Leaving on a Capsule

                The film Trip to the Moon is a silent film aired on 1902 in France. It is about scientists who planned to have a trip to the moon using a capsule. They eventually got on the moon. While they were wandering around, they saw some aliens and fought them. After some time, they decided to go back to earth. And the people welcomed them like heroes.

                If I were to watch this film on its first screening, I would first feel curious on how they would re-enact the whole thing. I must say that it is really not believable watching it in the year 2014, but it would give a slight idea to the people in the past on how trips to the moon are basically made. The background music and the comedic acting of the artists helped to not make the film boring.

                It is certainly safe to say that techniques on creating movies have leveled up in the most imaginable way. Comparing the means and ideas before on what we are having right now makes me appreciate more our technology today.
