Hi!
Earlier this year (1-28-19), I posted about silent era film star, Buster Keaton's cinematic mastery and inventiveness.
The video in that post took a quick look at Keaton's highly esteemed film contributions—but recently when I viewed another video about him (found below)—I found myself even more enthralled by Keaton's skill, and comedic, acrobatic, and even death defying stunt work—and knew immediately I wanted to share it here.
This video is more comprehensive and shows a lot more of his silent era film work—AND when one considers that his films were made LONG before the advent of CGI and computer technology and tricks—it makes them even more amazing!
You can bet after a long day of filming these scenes Keaton went home with aches and pains, and cuts and bruises!

The video description on YouTube adds more information about it:
"Joseph Frank 'Buster' Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) was an American actor, comedian, film director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer.
He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face."
This is my tribute to the great Buster Keaton who seem to risk it all for the sake of
comedy.
No CGI or blue screen. This man did it for real.
Music by Philip Glass.
Edited by Paul Hagl."
