@deanduncan63Saw Keaton’s #FrozenNorth. Lots of strategical implausibility and outlandishness. Excess, played matter-of-factly …
… In this he anticipates his own upcoming arch-masterpiece Sherlock Jr., not to mention Surrealism generally.
#FrozenNorth is a genre parody. That’s William S. Hart in or as that cowboy cutout. This means that the film’s violence …
… is also parodical, not meant seriously. Might even be meant analytically/critically. Still, the violence is kind of shocking! …
… Watch what happens in and after that first cabin, for instance. Wildly inappropriate! Really funny!!
In the end #FrozenNorth is basically, intentionally all gags & incongruity. In this it kinda resembles a Bob Clampett picture …
… a fun similarity that I’d never before noticed, and am very glad to be aware of.
