Analysis Of Sherlock Jr.

Sherlock Jr. by Buster Keaton to my surprise proved to be quite comical. This was the first silent film that I have watched and enjoyed if you don't count "Tom and Jerry". I was intrigued and fascinated by how the story was portrayed without the use of words. Since the film was made in 1924 it appealed to the audience of that time and showed how a man was trying to get the attention and adoration of a woman. I am curious to how long it took to create a film almost a century ago due to the fact that it can take weeks and even months with todays technology depending on the films size. The background really helped personify the story and keep my interest. The jumping from the real world to his perceptive reality was realism and anti-realism.
