A Trip to the Moon: Film History #1

[@AMatterofFilm]

What's your favorite film from the silent era?

[@crackheadcraftclub3545]

Nosferatu will always have a special place in my heart

[@leonidzagrov8129]

all of DW Griffith,FW Murnau,Abel Gance,Fritz Lang,Sergei Eisenstein,Dziga Vertov,Cecil B DeMille moves but if i had to pick one it would be Denis Kaufman( Dzinga Vertov) Man with a Movie Camera

[@ivanvoronov3871]

Metropolis, battleship potemkin

[@Aoiren]

Metropolis and Nosferatu are my favorite silent era movies.

[@jamesdudfield6149]

Chapin's 'The Kid'.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

*_The actual events about the moon landing happened 67 years after the movie was created. Imagine how the movie predicts the beginning of "space age"? Imagine how the actors of the movie saw the real events?_*

[@apollosaturn5]

One thing from the movie didn't change with the real lunar landings: The welcoming of the voyagers back to Earth.

[@raymondcabana1122]

I find it gratifying to view a positive commentary on a film made at the outset of cinema, whereas some online sites present instead unfair, pseudointellectual accusations of sundry prejudices, failing to acknowledge the fine art and special effects still impressive to this day. It's truly disappointing that somebody as gifted as Georges Melies would go unappreciated for decades. - Ray Cabana, Jr.

[@ulfger7669]

You reminded me of one of my favorite movies of all time, 'Hugo'. I remember watching it when I was younger and not really understanding but I remember that I loved it. I rewatched it the other day because of this video and I got a wave of nostalgia. Thank you.

[@cookiemonster6963]

It was the book for me.

[@marcoar1006]

you should read the book. it was amazing.

[@ulfger7669]

@@marcoar1006 Maybe I will

[@rubixfilms687]

First time I ever heard of this film was while visiting the Nasa space center museum In Houston TX. There was a little exhibit talking about the moon throughout history and a little clip of the infamous moon with a human face was shown. I'll never forget it.

[@BadKEMistry]

Damn, this actually brought a tear to my eye at the end. I was not expecting that.

[@insertnamehere8099]

This video is professional level It’s sad that channels like you don’t get noticed

[@AMatterofFilm]

Thank you man, hopefully we'll get more noticed someday.

[@milkeywilkie]

Just watched this film for my french class last week! I thought it was really very whimsical and magical.

[@thanosvevo2779]

Keep up the great work, man. I’m excited to see more of this series

[@AMatterofFilm]

Thanks so much, man. Can't wait to make more videos like this one :)

[@danielaltamirano9290]

It’s funny how this video is longer than the movie it is about. Great work, btw... I’m exited to learn more about film history 👌🏼

[@quietdemon8138]

It’s amazing that even though these movies are nearly 120 years old and yet they are still idolised and held in such high regard it’s stuff like this which should be respectably documented and exhibited

[@moneloxakshay1054]

The ending of the video where you show the evolution of the films is amazing

[@SiddhiJoshi]

The video of Tonight Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins is also a wonderful tribute to Méliès and this film!

[@BernardBertrand]

wow I love the tribute to Mélies you did here, and you made me laugh big time on this one 6:48 thanks again !

[@apollosaturn5]

That's why we have copyright laws today, because of pirates like Thomas Edison. Melies should have made a fortune with the royalties alone.

[@leonidzagrov8129]

a trip to the moon will all ways be the face of cinema

[@chucknight]

I have been searching through KZbin for videos in film history (a raucous Saturday night, I know) and yours is the first I genuinely enjoy and learned from. Thanks!! Hope to see more :-)

[@crooningcroc9791]

A splendid documentary, outstanding in every respect! Friends and I just this afternoon saw for the first time "Le Voyage Dans la Lune" at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and of course we were utterly enthralled. Then I found this superbly illuminating exposition only hours later on-line. Can't help wishing this could be played at the Museum too because, in its own way, it's as good as the film itself.

[@ryannhancock2333]

This was a great, well-informative and very nicely done video. I watched it as an assignment in my Humanities 1101 course. Thank you for sharing.

[@Sequaloid]

Low-key thought Leonardo DiCaprio was narrating this

[@hey-zel]

You really deserve more subscribers for your incredible videos

[@fazeowo8358]

I love the beginning music that plays in the first scene.

[@everyvillainislemons7583]

Underrated channel

[@Greenpoloboy3]

Great Masterpiece . Glad it was not lost to history

[@thespiritofstory8322]

I love these video you're doing, you're channel has inspired me to create my own with similar content, thank you!!

[@austinlauritzen8627]

Entertaining and educational

[@jackr4507]

I just discovered this channel and you’re amazing! Please start posting again before I get through your amazing back catalogue of videos.

[@MithriAK]

Wow, what a fantastic video. I feel so privileged to be even SUBSCRIBED to this channel!

[@AMatterofFilm]

Thank you very much! We look forward to making more videos like this one :)

[@MithriAK]

@@AMatterofFilm Thank you for your hard work! Please keep at it! Your videos always make my day! :D

[@troin3925]

Another significant inspiration for this film was H.G. Wells First Men In The Moon.

[@livannal.t.9068]

the image of the capsule on the moon is still recognizable and iconic to this day to me it makes sense to call it the first feature length film and first epic imho.

[@Mila-fj1fy]

Excellent little documentary! Thank you 🙏

[@Antonio-ex3st]

Fantastic video to cure my curiosity. Great video man! You're going places.

[@AMatterofFilm]

Oh! Thank you Antonio, glad you enjoy it!

[@andresmunar6635]

There are no KZbin channels like yours. I really congratulate you because of all your amazing videos. This one is one of the best. But it would be interesting to make a video about "The birth of a nation" which is considered by several as the first modern film. Hugs form Colombia.

[@AMatterofFilm]

Thank you very much, my brother. We will definitely make one on Birth of a Nation (possibly this year). Thanks again for the kind words!

[@Askurtz]

This is an amazing resource for my sci-fi classes. Thank you for creating!

[@AMatterofFilm]

What a cool class! You welcome!

[@clarissacota2047]

So excited for the next installments!

[@AMatterofFilm]

Coming soon!

[@loicheger4602]

Love it! Please continue with more History videos

[@paolagarciadelasierra4176]

This is pretty cool guys! Love the idea, keep on, i will be watching.

[@CSM100MK2]

fascinating video, very well done! thanks for the great upload, really good editing and script. You're 100x better than Nerdstalgic because you actually write a thesis and have something interesting to say. I wish your channel were bigger, you're really great.

[@jenn9911]

I love this film, is so amazing... i saw it a couple of years ago and was astonished by it... great work:)

Excellent Video!

[@salisburysteak_]

This movie kinda scared me a little, but now when I look at it now, it’s a masterpiece

[@Pioneers_Of_Cinema]

Well documented account of the amazing beginnings of the motion picture industry.

[@Smile4theKillCam456]

I will never understand how you only have 61K subs and 500 likes. Your channel is amazing, and deserves a LOT more viewers. The editing between Hugo and the actual film is flawless, and the 1812 Overture really adds to everything. It's fantastic work.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

I love Melies visual style of Art nouveau fantasy, I wish more filmmakers would go for that.

[@blueraccoon1088]

A dude from my last school I graduated once said "a performance is great as it's performers"

[@Alexj_movieguy]

An awesome video! Always an honor to learn new stuff about Melies 👍

[@falserizufferezek9394]

This was a great video! I would love to see more history of film videos.

[@RussianMusicCulture]

Well done. I recommend HUGO, a movie about Mellier as candy vendor in Paris and a boy discovering his secret.

[@KalteneckerProductions]

I got latched on to your intriguing channel through your full metal jacket: the duality of man. And I love your content.

[@monarch9125]

In the worlds of bulkowski drinking is like being reborn its pretty awesome you should give it a try i like to drink alot i feel the hangover is refreshing

[@Anthony-lq1ny]

what is the film shown with melies in the video, pls need urgently for my french exam

[@rickewilde]

Considering how long this was before the actual trip to the moon by NASA. It's amazing how similar some of the details were.

[@jessejive117]

Yea. Just like how both the moon landing and this film are fictional.

[@connor2094]

Great video. I just got the moon tattoed on my arm, so happy to learn more about it :))

[@AMatterofFilm]

Awesome! Thanks for watching, we invite you to check out more of our content! 💓

[@botanicalspotlight]

What's the movie at 0:40? I remember that scene in a movie

[@Retro_Husky]

Hugo is the movie that this scene is used.

[@mikewhite8663]

I’ve always looked at this as a horror film more then sifi it has a lot of horror to it but also works as a sifi as well

[@styleissubstance]

Good work.

[@bertinasalcedoramos8302]

THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR DETAILED WORK! I'M SUSCRIBING!!!!

[@Flox39875]

This shots came from the movie Hugo!😱

[@louwburger3701]

I was so excited for this series when I found this video, why did you stop uploading?

[@komi-origami]

I lived 7 years in Montreuil (city where Méliès had his studios, and where a cinema has his name with a big moon in the hall)… And I’m sad to say that most of the children / teen / adults don’t know anything about this cinematographer and how important Méliès was for the entire cinema industry.

[@brandonnaylor2735]

My favorite movie

[@AMatterofFilm]

So beautiful! Thanks for watching, :)

[@dougiedoug1]

how would describe the composition of melies shots?

[@madraven07]

In French, the final consonant is generally silent so “Meliés" is pronounced “Melié".

[@malthuswasright]

Really nice work. Not sure you need more training on voiceover! But good to hear the channel is developing.

[@The_Darn_Cat]

This was an awesome video, thanks for the facts and insight... I need sleep. [Solo]

Hey, does anyone know the soundtrack name used on A trip to the Moon?( The one in this video too), I've been trying to find it for quite a while now.

[@AMatterofFilm]

1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. Enjoy!

I like that this film was all based around the movie "Hugo".
