视频简介
因婆媳关系不好，新婚夫妇安妮和哈罗德在离母亲远的乡下买了一套旧房，旧房是朋友尼尔介绍的。搬进第一天，尼尔夫妇过来探访，尼尔讲了一“死亡故事”，——玛丽在凌晨2点，无缘无故拿刀捅死了丈夫亚伯，而且捅了40刀，事后将亚伯挂于仓库；清晨，警察赶到，玛丽竟不知发生了什么，仅告诉警察房间有鬼。尼尔半开玩笑说故事就发生在这个房间。故事近似玩笑，安妮没在意。 但从第二天，安妮单独在家时，房间开始发生奇奇怪怪的事情，不时现鬼影；并常在凌晨2点被噩梦惊醒……。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.。
