A classic

“Since I really loved ‘The Kid Brother’, I was really eager to see this other classic starring Harold Lloyd. First of all, I was really surprised to discover that this movie was not included in some major movie lists such as ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ or ‘They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They?’ (Roger Ebert did include it in his ‘Great Movies’ list though). Indeed, it is rather weird since this movie does include arguably the most iconic scene displayed in a silent comedy which was obviously when Harold Lloyd was dangling from a clock on a top of a building. This scene was and still is the stuff of legends, even if it was debunked years later by a stuntman. Indeed, there were actually some security measures, for example, they used a fake building front filmed in ” read more

Movies the giraffe watched in 2021: April (36 movies items)

"First viewing - Apr. 4th Silent Sundays I've decided this month to devote time on each Sunday to a different silent film. I figured I'd watch the comedies on the Sundays my daughter is with me, and the other two when I'm on my own. Thus, we begin the month with Safety Last!, a film I've heard good things about. The kiddo didn't pay it much attention, but I had a really good time with it. There are some really funny set pieces and it's solidly entertaining. I generally tend to struggle at times "

“Harold Lloyd's building climbing stunt is one of the most awe-inspiring spectacles I've ever seen in a movie, done with a dogged dexterity and lovable”
