The Goat (1921) :
Brief Review -
The One Man Show by Buster Keaton to prove that he's THE GOAT of Comedies. Another film, another classic and another legendary comedic proportions by Keaton. How many times i have to say this and how many times Keaton proved it that he's THE GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) of Comedies. The Goat is the one man show from start to the end and every frame is blowed by Buster Keaton's legendary acts. A series of adventures begins when an accident during photographing causes Buster to be mistaken for Dead Shot Dan, the local bad guy. The cat and mouse game begins and never halts anywhere. It runs on a riot mode. Actually, it's storyless and characterless film, not a single character in the film has a name exceot for one pet name- Dead Shot Dan. And still it makeses everything look so familiar from the beginning till the end. You know i kinda had feeling of watching Tom & Jerry show with human characters. That chasing is all over the film, actual there is nothing else than the chase in the film. Only characters shuffle but the chasing continues. Buster Keaton as the leading actor rides the entire film on his own shoulders alone. There is nothing to do for other characters but to just support him to get going and then he gets going never to stop. From that cops chasing scene on road to that man chasing scene in the building, Keaton just explodes like a bomb. He bursts all the colours of his comic talent and we just can't help going gaga to over his firecrackers festival. The Goat is wrapped in just 23 minutes but what a solid content it provides, i mean more than many hours long feature films. What to say more, let me conclude it in short, The Goat is a Classic piece of Adventurous Comedy with early effects of sensational comedy situations. A must watch for every Buster Keaton Fan and hater to salute THE GOAT!
RATING - 8/10*
