This very Kafka-esque film is Keaton's response to the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.[citation needed] Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.
At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.
One of Keaton's most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.。八岁印第安小孩“小树”,在双亲逝世后,被送至田纳西州的史莫基山,与祖父母同住。小树与住在深山中的祖父母展开了一段新生活,他的新生活充满了探索与冒险,有欢笑有泪水,当然有胜利与挫折。同时,小树也认识了不少好朋友,包括神秘的奇拉几族先知——“柳树”约翰。1930年的美国,虽然经济萧条,生活困苦,但是对小树来说,却是最难忘的时光。。李素英已经三十四岁了,别的同龄女人不是已经组建了温暖而又幸福的家庭,就是在职场上拼杀出了一片属于自己的天地,反观李素英,爱情和事业都毫无进展,又被贫穷又多事的家人所拖累,前途一片黯淡。
