This is a blog about photography and illustrations.
I only understand Japanese, so
I will use a translation software to reply to English.
Thank you for your reactions!

In acting, you can show your reactions to the audience with your voice and facial expressions/body language.
But in silent films, the voice part was taken away so the actors had to rely on their facial expressions and body language. That’s why in silent films you see the actor’s over exaggerating their reactions.
But since buster was known for his dead pan face he was limited in showing expressions (he showed other expressions just not a smiling one). He had to rely heavily on his body language (and the facial expressions he did do) to convey to the audience what was happening.
