Mack Sennett

Japanese: セネット - せねっと(英語表記)Mack Sennett
Mack Sennett

American film producer and director. His real name was Micheal Sinnott. He was born in Richmond, near Quebec, Canada. He went to America in 1897 and devoted himself to the theater world, but gradually became interested in film. In 1909, he joined Biograph, where D.W. Griffith was employed, and in 1912, he became independent and founded the Keystone Company. He showed a unique sense for comedy, and continued to create slapstick comedies that were purely about movement, making full use of high-speed chases by Ford Sterling of the Keystone Cops and fat Roscoe Arbuckle, beautiful women in swimsuits, pie throwing, and crazy destruction. These were also called Keystone Comedies or Sennett Comedies. Sennett's mark on American comedy is immeasurable, as most of the popular comedians who would later become famous, such as Chaplin, Keaton, and Ben Turpin, grew up under his guidance.

Japanese:

アメリカ映画の製作者、監督。本名Micheal Sinnott。カナダのケベック近郊リッチモンド生まれ。1897年アメリカに行き、演劇界に身を投じるが、しだいに映画にひかれ、1909年、D・W・グリフィスが在籍するバイオグラフ社に入り、1912年独立してキーストン社を設立した。喜劇に特異な感覚をみせて、キーストン警官隊(コップス)のフォード・スターリングやでぶのロスコー・アーバックルらのスピード感あふれる追っかけ、水着美人、パイ投げ、狂騒に満ちた破壊などを駆使して純粋に動きだけに徹したスラプスティック・コメディをつくり続けた。これらはキーストン喜劇、セネット喜劇ともよばれた。チャップリン、キートン、ベン・ターピンら、のちに名をなす喜劇の人気者たちの大部分が彼の下から育つなど、セネットがアメリカ喜劇に残した足跡の大きさは計り知れない。
