A 1926 silent comedy film starring Buster Keaton. Union solders have stolen The General, a Confederate train manned by Johnnie Gray, who was unable to enlist…
Video Rating: 4 / 5

The best film in cinematic history. Movies after 1934 are utter trash.
Stuff like this makes Kubrick, Scorsese, Leone, and Tarantino look like
complete amateur hacks who shouldn’t be in the film industry.
54:25 Apparently Buster got told off by the actress after it happened :p
Im Frühling 1861 lässt die Nachricht über die nahenden Unionstruppen im
südstaatlichen Ort Marietta die Kriegshysterie ausbrechen. Um Gunst und
Respekt seiner geliebten Annabelle Lee nicht zu verlieren, meldet sich der
angesehene Lokomotivführer Johnnie Gray eifrig beim Rekrutierungsbüro. Aus
für ihn unverständlichen Gründen wird er als Soldat abgelehnt; dass er als
Lokomotivführer für den Süden als wertvoller erachtet wird, erfährt er
ebenso wenig wie Annabelle. Sie will ihn erst in Uniform wiedersehen – eine
für Johnnie unmögliche Aufgabe und somit das Ende der Beziehung.
Ein Jahr später entführen nordstaatliche Spione an dem Haltepunkt Big
Shanty Johnnies geliebte Lokomotive General. Ohne Zögern nimmt Johnnie
einsam die Verfolgung der entführten Dampflokomotive auf, erst zu Fuß,
schließlich mit einer weiteren Lokomotive. Er trotzt dabei allen
Hindernissen, die ihm die Spione in den Weg legen. Diese wollen durch
gezielte Zerstörungen auf dem Weg in den Norden das Kommunikations- und
Bahnsystem der Konföderierten lahmlegen.
Die Verfolgungsjagd endet für Johnnie im Land der Feinde, wo er sich im
Wald versteckt hält, ehe ihn der Hunger in das Hauptquartier der
nordstaatlichen Generäle treibt. Dort gelingt es ihm, die feindlichen Pläne
zu belauschen.
buster, chaplin were some of the genius comedian who really knew what can
bring smile to a person, these Legends risked their life quite many time
just for sake of our smiles, Its an honor to watch these guys performance.
Sometimes it’s best
To take that Ol’ Black Dog, Depression sit him on the couch next to you
With a snack tray full of grapes, Sweet not sour,
And enjoy some old time Funny.
That was a great flck, thanks for posting!
The stunts performed on a full size steam locomotive are amazing. Those
Loco’s were certainly bashed about during the filming
“Stuff you missed in history class” just did a 2 part episode on this over
on Itunes
I love this film! It is brilliant, an absolute classic!
Who composed the music score on this?
It would be great if you could state in the video description that music is
by Carl Davis! I’ve gone mad searching for the composer…
Watched it in a packed theater during the late 80s. The audience (mostly
young people) loved it. Quality transcends time.
but north win in this war is it?
The general is a masterpiece and Buster Keaton a genius!Had me on the edge
of my seat!
I would have dumped her for her “uniform”-speech. She certainly wants to be
together with a uniform, not with a man.
Well, the South lost the war anyway.
47:31 is that a power line in the 1860s?
brilliant movie ! a must see !
This maybe a silent movie, but it betrays the Andrews Raid of 1862 or Great
Locomotive chase. Kennesaw, GA- Ringgold, GA. Some parts of the movie
didn’t really happen such as the cannon scene, the Bicycle scene, and the
push car. In real life The train chasers used a pole car from Moons
Station till the Etowah station. Also see

One of the great films of all times. Has heart, comedy and great acting!

Considering that I have always lived in a world where sound was one of the
main focuses on movies and television, I take for granted that it is a
large portion of my sensory perceptions. “Live perceptions are never purely
auditory and visual. A change in the light is accompanied by a change in
temperature. You are at the roadside, a car speeds past. You have: 1. the
car in your field of vision; 2. the noise it makes in a wider field, before
and after, heard by both ears (stereophonic sound);” (Chion 71). Since our
auditory senses highten visual perceptions, it is safe to say that if there
was no sound our attention gets displaced to other aspects. For example,
when silent films were the new entertainment people watched these films
without any sort of auditory stimulation. With no emphasis on the sound, we
pay closer attention to our visual perceptions like facial expressions and
movements to pinpoint importance of scenes and climax because there will be
no loud boom or explosion to catch our attention. Producers of silent films
knew that sound was important because it gave the audience emotional cues
for the actions taking place. So, many showings of silent films were not
actually silent because they were commonly accompanied by live music. Sound
has always been an essential part of perception.
The General (1926) is ranked the #1 film for the silent era. However, the
orchestra music throughout the film is used to emphasize what is happening
on the screen. So by silent they mean, no dialogue.
Omd this is so cool whether its a talkie or not
Yo le dije a Yandel que este tema merecia remix y video unos de mi favorito
con o sin farruko la rompee
ES mi idea O ese “pana” del Gadiel hace los movimientos de Wisin cuando
cantaba con yandel … mmmm
farruko la mejoro pero ubiera estado mejor con gotay y farru juntos ese si
seria un super remix
Me encanta! Yandel demuestra que el Reggaeton esta tan pegado y fuerte como
en los tiempos de antes. Gadiel dando ese liriqueo unico que sabe y Farruko
pudo aportar mas, pero la variacion de voz con la de Yandel dejo perfecta a
la cancion!
que wea es plakito ?
Sin farruko la canción no seria musica
Día 6 de Octubre, y aún no se que xuxa es Plakito
YANDEL EL PRINCIPE DEL REGGAETON <3
No entiendo que le paso a la antigua voz de Farruko :c se escucha diferente
en sus ultimas canciones.

parte de Farru les salta el culo !
For You …Good Sunday

Es la primera vez que escucho a ese cabron de Farruko y no me gustó, en
cambio Yandel esta en otro nivel.
What means “Plakito” ? cool song btw ))
Muy bueno el video ,
Pero salen signos Iluminatis!!
El triangulo , el circulo detras que significa el ojo que lo ve todo. Que
lastima que exponentes de reggaeton sean títeres de esta poderosa sexta
Ilunitatis
, ni hablar de el video de daddy ora por mi !!! :/
WAIT,que gadiel no habia muerto?
Estimado Es mu bueno el tema pero senti que a Farruko le falto fuerza en la
voz cuando canta en el minuto 2:31… De igual forma es un temazo!!!
En primera el no es wisin es YANDEL !!!!
