The Boat (1921)


An American comedy by Buster Keaton.
A man builds a boat indoors and wrecks the building when getting it out. He takes his family to an undefined body of water and together they launch and sail the boat.
The boat is called the Damfino and this is used as a running joke through the film, implying the phrase "damned if I know". I'm rating the film o.k. and this is the LAST Buster Keaton film I'm reviewing. I'm getting tired of them and it's preposterous to watch a 30 minute film and review it.

The Kid (1921)


A comedy drama by Charlie Chaplin.
A woman leaves her baby in a car which is stolen. The robbers ditch the baby in an alley and when a poor man picks it up, nobody will let him put the child down. He ends up raising the kid until the orphan asylum comes to steal the child from him.
This is black and white and silent. I thought the plot was boring and the characters were not developed. I just didn't like it, so I'm giving it a bad rating.
