But maybe it was akin to Sigourney Weaver nothin'-but-netting that no-look over-the-shoulder half-court shot in Alien Resurrection. Film data from TMDb. Back at work, he falls asleep in the projection booth and dreams that he literally steps into the movie screen, where instead of a clueless grunt, he’s a suave, sophisticated detective named Sherlock Jr., who solves the crime. In the dream Keaton is joined by his theatre manager now known as Gillette (in a homage to the first actor who portrayed Sherlock Holmes on film), who also has the innate capacity to do very implausible actions outside of a dream like his sleuth partner.

Like reality repeating itself in a nightmare, once again it is Crane who pushes him back out of the frame (and her life) to the other side of the screen - a sure sign that only one of these men can reside in this picture without disruption to Crane’s characters villainous intentions. After the protagonist follows his man (from right-to-left) until being detected, Keaton ends up on the top of a moving freight train jumping from carriage to carriage left-to-right, in another exquisitely well-placed camera shot where the actor completely trusts his ability to complete the stunt without being displaced from the stationary frame of the camera’s eye. defines his famous status. Keaton has the live audience in the bottom portion of the frame but they reside like very still spectres, showing very muted reaction to the unintentional comedy up on the screen, as their projectionist is subsumed in a form of entertainment that should incite wild reactions.

This is something that endears him to a modern audience as many contemporaries hammed up their expression of an emotion for a fuller effect and this can play out as somewhat hokey by today’s levels of tolerance, whereas Keaton seems imported from a later period of cinema history with an understanding to the advantageous toning down of the theatrical style.

It's almost too astonishing, with so many consecutive dazzlers that it's hard to believe you're watching an actual film and not a Buster Keaton best-of. The Stoneman family finds its friendship with the Camerons affected by the Civil War, both fighting in opposite armies. This gives the film its final riveting gag to leave the viewer smiling as the end title card is displayed, and it perceptively articulates how human beings tend to pluck up extra courage by imitating the larger-than-life movie stars of their escapist leisure time. How many of all of those films have you seen? For all the titles in my great movies collection: letterboxd.com/davidwallace/list/great-movies-collection/. 404 films watched.

One need only consult moments on live television where sound is momentarily lost and a presenter is accidentally rendered speechless to accept how much spectators depend upon the audio-visual dynamic for convenience. The theatre manager (Ford West) scolds Keaton for sitting around learning the rules of this occupation with a messy floor of cinema guests’ leftover waste needing swept up in his current job. Like an expert magician, Keaton misdirects your eye by gesturing at the crowd just before the cut, so that we're looking at him...and he's perfectly positioned before and after, making the action appear continuous and the effect seem impossible. Crane’s deception has been conducted in a desultory way prompting him to quickly improvise once the father discovers his watch is missing, and ironically he frames Keaton for the crime by slyly utilising the self-help bullet points in Keaton’s detective manual. [4,161 word essay] According to Buster Keaton the idea for his "Sherlock Jr." was anchored in a desire to capture the impression of a dream on celluloid, by blurring the distinctions between reality and fiction. The development of the war in their lives plays through to Lincoln's assassination and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. My current favourites in Letterboxd (I would add images or links to videos if I could) 1:Heimat - Edgar Reitz -The best tv series ever. Second viewing, last seen New Year's Day 1995. Time Out calls this set piece ‘an astonishingly acute perception of the interaction between movie reality and audience fantasy, and the role of editing in juggling both,’ and certainly the editing is top-notch with Keaton’s physical body in the exact spatial position as one disparate landscape gives way to the next (very competent filmmakers can struggle to get this correct even when editing within a single location). We understand why he wants to impress the girl with a sign that he has a solid income, for she lives in a beautiful family home owned by her wealthy father (played by Buster Keaton’s father Joe). Had to watch that at least a dozen times before finally confirming to my satisfaction that there is indeed a cut. This doesn't seem like a feat that even the world's greatest pool shark could manage; I watched it—again—again and again and again, and cannot for the life of me see how it's possible to deliberately engineer that result. "Sherlock Jr." is one of his best features. 7 films watched. Dario uses Letterboxd to share film reviews and lists. (My ancient Kino DVD—a twofer with Our Hospitality—lists its runtime as 44 minutes.) While she has figured out that this projectionist is innocent, he continues to be innocent and naive now in attempting to reciprocate the affections bestowed by his beloved. 106. As Murray describes the stinging joke scenario’s appeal through the realisation that ‘all the steps elided in editing can’t be shown on screen, no matter where Keaton sets the camera.’ That was true for a movie made in 1924 and almost one hundred years later it is still a risky taboo in a family feature film. Peter Jackson. Film data from TMDb. The door opens to this mansion announcing Keaton’s arrival in the movie/dream and here he enters with clean white fitted gloves, a dapper outfit and top hat, poised and elegant with a professional swagger way that defies his amateur sleuth alter-ego. She productively does this all while the man is sleeping (i.e. Paul Schrader. I love Keaton’s reaction to his rival’s entry as he slightly elongates his neck with a perplexed look over his shoulder and a delicate blinking of his eyes, suggesting his stunned reaction with restraint at how someone of his social class could afford that item legitimately. When Keaton first walks into Hearts and Pearls, it's easy enough to comprehend that he's simply stepping onto a set that's been framed to look like a movie screen; when he does so the second time, however, discovering that the film-within-the film has just cut to a different scene, the edit in Sherlock Jr. itself is nearly impossible to spot unless you look at the audience, which shifts ever so slightly. Doubly arbitrary, of course, in that projector speed hadn't yet been standardized in 1924, which means that Sherlock Jr.'s length is properly measured in feet/reels, not via the clock. (Apparently I wanted to kick off the year with a certain winner.) And triply arbitrary given that in fact it took me well over an hour to reach "The End," because I kept replaying gags over and over in what was often a futile effort to work out how they were accomplished. As amazing as these movie/dream detective events are, the best sequence as I mentioned occurs on the actual periphery of the two worlds colliding. Failed miserably. But he fires the cue ball into 12 other balls surrounding it, and not one of them strikes the 13 ball, though several miss it by inches. (Apparently I wanted to kick off the year with a certain winner.) You can see its influence in much later great movies, where characters dream of a perfect cinematic alternative world to live and breathe in to avoid the brutal horrors and disappointments of the cruel real world where they envisage themselves as self-loathing failures. At one point Keaton uses another superimposition effect to show him dive out the window from a visible interior to a suitcase perched with a ready-made costume, and he casually saunters away without any hiccup in the accomplishment. Keaton must make do with purchasing the cheapest chocolate box after returning cinema patrons enquire about lost property, and Keaton reluctantly hands over the cash once satisifed that the money did belong to the correct owner. Having been utterly flummoxed by this gag 25 years ago, I was determined to solve the mystery for myself this time. No better example of three-part structure than the "money lost in the trash" bit, which uses recurring humor to set up the punchline for a third iteration (Keaton pre-emptively handing his last dollar bill to the behemoth), then trumps that joke with another, truly unexpected fillip. 92. But the reflexive ending, with our hero repeatedly consulting onscreen lovers for tips on how to woo his own paramour, ties a satisfying life vs. art bow onto the whole thing. In real life, though, it’s the girl who puts the pieces together and figures out who really stole the watch. For example, he turns up in various concealed disguises at a moment’s notice, and partakes in two of the greatest instances of cinematic trickery that will have you scratching your head as to how they were achieved. David Stratton mentions how Rene Clair compared the film to Luigi Pirandello’s play "Six Characters in Search of an Author" in its metafictional commentary on character internal wishes within an exploration of cinema’s perceived realism. 19, This presents one of the film’s biggest laughs as he immediately follows behind the tall figure of Crane walking in synchronicity along the footpath and even clipping his heels from the very close shadowing. He did not set out to make something akin to surrealism, yet as we view the film almost one hundred years on from its initial release we can appreciate how Keaton’s forward-thinking, fortitudinous approach predicted the radical notion that the celluloid form of moving pictures could conjure a dreamworld of abstractions.

Of course, since it is Keaton’s dream anything is possible and as it resides within a potent wish fulfilling urge to be taken seriously as a detective, the fact that the dreamer exists as invincible and indestructible can explain some of the incredible feats he endures. 2020. The Shining (1980) Rotten Tomatoes® 92%. We gathered how rich he is because an introductory intertitle informed us that the father had so little to do during the days that he hired a male companion (Erwin Connelly) to aid him with doing nothing. His deadpan humour was not dead on arrival because of those compellingly alive optics ensnaring the viewer’s sense of identifying with the human being and crossing over into the movie world he created. Even the trick shots that are executed to perfection are all done by Keaton himself, there are no special effects or subliminal editing cuts to achieve the desired movement of the balls. A film projectionist longs to be a detective, and puts his meagre skills to work when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend's father's pocketwatch. At three-quarters of an hour in length, the movie is only five minutes longer than the maximum duration boundary for shorts to qualify as Oscar possibilities in those categories, but having seen the film dozens of times I never feel like the barely feature-length running time is an issue.

His invariably high levels of skill at his job are gleaned even before his presence occurs through the panicked concern from the Crane and Connelly characters that their crime will undoubtedly be solved by this world’s greatest detective, and reinforced with the intertitle foreshadowing his appearance, labelling him as ‘the crime-crushing criminologist.’ There is a sharp contrast between the filmmaking sizzle displayed within the dream to the prior aesthetic, as Keaton moves his camera more fluidly in this mansion than was evidenced in the father’s real home, perhaps indicating how the detective does not feel stilted with absorbing the philosophy behind his detective work.

When the front facade of the house topples upon Keaton and our plucky protagonist remains standing as the gap in the window frame passes around his body frame, he casually turns his head backwards to inspect the damage quizzically, but without overly theatrical swoops and contorted facial expressions. I'm emphasizing the jaw-droppers because those make the strongest impression here, but it's not as if there aren't sublimely simple gags as well. The dreaming Keaton leaves his projection booth and moves to the theatre below where he enters the actual screen upon which the film is being projected. The genius of the film is how it draws us into this parallel narrative so deeply that we begin to forget that this is a dream, and even that it is a movie being watched by an audience because it so seamlessly ignites our full awareness with masterful sequences, such as the billiards table segment in which Sherlock dexterously avoids all the villain’s scheming traps. The stunt could easily have killed the man, but he stays fully in character with his reputation as ‘the Great Stone Face’ unharmed by this single take action moment - I learn that the camera operators placed their hands over their faces at the moment of impact as the fearless Keaton remained cool and composed, keeping the faith in his margin of error accuracy.

Charlie Chaplin, perhaps the most famous to a modern viewer, frequently makes us feel more pathos and empathy than anyone else with an emotional clout and social commentary permeating, but this irks some detractors as sickening sentimentalism. Random ... Sherlock, Jr. 90. 96/100 Second viewing, last seen New Year's Day 1995. Keaton masterfully orchestrated the separated locations with a single, still establishing shot so that the movie screen and the seating auditorium are both visible, but once the projectionist’s bodily components are accepted by a linear narrative, Keaton the director uses a push in camera movement from the back of the auditorium towards the large screen, which culminates with an assisting gentle zoom in a fluid motion to bring the movie/dream to a domination of the frame, and our director never once imposes a shot reverse shot to the audience out there in the dark immersed in the spectacle. After this disappointment Keaton continues to read down the list and takes the fifth instruction to heart: shadow your man closely. The film that is being projected features characters whose identities will shift until they are all portrayed by tulpa replicas of the persons involved in the parallel narrative, leaving the film within a film to advance far beyond a background decoration. It would be a mistake to engage with a silent movie without the non-diegetic score unless you are a battle-hardened viewer of the medium. Originally he had hoped to co-direct the picture with his mentor Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle, after remaining a loyal friend to the man in the aftermath of a scandal that ruined his reputation, but once issues arose during filming Keaton wisely protected his art tactfully without severing his relationship with Arbuckle. Keaton’s other great love is his desire to become a detective, and in the first shot he is seen devouring a book outlining the key criteria as to how one can become a great detective (and he is wearing a fake moustache ti indirectly preempt Crane’s first sighting). Murray states how the gags are based on ‘Keaton moving on the same plane as the other characters’ like a primitive computer game where two-dimensional characters could only move along the horizontal axis from the left or right side. © Letterboxd Limited. Buster Keaton filmed this shot in ‘Sherlock Jr.’ (1924) in reverse, with the train backing away from the road crossing (The accomplice walking away afterwards—with no cut that I could discern in this instance—is the sticking point.) Army of Shadows. The film's most famous trick shot involves Keaton jumping into a small suitcase and disappearing. However he is still an outsider and is not fully integrated within the cinematic world depicted, as evidenced by an amusing montage of the hapless projectionist struggling to parse the aesthetic and dissolve fully into the film’s language to essay the role of a great detective. Keaton is a lot shorter than the imposingly long-legged Crane, and although neither man has much money the slickness of Crane’s hair and attire implies a sense that he is willing to deceive an appearance of wealth.

The blistering imagination of the movie/dream is not forgotten by an underwhelming tacked on conclusion to wrap up the story. 461 films watched. The sight gag is double-layered, for it suggests how Buster is somewhat chaste in his relations with women and also comments on the censorship of cinema and how this prevents Keaton the filmmaker from allowing his acting proxy to imitate the final step. In terms of just plain awe, I'd say cinema peaked here, ludicrously early. ... Sherlock, Jr. (1924) Rotten Tomatoes® 94%.

Favorites: The Godfather (1972), The Godfather: Part II (1974), Joker (2019), Up (2009). So I had a bit of a crazy idea. Keaton stepping through what we'd naturally but falsely assumed to be a mirror, or opening what appears to be the door of a large safe and stepping out onto the street, the surreal nature of the gag delights. Keaton directed further reels and intended "Sherlock Jr." to be much longer than its final edited version, and he had full directorial autonomy to decide how best to shape his films as he did for all his art during the incredible output of the 1920s. In another bewilderingly elaborate vaudeville feat of trickery (not a cinematic ruse), he dives into Gillette’s outstretched arms through a tray and ostensibly seems to vanish into his partner’s stomach. I can only assume that Keaton filmed it like 200 times and finally got a take that was miraculously perfect. Letterboxd is a website for logging, discussing and rating films.

In other movies from the era there is a tendency for one character to avoid saying something important to another character that would nullify the entire narrative, but on this occasion the plot respects its character’s intelligence. One in particular, in which he produces a lot of spin on a ball over a short distance must have taken much practice and perseverance to get just right for the flawless character’s gimmick. not solving the case) and taking comfort in a wish fulfillment fantasy secured by a lucid experience, which ultimately has minimal positive energy for those not being part of the dream, and her steadfast problem-solving is a welcome addition. He risked his life for the house-falling stunt in "Steamboat Bill, Jr.," but he doesn’t ask us to be afraid for him or impressed by him.’ That particular Keaton moment is arguably his most iconic image in a reel of highlights, just as Lloyd’s desperate clinging to a clock tower in "Safety Last!" I recently expanded the list to 250. Letterboxd is a "social network for sharing your taste in film" and has been described like "good reads for movies". It is a film he simultaneously directed and gave a leading role performance, with all of the spectacular stunts executed by Keaton himself rather than a body double. ), however, it's not just that the 13 ball stays put. A popular social media platform for cinephiles is Letterboxd. Keaton was a veteran of the vaudeville life from a very young age, where I learn that his father threw him around from the age of three, and it was in these formative acts that Keaton understood how the live audience would be more inclined to laugh at his acrobatic and gymnastic endeavours when he finished with a neutral expression on his visage rather than smiling at the achievement. 91. One thing I readily applaud in this film is the proactive detective work done by the main female - she solves the real-life drama simply by asking the appropriate question to the one person who would definitively know the identity of the thief. This characteristic separates the Keaton and Crane characters. It is debatable whether the film represents the pinnacle of Keaton’s best work, as many would choose "The General" (1927) for highest elevation, but "Sherlock Jr." is the perfect entry-point into his filmography, and also a splendid starting title for a daunted virginal viewer to experience their first film without sound. Films include The General, Sherlock, Jr., and One Week. Watched The Ascent (1977) 97. One further acknowledgment as to how astutely practical Keaton’s thoughts on the nature of cinema’s illusions continue to be remarkably relevant. ), by coming across as more of a sizzle reel than a sustained comic narrative. ‘In Keaton’s world, nearly every problem can be solved through simple geometry,’ explains Murray. Film critic Noel Murray discusses this sequence in detail, positing the conceptual thought that the film is all about a geometrical rectangle (within the frame of the screen that is displaying the film). Instead of being chosen by film experts, the Letterboxd community voted on various movies to represent must sees and this was the result. Graham Williamson refers to it ‘as one of the first metafictional films,’ as Keaton’s dreamer pictures himself as a professional detective - the Sherlock Jr. of the title - giving him a second opportunity to solve a robbery case (once again the culprit is Crane, and the father’s hired servant is now an accomplice for good measure) and this time he is less likely to miserably fail at uncovering the true crook or be embarrassed as the pseudo-thief. Or rather, the best series of films I’ve ever seen. With Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton, Erwin Connelly. 64. Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. Jun Letterboxd's top 100 films list as of 1/30/2020. My arbitrary definition of a feature-length film—no less than 45 minutes—was derived specifically from Sherlock Jr.'s length, as noted in Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide; it's the shortest film I found listed there, so that's where I drew my line. Comedies, Dramas, action/adventure, mysteries, superheros; I watch all genres. This film is nearly 100 years old. Moments later a car appears from the right side of the frame and Keaton, as Murray notes, ‘suddenly takes off into the horizon, shrinking to a dot as he disappears into the distance.’ His escape rests upon exhibiting depth in the frame and creating a path beyond the perimeters of a two-dimensional rectangle. I finally admitted defeat and looked it up, but confess that I still have trouble mentally picturing what happens, even after reading a detailed description. We would expect commotion from spectators witnessing an individual dash down the aisle and jump over the piano, never mind penetrating the silver screen.
