imagine going to the moon and not using the zero gravity to do crazy backflips. shit film. totally inaccurate.
Uma ficção científica... em 1902! Georges Méliès foi um pioneiro no uso de efeitos especiais no cinema.
(taken from my film journal) Journey to the Moon really was just such a classic film that even in today’s day and age is enjoyable for literally anyone to watch! It makes me think about the things that film was and is right now. Though from the movie, I truly admire the way they made a connection with the audience using things like practical effects and live orchestra! It feels very uhh theater! Which is something I like since I would consider myself a theater kid hehe. Anyway, I enjoyed the film and would honestly recommend it to anyone who has a passion for these type of things.
1902-la idha paathirundha enna feel pannirupen nu yosikka mudiyala. No dialogue just visuals and music and somehow they made a whole journey to the moon feel this magical. The transitions the sets the drawings the practical effects and that rocket hitting the moon’s eye… literally made me sit there and think how da they even imagined this. The craziest part is they had never been to the moon. There were no real space photographs no CGI no modern technology. Just imagination books theatre magic and cinema.
We may laugh at how "primative" this is now, but this man has more imagination and creativity than every living human combined
