Believe it or not he's a scarecrow!

4 stars

08 May 2022

The fantastic, fast-moving Buster Keaton film, The Scarecrow is a very smart film where Buster Keaton is a naughty scarecrow. 

Buster and his partner both live on a farm in a one roomed cottage which is very inventive. Buster faces many challenges like where he gets chased by a dog and believe it or not, he has to pretend to be a scarecrow to hide from two men. Unexpectedly the chase restarts with a car and motorbike and the strangest wedding I've ever seen. 

The dog chase was very funny. They must have trained the dog very well for it to be such a good comedian. My favourite part was when Buster pretended to be a scarecrow even though his stick wasn't there anymore!

If you like comedy films with words in them, I think you can still relate to this film, yet it is black and white and has no words but it is really good.
