The Garage (1920)
4/10
Humour lost in silence

Warning: Spoilers
"The Garage" is an American 20-minute short film from almost 100 years ago. So of course, it is still a silent film and also in black-and-white. This hurts the movie a lot and even the talents of actors Buster Keaton and Roscoe Arbuckle (also the director) cannot make up for us not hearing the characters talk and laugh. Maybe the material isn't good enough. Other than that, there are some usual problems with silent films. Acting is over-the-top on several occasions and more intertitles would have helped a lot, also in understanding the story completely. As a whole, this is nowhere near Arbuckle's or Keaton's best. I do not recommend checking this one out.
