A Trip to the Moon, a silent film in
1902 about a group of people traveling to the moon using a spaceship
that was blasted to the moon by a cannon. When I watched it, at first
I was like “huh? What's happening?” Then as the story goes on I
understood the connection of the title and the film. The film
conveyed the writer's curiosity about the moon. He wanted to travel
to the moon to know what it is like and/or what is in there.
The film is very entertaining for me as
a 21st century student, it was humorous and the characters
were like crazy people. But for someone living in the 1900s, it's a
show that awakened people's curiosity and mind. It became people's
inspiration to go and explore the moon which already happened in 1969
with Neil Armstrong and the Apollo11. The film, A Trip to the Moon,
is a way to open people's minds to new ideas and imaginations which
were thought to be impossible but then achievable.
