history channel documentary 2016 Keaton's 1924 film Sherlock, Jr. was greatly inventive in that it presented the now-standard tradition of the out-of-body dream succession, utilizing twofold introduction to give the impression of Keaton's soul body isolating from his physical one. Another fascinating method Keaton spearheaded in this film was later a motivation for Woody Allen's 1985 film, The Purple Rose of Cairo. It is a scene in which Keaton really strolls into a motion picture screen and turns out to be a piece of the activity. As per Keaton - as cited in Film Quarterly, Fall 1958 - this is the way the impact was refined: "We assembled what resembled a movie screen and really incorporated a phase with that edge... so I could leave semi-dimness into that sufficiently bright screen right from the front column of the theater directly into the photo." When the scene in the "motion picture" changes, then, astounding exactness must be utilized to guarantee that Keaton was in precisely the same from take to take. The fantasy is impeccable, and it is advancements like these that make Keaton one of the chief producers ever.

In Bernardo Bertolucci's 2004 film, The Dreamers, two of the focal characters contend over who was the more noteworthy producer, Chaplin or Keaton. Plainly, Keaton was an immense advantage to the progression of the craftsmanship, yet Chaplin is, obviously, more prevalent and broadly known, to a limited extent since he was more productive. Like Keaton, Chaplin started in vaudeville and did his own particular tricks, however they were not exactly as marvelous as Keaton's. As Andre Bazin notes in film commentator Andrew Sarris' 1967 gathering Interviews with Film Directors, Chaplin's silver screen was "a drama of space, of the connection of man to objects and to the outside world." This is positively confirm in Chaplin's 1916 short, "One A.M.," in which he shakily experiences an assortment of articles in his home, and in addition in his 1925 element, The Gold Rush. His notorious hit the dance floor with two moves on forks, making the hilarious impression of two small legs supporting his gigantic head, has been imitated ordinarily, most eminently in Benny and Joon (1993), featuring Johnny Depp, and a scene of The Simpsons, in which Grampa takes up Chaplin's godlike forks.
