This film really surprised me since I'm not big fan of silent movies. Harold Lloyd did an awesome job with this character and played the role perfectly. His facial expressions and body language made it easier to understand how he was feeling since there was no talking. The only thing i didn't like about the movie was that it was a little slow in the beginning.

Although usually I'm not a fan of silent films, I found Girl Shy to be funny and a good romance story. Even though the beginning started out a little slow, by the end I couldn't stop watching! A classic everyone should watch in my opinion.

This movie was absolutely amazing for a silent film. At first I didn't encourage his book because it almost degraded women for loving men who don't treat them right. I enjoyed how after he'd actually been with a woman his whole perspective changed. I thought the film was well in order and I had my eyes on each scene the entire time. Although, it felt dragged out when he was trying to make it to the ceremony on time. He must have drove every vehicle there was in that time period. The ending was beautiful and well worth the long chase. The lighting was well done and for such an ancient movie the chases done in the vehicles were well put together and smooth. Overall this movie was a delight to watch, it was humerus, and it was cute.

Many black and white silent movies have gone by the way side. As far as appreciation goes in this day and age they deserve a whole lot more than we give them credit for. Mostly because these movies require a lot more effort into consideration of the plot and witty humor. They are so simple at their core though... like this movie for example is so beautifully done because its so innocent. No pretentious special effects or made up stars just a pure scene unedited and raw, giving it a lot of organic texture and feel. The scene where Harold Meadows is writing his book and begins his flashback with the "vampire" woman is absolutely adorable, such delicate lighthearted humor is a breath of fresh air in an entertainment industry beginning to rely on shock value, ratings and financial success. Harold Lloyd is an underrated silent film actor for sure, silent movies would not be complete without the star to make them even more endearing than before and Lloyd certainly articulates his charming warmth and melodramatic expressions to an audience young and old in a way that we can all understand how the character is feeling.
