Anyone who says they don't like silent movies has never seen "The General"... I had the distinct and rare pleasure of seeing this live with the National Symphony Orchestra playing the full score. The conductor said it was hardest thing they had ever attempted... one hour and a quarter of nonstop playing! Wonderful.

The simple one shot of the train bridge crash was the most expensive single shot in the history of Silent Cinema - $42,000 or around $1.5 million today ! The entire local town turned out to watch and cheer. The wreck sat in the river bed for the next two decades until bought for scrap in WW2.

It can't be original music in the sense that of being played with the film when released -- Perry wasn't even born until 1930. I suppose his score is in the style of piano extemporization which might have accompanied The General, but it would be interesting to know some details.

There are so many incredibly funny moments that just pass while the movie keeps gaining momentum. Like when he asks the girl to feed the fire and she feeds it one little twig at a time, carefully selecting each twig.

Fun fact: Buster Keaton actually learned how to drive a train for this movie and got very good at it. The only stunt he wasn’t sure about was the famous scene where he’s sitting lost in thought as the train starts moving, taking him with it. If the engineer used just a little too much steam it could have thrown him off and killed him. In the end after a few trial runs they went ahead with it and fortunately it went perfectly

That is amazing. Today, no producer would ever let any actor do something like that, because of insurance and other things. They barely let Tom Cruise do his own stunts. And given my own meager knowledge of steam locomotives, letting Keaton do all this was very risky, at any speed. Any number of things could've happened to him.

The Texas is in the Cyclorama in Atlanta and the General is in the museum in Kennesaw/ Big Shanty. I did a motorcycle ride and followed the trail of the General and Texas all the way to the end in Ringgold Georgia where there is a stone marker beside the railroad that says, " This is where the General was abandoned." There were over 20 raiders that stole the General... It's a good history read!

One of the best movies if not the best of Buster Keaton's works. The story is simple and the cinematography is simply stunning. The best scene was where the train falls off of the bridge. It's simply the greatest scene in the history of silent films. You should watch this, it just shows you how well-made movies used to be. Hollywood movies can't even come close to this masterpiece.

They often had to go into court to show that his father wasn't really abusing him. His stage name Buster came because he had the skill to cry loud and shed copious tears on cue.

I perfectly know hard it is dub sountracks to videos because if you have seen a quality version of FOUR SONS with its movietone soundtrack reinstated, I did it myself years ago and that took me like ten days (I don't longer have it at hand because of issues with computers although other people have probably copied and put different sites). I have been resynchronizing and improving sound of commercials, mostly from Argentina for years. They take by far less time but it is a challenge. I would love to be able to dub the William Perry score for THE IRON HORSE to the DVD version, although I got it from a VHS version that I had to fix because it was not well prepared on the SLP speed and there are few flaws algo the way. Then, the movie will have to be speeded up to adjust to the music and then try to recreate the tints: I never liked what 20th Century-Fox did in their very expensive DVD set.

Afortunadamente en mi caso, la remasterización de The General es fiel a la película original y no contiene alteraciones en la velocidad. Con todavía más suerte la versión en DVD de la que he extraído la banda sonora de William P. Perry era de telecine entrelazado, o sea, tampoco se le había aplicado una modificación de la velocidad, que es lo que suele hacerse en las transferencias 24fps -> 25fps para la zona PAL (mi zona). Así pues, bastó con recortar la versión remasterizada para que las escenas coincidiesen en orden y longitud (en la versión DVD muchos fotogramas están mezclados, pero identifiqué el primero y el último de cada escena y entonces edité el vídeo remasterizado de acuerdo con esto). Al colocar el audio del DVD encima ya coincidía en longitud y estaba sincronizado. En el caso de The Iron Horse que explicas, me gustaría saber por qué quieres cambiar la velocidad del vídeo en vez de la del audio. Aunque quizás no he entendido del todo bien tu idea.
@radiotelefonia
@radiotelefonia 7 жыл бұрын
La causa del cambio de la velocidad viene de mi experiencia haciendo doblajes en publicidades. Generalmente se aceleraba la música para hacerla coincidir con lo filmado aunque en algunos casos (un aviso argentino del Ford Falcon) hice lo contrario para que la música sonara tal como se grabó. En el DVD de El Caballo de Hierro, habría que utilizar la versión americana que es la que coincide con la música de William Perry. La película quedó mucho más ralentizada que la versión de Paul Killiam y también le sacaron los tintes que había restaurado Karl Malkames. Yo te la puedo ofrecer en descarga directa... la rescaté de un video originalmente grabado por la editora en SLP con mal sonido, pero que pude rescatar del todo. La sincronización de sonido se hace a ojo y oreja... generalmente acelero la velocidad de proyección para que se ajuste a la música y queda bien. Si se acelera la música queda mal porque se cambia la tonalidad y en algún momento también el tempo. Un laburo de estos, si uno tiene paciencia y tiempo, se puede lograr en diez días. Me pidieron también que haga un doblaje alguna vez de la música de William Perry para LA QUIMERA DEL ORO. pero no me gusta demasiado la versión de Criterion ya que podrían haber realizado también una recreación de los títulos originales.

My Dad talked about watching the old silent movies and someone would be playing a piano in the theater along with the movie. As a kid he would help sometimes turning the hand crank on the movie projector to give the guy who ran it a break when his arm got tired. He talked fondly of those times into his late 90s.

I just started watching silent movies last year when the pandemic was keeping us all at home. This is the very first time I have seen a Buster Keaton movie. I think this should be considered an action movie instead of a comedy. I saw a few things that made me smile but nothing really that made me laugh but there was definitely a lot of action in this movie and I would absolutely watch it again. If anyone reading this has any suggestions for other Buster Keaton movies that I should check out, please let me know!!! There is nothing that can compare to watching a movie from the past but I would really love to see silent films make a comeback and see some of today's actors and actresses star in them.

Buster is nearly always running (and down train tracks - try that on for size), climbing/jumping, carrying something, throwing something high up onto the train over and over, running back and forth along the top of a train. falling down a hill - just in CONSTANT motion. How exhausted he must have been at the end of a single day of shooting, let alone when shooting ended, is unimaginable.

I'm thrilled with the movie. One or two years ago I was having fun with a synthesizer. I played a variety of tunes that came to mind. And I composed a song in the style of the times of the war of the North and the South. I've never seen this movie before, I've never heard this music before. I was amazed when I heard the music in this movie. This is an almost exact repetition of my essay. A complete match in the first phrase and small discrepancies later. I know for sure, I wrote it myself. Could I really guess the style so accurately? Yes, my song turned out to be simpler. The composer changes the theme and tonality according to the events. I'm not his competitor. But I was still pleased to hear it. (For information: I am a Russian from Moscow).

My late father was born in 1925 when the film was made in 1926 he was one year old. Beautiful movie through which I visited in 1926.

The movie was filmed in 1926, but the story it represents takes place in the 1860's, during the American Civil War.

I saw a series of silent films presented on television on KPBS in the late 60s. One of them was “The General.” And I was hooked. I think I was 12 or 13. 😀

You have to understand that when this was filmed it was during a period of pro South nostalgia much of it pushed by President Wilson. The attitude of much of the popular culture was “Hey maybe the South were the good guys after all.”

Un maravilloso trabajo. Mil gracias por tomarte el tiempo de realizarlo y de compartirlo. Siempre sentí que ÉSTA era la música ideal para "The General"; no puedo verla con otras bandas sonoras. Y como docente, me enorgullece poder mostrar a mis cursos estas secuencias de acción tan dinámicas y entretenidas, incluso después de casi 100 años después. Entre la música y la alta calidad del video, es un lujo. Saludos :-D

Sr. Magiblot1 no se como expresarle mi gratitud porque personalmente creo que esta versión, es decir la que incluye sólo piano es la mejor, obviamente es mi punto de vista, tan sólo deseo expresar mi más sentido reconocimiento a tal arduo trabajo hecho con tanto cariño, y que no sólo es bonito, sino que magnífico, muchas gracias, personas como usted hacen de este mundo un lugar mejor, más culto, más abierto, más rico. P.D.: Un fuerte abrazo, y si viene por la provincia de Barcelona, unas cervezas corren de mi cuenta.

Thank you for all the complex work that you put into this. The result is outstanding, visually and musically. My hobby is also working on classic films and getting them to a better visual quality and applying new music. In my case I utilize film production music from various notable composers, and have just completed a new score for 'Sherlock Jr.'

SENSACIONAL. A 7a arte nua e crua, original, pura, dando uma lição no cinema moderno, que, mesmo com toda tecnologia e efeitos especiais, nem sempre agrada. Merece Oscar "in memoriam".

Keaton did not like caption cards, or intertitles as they are called, so the movie is all acted out. English is not necessary to watch the movie, also good for the hearing impaired, so everybody can enjoy it if you can see.

"if you lose this war, don't blame me " ~ Johnnie Gray when I don't listen my brain. Ahahah I love how Buster Keaton's face and his personality fits the character who's giving his all. in 1920's Writers was badass.
