6What people say
i just want someone to hold me the way buster keaton gingerly holds that loaf of bread in his arms.
to make up for the lack of action, buster keaton takes his stunts to a completely insane degree in the last ten minutes of the film. the rest is great “don’t talk to me or my son ever again” vibes.
