Buster Keaton

Buster Keaton  was  a actor, vaudevillian, comedian, filmmaker, stunt performer, and writer born October 4, 1895 and died February 1, 1966. He was best known for his silent films in which he used  physical comedy. Buster Keaton his stage name was recognized as the seventh greatest director  In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Keaton the 21st-greatest male star Critic Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton's " period from 1920 to 1929,when he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor/director in the history of the movies.info from wiki

He links in to the surrealism because of he's work was un real at some points and often not making sense. many times in his films he was preforming stunts that some times would not see every day  and also as the house was dragged by the car.   in One week  lots of surrealism in this silent film such as you have to build you home when u buy it that he had almost completed in 2 days with mixed up parts so it was all wonky and bend. it was good and entertaining film  about one week passing by where a man and a he's new wife are  constructing a house and mean neighbour had changed the numbers on the boxes so the house ended looking like this >>>>>>>>>>>>  
tis is surrealism because the construction like that would not be stable and would possibly claps if it was made from real parts there are other parts and sights of surrealism in it when the man cared a piano on he's shoulder ore when the house was spinning from the wind. Over all I think that ''One week'' is well made film with grate actors and excellent play and stunts.
