A Trip to the Moon

I deem the first audience of A Trip to the Moon very fortunate. The film had a creative and interesting take on science, considering the amount of knowledge in celestial bodies people had at that time. The plot was well laid out; the story was, in its time, really one of a kind. Its originality was impressive despite it being inspired from earlier novels and films. Moreover, the director did an excellent job with practically everything.   

The curiosity of the director about what really exists on the moon is objectified by the film. It catered to the interest of the mass who regarded the realm outside our own with much awe. A reflection of how people treated the unknown, it amuses as much as it informs. It shows how the first scientists performed their jobs- burning with passion and desire to expand knowledge. Early people’s fascination for the unknown, specifically the moon, might have been intensified; their imagination grew wilder as they witnessed the vastness of what has yet to be discovered.  It made sense altogether, which is why it is considered one of the greatest films of all time.
