Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

hayleygorman-43033 "Sherlock Jr." by Buster Keaton was a film revolutionary for its time and still holds up well today in many aspects. The significance of this film very clearly lies in its use of special effects and stunts, many of which are still impressive in this day, and make you wonder aloud, "How did they do that?" Methods not yet seen before or had not truly come into their own yet, one that stands out to me is the effect of Buster's "dream self" rising out of his body once he is asleep. The emphasis of the film is clearly on the action and the physical components, which is a win-win, considering how wonderfully the special effects were pulled off. Things like splicing and film editing were still being toyed with, but with this bold new addition to film, it was made apparent that these things could be pulled off to make a spectacular film.

persianlax I thought for a silent film it was still very relevant and fun. It was surprisingly fast paced and had a lot of cool action way before you think of the more modern action films, Yet the whole dream sequence was very thought provoking and almost like Keaton created a vivid world with its own laws and internally consistent logic. There was the usage of basic camera techniques and manipulating the angles, which for its time way in the early 1920s it worked! When he went through his assistants stomach I actually had to look twice highly impressive. I can appreciate it would recommend if you had to see a silent film

SarahSlattery711 Buster Keaton Sherlock Jr. (1924) is an entertaining, smart and humorous film. The camera work, stunts, and flow of the film seemed to be very refined and intricate for this time in film making. The flow from scene to scene was very easy to follow and made sense throughout. Some scenes shock you as you watch, and makes you wonder how in this time they so flawlessly created the advanced scene. Buster Keaton was the perfect actor for this movie. His blank stare and ability to convey emotion without speaking was incredible. The film had many points throughout where you will find yourself laughing out loud. Something many find unlikely for silent films. Overall, I would highly recommend watching this short film!

caitlinestes Buster Keaton's film, Sherlock Jr. is a great film that uses a lot of techniques that make the film interesting and creative. As well as the comedy throughout the whole film. The theater workers love for a girl leads him to dream vicariously through a movie being shown at the theater. It is very unique and interesting how they show some of the film through a screen at the theater. The humor used throughout the film kept me engaged and interested. With Sherlock Jr. only being the second silent film I have seen, it was very interesting.
