The best movie I've ever watched. It is wonderful with its plot, subject, humor, acting, everything. perhaps the most confusing Buster Keaton movie. you can feel how delicately this masterpiece has been thought through. Our hero works as a mechanic in the movie theater but his dream is to become a detective. He wants to marry the girl he loves, but has no money to buy a decent ring. We have another bad guy who is in love with (or seems to like) this girl. As a result of this man's cock, the girl's father kicks our hero out of the house. Our hero is hopeless now and detective becomes his biggest dream.
With this film, we have unmasked the comedy in the silent film or the slapstick comedy: creating gags and dispersing them into a frame story to form a whole, as imperceptibly as possible. At this point, Keaton plays games that will cheer up the audience of the 20s, who have not realized what is going on or have not seen all the tricks yet, because they are under the influence of the successive gags. for the sake of creating a spirit in the film, does not have any effect, as it does not enter the hearts of the audience. If we compare with chaplin as it is tradition, let's say keaton is idea but chaplin is style.

Buster Keaton, the director of the American silent comedy film, said, “Don't think that I can do two things at the same time and do both justice.” While entertaining people by telling the story of a mechanic trying to learn how to be a detective by reading the proverb, on the other hand, he also proves this old proverb, which he took as a source, with the success he achieved by both directing and acting in the movie. The film, which was accepted to be "culturally, historically and aesthetically important" and selected for preservation in the US National Film Archive by the Library of Congress in 1991, was evaluated by the American Film Institute in 2000 and entered the list of the funniest films of all time at the 62nd place. Buster Keaton's skillful use of illusions and fantasy and many cinematic tricks in the film had a great influence on it finding its place among the best comedy films in the history of cinema.

With his transitions between reality and fantasy, his idiosyncratic gags, chases and action sequences far ahead of his time, we have a filmmaker's dream of becoming a detective with a very humorous and genius skill: Buster Keaton. One of the greatest comedians of the silent cinema era. He is a person who can make his audience laugh without laughing with his strict, dull and mechanical expression on his face, and punches you in the seat you are sitting in with what he tried at that time in action scenes. If there is a movie where the excitement does not stop for a moment for 45 minutes, it is Sherlock Jr.
It's all about how natural sitcoms are going to be funny. The rigidity that the naturalness of the events coming from a funny reason preserves on the face of the protagonist of the event; its combination with a dull, mechanical expression takes the humor to the next level. At this point, when the repetitive situations/events and surprising coincidences, which are indispensable for silent cinema comedies, are added, a movie like Keaton's Sherlock Jr. emerges. Sherlock Jr. In addition to its comedy structure, it is a great work with the cinema-dream identity and the frame images it uses to reinforce this identity. Considering that people watch themselves in their dreams and this view is as if they are watching someone else, we can see cinema and dreams as soul mates of each other. The one who makes this definition on the big screen is Sherlock Jr. himself. Sherlock Jr. It is an unforgettable movie with its techniques, humor dosage and success in action scenes.
When Keaton is mentioned, it is inevitable that he is constantly compared to Chaplin. However, Bernardo Bertolucci put this into dialogues so cleverly in The Dreamers that reliving it is nothing but being ridiculous.
