This short film is an amazing, slapstick comedy. Created by Buster Keaton, it was made in 1920 which meant no sound or colour yet, that came later in 1926. He did all his own stunts,( some of which were extremely dangerous ). This film is about a newly married couple, who have been gifted a house from a relative. Little did they know, it was a much harder task then expected. The camera angles were good, butfor me, the music was the same. My favourite thing about the film was that in all the drama and action that happened, he still managed to keep a straight face throughout the film. For me however that was a different story. I was laughing at every point of the film. To some people, a black and white film with no dialogue may sound a bit boring, but if a film that is over 100 years old is making a modern day 11 year old laugh, it must be doing something right. I would recommend this film for people aged 9- 13. I loved it.
