So, 'The Goat Is Not a Goat' is this intriguing short documentary that dives into Buster Keaton's world, you know? It’s not your typical biopic; instead, it kind of captures Keaton's essence through snippets of his work and reflections on his impact. The pacing, while brisk, feels respectful of his artistic legacy, allowing moments of his genius to breathe. The atmosphere is almost reverent, with a sense of nostalgia that hangs over the film like a warm blanket. I appreciate how it highlights the practical effects he used, which, even today, are mind-blowing. The performances in the clips are just classic Keaton—silent but expressive—making you feel the humor and pathos without saying a word. It's a neat little piece for anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship in early cinema.
