Sherlock Jr.

This is definitely one of the best Keaton films I've seen so far, second only to The General. In terms of the story (a perfect parody) and the inventiveness of the gags (the killer chair, the pool table, the motorcycle ride), the incredible special effects and the charming atmosphere (the entry to the film, the tie seller's leap), everything is top-notch.

Buster Keaton absolutely amazed me with how meticulously each stunt is filmed. It's absolutely breathtaking, even after 90 years. Nowadays, some stunts don't look nearly as good. It's a shame that nowadays classic effects and stunts are disregarded, especially since everyone has insurance. Digital effects can be infuriating at times, and this is a perfect example of it. An excellent film that proves silent movies can captivate today's audience as well. (03/07/2014)
