If you are a twin like me, you know what it is like to be called your sibling’s name. It usually isn’t a big deal to the twin, but it may be a little embarrassing for the person that was doing the name calling. Keaton and I have been called each other’s names for about 18 years now. After reading this paper, you will realize that there are many more differences than similarities between us. When you see us both coming down the hallway, you may have a struggle to decide who is who. As you are trying to decide, we are getting closer and closer. You look at everything you can to possibly tell a difference but you just can’t. If you look closely, however, Keaton is actually about an inch taller than me. Actually it is about ¾ of an inch but we have always been taught to round up. …show more content…
Keaton and I have way different voices and if you listen closely, you can tell. Keaton, although just as big, tall, and handsome as me, has a higher voice. Although his voice is high, he does not sound like a girlI have a deeper voice and sound manlier. Cody Johanson, a fellow student, says that, “Karter’s voice is deeper” (Johanson). Since Keaton is a pretty boy and is always worried about his looks, this may be a resemblance of our personalities, Sometimes we both can get a little lazy when it comes to the razor so it may be hard to tell us apart when it comes to facial hair. When both of us have facial hair, you can usually tell that mine is a little thicker and darker than Keaton’s. Hence the more manlier that I mentioned in the previous paragraph. When asked how Andrew Cullison tells us apart he stated that, “Karter grows out his facial hair and Keaton is clean shaven most of the time” (Cullison). You better hope that you see us when Keaton has shaved because if both of us have a beard, you are pretty much

The General

...The greatest of the silent clowns is Buster Keaton, not only because of what he did, but because of how he did it. Harold Lloyd made us laugh as much, Charlie Chaplin moved us more deeply, but no one had more courage than Buster. I define courage as Hemingway did: "Grace under pressure." In films that combined comedy with extraordinary physical risks, Buster Keaton played a brave spirit who took the universe on its own terms, and gave no quarter. I'm immersed in his career right now, viewing all of the silent features and many of the shorts with students at the University of Chicago. Having already written about Keaton's "The General" (1927) in this series, I thought to choose another title. "The Navigator," perhaps, or "Steamboat Bill, Jr.," or "Our Hospitality." But they are all of a piece; in an extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies. Most of these movies were long thought to be lost. "The General," with Buster as a train engineer in the Civil War, was always available, hailed as one of the supreme masterpieces of silent filmmaking. But other features and shorts existed in shabby, incomplete prints, if at all, and it was only in the 1960s that film historians began to assemble and restore Keaton's lifework. Now almost everything has been recovered, restored, and is available on DVDs and tapes that range from watchable to sparkling. It's said...

In 1941, that film was Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane. Welles produced, directed, wrote, and starred in the movie at age twenty-five, playing a newspaper magnate from a young man to old age. While the movie was not a commercial success initially (powerful newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, whose life was the inspiration for the movie, tried to suppress it), it was critically praised for its acting, story, and directing. Citizen Kane’s dramatic camera angles, striking film noir–style lighting, nonlinear storytelling, montages, and long deep-focus shots were considered technically innovative for the era. Over time, Citizen Kane became revered as a masterpiece, and in 1997 the American Film Institute named it the Greatest American Movie of All Time. “Citizen Kane is more than a great movie; it is a gathering of all the lessons of the emerging era of sound,” film critic Roger Ebert wrote.1 CHAPTER 6 ○ MOVIES 185 (c) Bedford/St. Martin's bedfordstmartins.com 1-457-62096-0 / 978-1-457-62096-6 MOVIES A generation later...
