I've never asked myself, "How did they do that?" watching a Michael Bay film. Sherlock, Jr. had me asking that question repeatedly. It's 91 years old.
tom cruise: did you all know that i do my own stunts?!?! who else can say that?!?! i'm so GREAT!!!
buster keaton in the 20s: hold my beer
The Facts—
1) CGI was invented approximately 50 years after the making of this film.
2) Buster Keaton jumped through a man’s stomach.
3) Buster Keaton was a witch.
I was like "Yeah this is fine I suppose" at first, and then the climax ended up being one of the most insane things I've ever witnessed. This guy's very good at pool!
Fun fact: Keaton broke his neck while making this movie but apparently didn’t notice, choosing to just ignore the blinding headaches he suffered for months after.
this guy’s good
buster keaton films make me happy but half the time i’m like “how the FUCK did he do that”
I cannot believe what I just witnessed!
This film is just shy of 90 YEARS OLD and it is without a doubt, one of the most inspired and delightful things I have seen in my life thus far. Keaton's expressions, his inventive sequences and his timing are impeccable, and at 45 lean minutes, this baby is a well-oiled machine. I had only seen Keaton's The General before this, but in light of my Chaplin viewings, I can indeed see why there is a fan-boy rivalry as to who is the greatest of these two visionaries. More Keaton for me please, and make that a second and third helping of this one while we are at it...
Comedy was at its peak when it was just guys slipping on banana peels and almost killing themselves in the process
Sherlock, Jr. is about the possibilities of cinema in so many ways, a film that on-paper is a perfectly-great comedic jaunt in-line with the rest of its creator's oeuvre but also serves as an early reflection of what screen and audience means, that not only holds up over the years as a timeless piece of masterful film-making but also achieves a new resonance with the introduction of additional technological screens in our lives that must not have been too dissimilar from the onset of theaters during its release.
So... that's a lot of words to say that Buster Keaton was a pretty smart guy, and being a pretty smart guy (who directed, produced, edited, and starred in this film) he…
Benedict Cumberbatch could never
always do whatever the movies tell you to do
