The second page delves into the broader social and artistic context of Keaton's work, examining how his films reflected and responded to rapid societal changes in early 20th century America.

Vocabulary: Cubism - An early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture.

Highlight: Keaton's work incorporated elements of modernism, including influences from Cubism and early surrealism, particularly visible in his set designs.

Example: The cross-section house scenes in 'High Sign' demonstrate Keaton's use of geometric construction, reflecting Cubist influences.

Quote: "Life was no longer familiar in a post-war world," reflecting how Keaton's work captured the zeitgeist of rapid social change.

Page 1: The Realist-Expressionist Duality in Keaton's Work

This page explores the complex relationship between realism and expressionism in Keaton's filmmaking approach. His work demonstrates a unique blend of authentic stunts within surreal narratives.

Definition: Surrealism refers to artistic expression that goes beyond reality, creating artfully constructed scenes that challenge conventional perception.

Example: In 'The High Sign,' Keaton paints a hook on a wall and hangs his hat from it, demonstrating his manipulation of reality through simple but effective techniques.

Highlight: Keaton performed all stunts authentically in front of the camera, using only framing and positioning to enhance their impact rather than relying on special effects.

Quote: "Keaton wanted the audience to be aware that filmmakers can manipulate reality and described his gags as magic tricks."

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
