Mankind has always loved to dream of conquering the unknown spaces of space, which with each new exploration revealed more and more of its secrets. For many centuries, people of art put forward the most incredible theories about traveling to other planets, while people of science sought to invent machines that could fulfill this dream. In the middle of the last century, we managed to recover in space and this achievement was a triumph of world scale. And already today, after so many years, it is very difficult to imagine that there was a time when the Moon seemed so far away, unexplored and fraught with many dangers.
One of the first cinematographers, Georges Melies, created an incredible motion picture for his time. Inspired by the novels of the great visionaries of Jules Verne and HG Wells, he took a short story about the first man’s journey to the moon. The plot shows us the heroism of a few brave scholars who made the brave decision to go where no one had been to them before. But on the moon they face many dangers, only having coped with which they will be able to return.
Each actor who participated in the creation of this film, played a great role. Their characters were very funny, direct and alive. Such an at first glance, the story is very well complemented by the acting, which makes each scene dynamic, vibrant and fun, without distracting from the main storyline.
The scale of the film is amazing, because at that time various short films were shot, but it was in this director that they managed to combine an unusual plot, and his unobtrusive narration, and impressive special effects for that time. Georges Méliès was able to fully fulfill the dream of all mankind at least on the screen, showing how it could be. Also impressive is his limitless fantasy, which created the moon, resembling a living creature, alien selenites, and a very original way of traveling across the expanses of space. One feels that the film was created with great enthusiasm and faith in the possibilities of cinema. Therefore, many thanks to its creators (everyone, including those who appeared for a second in the frame or sewed at least one suit) for creating a new genre in the cinema, which even now helps mankind to continue to dream about something amazing and unusual.
A magical acquaintance with the origins of the implementation on the screens of human fantasies.
