The thing that makes people good actors is that they know what they are doing and they make it seem real and they know what to do when it comes down to certain scenes.

Film Review

the hook that Ebert's hook really isn't all that strong.

the background that he gives is limited to the main character and his social phobia and how he created Facebook.

Ebert doesn't give any film techniques for the movie.

Chaplin vs. Keaton

Keaton and Chaplin do their own stunts.

Keaton does on set productions and Chaplin uses sets.

Keaton has mor of a plot to the film and Chaplin just goes with the flow more.

Keaton uses montage in his films and Chaplin doesn't.
