Safety Last! (1923)
6/10
Not the best, but not terrible!
12 September 2020
Safety Last was definitely a movie I was excited for. After watching, I am happy to report I was GLAD I watched it. Was it a phenomenal movie? No. Was it a good movie? Absolutely. I had a few chuckles here and there and I can see why Lloyd is known as one of the best. He is pretty distant behind Chaplin, in my opinion, but I can see the hype around him. I thought the plot was OK, but at times I felt a little bored. This paid of in the end when watching the famous clock scene. This scene was incredible and way, WAY ahead of its time. The acting was fine and the score behind it wasn't the worst either. I wouldn't say this is an all time great movie, but I will say the clock scene is iconic. I would recommend watching it just for that scene. I was happy at the end and can see why it is beloved by so many.
