and over again.

He's so confident in himself and what he does, he makes all of these stunts look effortless. This is why I love RU-vid. Newer fan of Busters, so thank you for posting this 😊 Awe! The first tiny house! Lol I would marry Buster in a heartbeat. No day would ever be boring or the same lol These are some big budget films he made. I'm glad because it let him show his creative talent

I have not seen such a great actor like him

Absolutely Amazing.I’d take this over Netflix any day .

"THE GREAT STONE FACE" Buster Keaton you was the greatest! R.i.P

I heard some people were saying that the voices are excess and unnecessary when Talkies were made. I didn’t understand until now.

I am so glad I get to watch this but also that stuntmen and actors unions exist now.

The camera quality is surprisingly good for 1920

I got sick late last week. Some of the symptoms were laryngitis and an ear infection in both ears. The ear infection has caused me to lose about 90% of my hearing. Now I’m watching silent films on RU-vid.🤨Never thought I’d see this day.

I can see why Jacky Chan cites this man as his idol and inspiration

What great piece of art. Entertaining and funny. Kept my 4 year olds attention (and mine)

Why was this the funniest thing I’ve seen all week 😂

This has made me forget about the COVID-19 for a while... Almost cracked my ribs. #staysafe. Love ue Keaton fans.

Thumbs Up for mister Buster Keaton 👍👍 films 📽📽

I wanted to watch something while my headphones were charging and than I get this and it is the best movie I have ever see, and I thought the 1940s films were good.

when he goes to drive away and the car frame goes without him, makes me laugh so much

Never be another like him. RIP

So cool we can still enjoy his amazing films! 💜

Did you know I am related to Buster Keaton! He is one of my really far back relatives!

My stomach is hurting from giggling...and I don't mind it. Thank you.😃😃😃

watching a movie of 100 years old..and all the actors are dead...but imagine in a 100 years from now...someone reading you re comment on this movie..and you re dead..:)

I think the Silent Era is great... even though these movies are very old... great comedy shorts!

Only legend can remember this silent film

I build houses and that would take some skill to get that tweaked of a house 😂

Buster Keaton was very brave doing that film

Je ne l'avais jamais vu, surpris par la qualité de chaques scènes, toujours bien travaillées...

This was freaking awesome. I didnt know that any thing like this existed back then.

Why am I laughing at something from the 1920s💀💀💀

Oh what a great bellyache of a laugh! Just what I needed.

The script writer deserve an Oscar for the dialogue

I did not watch the whole movie. But I like what I saw much better than many movies nowadays. It is simple - something I can relate to.

Wow.. the stunts performed by real actors were really great.. and seeing the film it doesn't look as if it is 100 years old..

One of the best silent comedies ever made. Absolute perfection.

My teacher told me and my colleagues to watch this movie so I'm here: b

note to self: 1920's fences were strong enough for your average dad to ram into at full speed and still stand upright

when you think the house is gonna be hit by a train only to be destroyed by a completely different train, that's hilarious. humor way ahead of its time. like a loony tunes gag

So weird.. my grandmother was 1 year old and looking at old photos where she had this hairstyle that I never seen her for real is weird😃 gorgeous era♥️♥️

Qué 25 minutos tan geniales y divertidos! Gracias por subir esta maravilla

24:33 cute the end..!

Wow, here I am in 2021 watching a film that was made 101 years ago.

you must respect Buster Keaton's devotion and love to old film.

Buster keston was a legend😍 What a film, and stunt😊 Love from india

Back when superstars were actually superstars and had real talent

Thanks for uploading this masterpiece!

The best movie iv ever seen in my life!!!2019

That dude just walking around holding a piano like it's no big deal

I remember when my social studies teacher put this on the smart board for an example of an old film and I bust out laughing when they accidentally threw dead birds at the couple
