           The Moon during the early 20th century

           ‘Trip to the Moon’, a French silent film accompanied only by music at the early 20^th century, 1902, is considered to be one of the top 100 best film of the century by The Village Voice. Portraying astronomers who made a journey to the moon through a cannon-propelled spaceship, there they encountered and met Moon’s inhabitants—the Selenites.

I was a lot entertained by the film, perhaps because it was about space travel and mainly because it was a comical one. I laughed too much while watching the characters conversing through actions as they didn’t speak, watching how the Selenites die, and the funny acts of the characters. It was indeed an amusing one.

If I enormously enjoyed the movie knowing that I was born almost a century after the film’s first screening how much more when I watched it first screened. I believe I should felicitate the creators of that movie for its wonderful work.

Knowing that during the time the film was created, people were much interested of knowing what in there in the moon, I think if I was in that time I would be one of those people that would be eager to watch that movie. Because of the very interesting and persuading set of the movie, probably I would be greatly convinced by the thought that there were inhabitants in the moon as what the movie trying to portray, if ever I was born during that age.

I found nothing unpleasant movie except for one, that confusing scene there. That was when the astronomers were sleeping after several time of wandering and then the night fall and the moon appeared. If you are keen on observing it, you would be asking yourself, ‘how come did the moon appeared if in the first place they were in the moon?’, if you know what I mean. But other than that ‘unintentional error’—I think—I find the movie a successful.
