This 1902 film adaptation of Verne's science fiction novel of the same name is only 14 minutes long. In our opinion, who have already landed on the moon today, the filming is simple and the plot is absurd and boring, but it is also the real first science fiction film. . Their charm is definitely not the so-called plot, technology, but the beginning of imagination. It is the appearance of these great works that makes us realize that movies can be made like this, and our imagination has no limit.
Movies can be said to be the continuation of our dreams, and sci-fi movies are the ultimate in movies. Their charm lies in showing our infinite exploration of the future and the infinite possibilities of the unknown. Human imagination is limitless, and the realization of these wonderful imaginations in movies is even more wonderful in that someday in the future, those scenes that once only appeared on the screen may be realized in reality. For example, the imagination of landing on the moon in this "Journey to the Moon", which was realized decades later, although there are no strange creatures on the moon, isn't it also a wonderful prophecy?
Compared with us 100 years ago, there are better shooting techniques and better movies, but great works will not lose their meaning due to the passage of time. Just like the 3D technology we are proud of now, it may be in 100 years. Years later, when people watch Avatar again. It's the same mentality as we are watching this "Journey to the Moon" now, and they may not be able to understand the excitement of our first 3D movie, but they all left their footprints in the long river of film history, and they are not brave without them There will be no more excellent works in the future.
I hope that before appreciating this movie, you can learn more about the history of early movies and the story of the great film pioneer George Méliès. Of course, as mentioned at the beginning, the "Hugo" movie is a good choice. After all, the more you know about the film, the better you can appreciate the charm of the film itself.
