watch speak easily be painful for fan of buster keaton . see such a phenomenal writer and actor and comic and director and and stunt man subject to this humiliating spectacle be like see a picasso use a a drop cloth and or perhaps more like see the fine camembert adulterate with whey solid and process into cheez whiz . keaton be ill cast a professor post and whose overblown vocabulary be the only thing keep him from say and tell me about the rabbit and george . ( post would have say something like and kindly inform me a to the status of the small mammal in the family leporidae of the order lagomorpha and kind sir and who i believe be primarily address with the epithet george . ) when keaton create his own character and they might be situationally clueless but they weren not stupid . they be quick study and become master of their world . not so with post and who never stop stumble and bumbling and who who have no more control of his destiny than a bilge rat have of the titanic . and while keaton original character have a charming naiveté and innocence and post come across a such a profound sexual retardate that if he ever do become physically aroused and he would put an ice bag on the swelling and seek medical help . there be a couple of small and redeeming moment and such a keaton attempt to get rid of the vampish thema todd or his suggestion a to appropriate attire for a greek dance and but it just not worth endure the entire film to see them . if youre a fan of bad movie and get drunk and watch speak easily with friend and a la mystery science theater 3000. but other than that and stick with the silents . let them be 100 % of what buster keaton be remember for .
