1917 The Butcher Boy Buster Keaton

[@claudiabrandofreitas7363]

In this short movie we can meet a superstar called Joseph buster Keaton a comedy genius and the face most beautiful of the world !

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

Buster Keaton's very first screen appearance and already he's got style.

[@mcrp_]

22:19 this Keaton movement it's just incredible, the true king of slapstick comedy!

[@KevyNova]

jamonconkeso It's like he invented break dancing there!

[@MontagZoso]

jamonconkeso Absolutely! That famous original breakdancer neck fall...it was a BusterMove before there was Busta Move! 😆

[@mollyr.goates8097]

6:25 Very first time in history Buster Keaton appeared on film.

[@javimu111]

Finally watched this for my first time ever! Fun to see Keaton's first film appearance. AND with his buddy Fatty Arbuckle!

[@BeeWhistler]

Roscoe’s films were genuinely some of the best ever. Thank you for sharing this. I just watched it with my 14-year-old after watching the version of the molasses bit that Buster did with Ed Wynn on tv. I think both molasses scenes are great but the full film is so much better.

[@lizziesangi1602]

Buster Keaton gave much praise and accolade to Fatty Arbuckle, saying he was a genius at his work - comedy. He also praised Arbuckle for helping and teaching him much. Many silent comedians attribute their learned skills from Arbuckle. Arbuckle was No. 1 - the top grosser of his day.

[@mollyr.goates8097]

Notice at about 23:24 Buster motions toward his head, as if asking if he can go get his hat. I just love Buster's and his hat.

[@julioj3841]

Buster's first outing on film - what a privilege to see. 125 years since this film was made and is still being viewed by millions. Buster can be seen, in this early film, to perform his signature, elaborate/acrobatic fall, that became his trademark in the new Film-Land so to speak - right from the get-go. It must have been learned and perfected in his Vaudeville years and then transferred to film - and helped earn his living in his subsequent movie career. Good for him - he worked his a** off . He is a hero of the first order.

*105 years

[@julioj3841]

@@HullBoy-ld6nf You are right - Mea culpa - my maths is off here :). My sentiment and message is still the same.

[@JoTheVeteran]

2:47 holy shit, that was real!

[@KevyNova]

Buster's very first film, shot 100 years ago today!

[@mohammedjalloh7658]

The release will be 100 on the 23rd ;)

[@KevyNova]

April 23rd? I'll have to plan a party!

[@mohammedjalloh7658]

Hahaha what for? Am I invited?

[@KevyNova]

What for? To celebrate 100 years of Buster Keaton on the big screen! I'll make popcorn and show this movie. Come on over!

[@mohammedjalloh7658]

***** Oh right! That's a good reason to celebrate :3 I'll squeeze it into my hectic schedule ahahaha!

[@myname7056]

6:25 A star is born.

[@theresaholguin699]

This is Fatty's movie. Fatty gave Buster his first chance in the movie. Don't forget Fatty was a star before Buster. Let's give credit where credit is due. To Fatty.

[@theresaholguin699]

Buster and Fatty were awesome and very talented

[@mohammedjalloh7658]

Today makes it 100 years since this movie was released, and also 100 years from buster keatons debut :D

[@IonbeamGreg]

Thanks for sharing this movie !

[@Lisok_NSK]

+Ionbeam Greg, not at all )))

[@mollyr.goates8097]

6:25 The very first appearance of Buster Keaton on film.

[@mollyr.goates8097]

You think that when Buster smiles slightly at 16:36 it was on purpose, or perhaps he broke character for a moment. It was said that in real life he had a hard time keeping the deadpan face at times.

[@pschardien]

Buster hadn't really begun his "great stone face" persona yet. It was until around 1920 I think when he began doing that regularly. Also, I wonder if "Slim" is Harold Lloyd??

[@herethere362]

pschardien “Slim” is Al St. John

[@sarahewson3607]

He smiled more when he had a face full of flour. 12:04

[@overpricedhealthcare]

british, french and american troops were still in battle against germany when this came out, let that sink in

[@overpricedhealthcare]

@classicfilm yeah i read about that, was this film made after he served or before?

[@MontagZoso]

Happy 100 Years of movies, Buster, we love you! (Love goes out to you too, Roscoe..the original Chris Farley, who gave Buster his first break, thank the cinema gods) And a special kiss always for the amazing Luke the Dog, you are a superstar, buddy!

[@josephcalderon906]

+MontagZoso Mr.farley was really considering playing fatty before he passed away way too soon at thirty three.

[@josephcalderon906]

+MontagZoso He would've been near perfect as roscoe conkling arbuckle.because mr.farley was,an excellent physical comic,watching him on his snl years and in his movies.(where he performed most of his stunts). him and the late great john ritter and jim varney were best physical comics of the modern comics or comic actors.i don't know why the hell that jim carrey is so revered for his skills as a physical comedian.he pales in comparison to these three men.

[@MontagZoso]

Yes, I read about Chris Farley wanting to play Roscoe (John Belushi and John Candy had also wanted to play him) but Chris left us way too soon. Jim Carrey ironically is a huge Buster Keaton fan. ;)

[@josephcalderon906]

+Montag Zoso I know that carrey's a fan ever since i had seen him interviewed on the afi's 100 years 100 stars second annual special on june 14,1999.

[@KevinHillofDOOM]

It was also Roscoe's pants that Chaplin used to create the Tramp character, when Mack Sennett asked him to get into a "funny outfit" in a hurry.

[@GozUnlimited]

09:40 It doesn't matter what year you live in, that will always be funny

[@Lisok_NSK]

You're absolutely right

[@tubedude54]

Could have at least put Arbuckle in the title too since he was the main character...

[@sarahewson3607]

The Butcher Boy? Roscoe was literally the butcher boy.

[@ngamez668]

Thanks 😘 for upload 👍

[@mohammedjalloh7658]

Fatty Abruckle is a dress is so cute 😍😍😍

[@Aprilia6100]

Never thought that silent movie is so entertaining until I saw this. I really appreciate of all hard working people who made this. just curious, how much budget they spent for this movie. Over 100 years ago. Damn!

[@dexter1981]

the teacher's name is "Miss Teachems", lol

[@PoutinePete]

I've just discovered Fatty Arbuckle; he's very talented! How does he do that ciggerette trick?

[@myname7056]

bob pete I want to know how the knife bit was done!

[@lizziesangi1602]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the pit bull on the (so called) tread mill. That is hilarious. Pit bulls were much used on silent films and early talkies (The Little Rascals).

[@mollyr.goates8097]

There was one in particular that was a silent Film star. His name was Luke. He was known professionally as Luke the Dog. He was in slot of Buster's early films.

[@victormalyar9200]

r u sure it is a pitfall? It looks like a Staffordshire terrier, I like the scene where Luke wants to attack the cat and the cat was ready to fight too.

[@mollyr.goates8097]

@The Truth vs. Brendan Fraser Yes, and Roscoe and Buster were good friends

[@leshablossom]

buster at 21/22

[@mollyr.goates8097]

You mean how old he was? He was without a doubt 21.

[@calanon534]

Shame what happened to Fatty Arbuckle. I find his comedy very amusing.

[@theghostinthemachine5602]

Damn all these people and animals are long dead

[@MrMLD1972]

❤

[@lawrencelewis8105]

16:51-Buster looks skeptical.

[@roadrunner6372]

Thanks...silent cinema better ...Buster Keaton!! :).

[@LM-vq7ju]

They definitely tortured that cat to get that reaction back in the day lol

[@wszystkiejulkisapiekne9429]

nie wiedzialem, ze sa tez takie filmy z nim gdzie nie grał głównej roli, poza tym komedia fajna

[@ARTUROSIERRALOPEZ]

[@araidias7442]

Had to watch this for class.. would not watch it ever again.

A nice film

[@JoTheVeteran]

Count Dankula sent me here.

[@davidnelson6997]

Josephine Stevens had a very short career it seems , she looked good on camera , just the luck of the draw I guess

[@josephcalderon906]

+David Nelson True! probably fatty's best looking lady of these comique shorts (1917-1920). his best looking leading lady he ever had is without a doubt the beautiful mabel normand.

[@jeremiahmwasapilicharlie2926]

nice

[@manticoremarbas]

Роско переигрывает , всё же))) но есть оригинальные моменты и частое разрушение стены с зрителем

[@manticoremarbas]
