[@eponymousviewer8497]

The first western movie. What a classic.

[@themanwithnoname5833]

The first western movie is Kidnapping by Indian .

[@MuraturaOfficial]

The first blockbuster*

[@zakiowais6829]

first heist film too

[@A_youtube_channel_]

except in this one took place the events portrayed were probably still happening in real life

its ass

[@Bobalicious]

It's an amazing early film. Thank you for sharing it.

The passenger who ran and was shot was Max Aaronson of Little Rock, Arkansas. He appears briefly again doing a jig at the square dance wearing a derby. He went on in films (this was his debut I believe) to create the 'Broncho Billy' series of western films to follow in the early to mid teens. I believe he was the first cowboy 'star' and set the tone for the successful genre to follow.

The music was composed afterwards, even after 1910 I'd say. The first original soundtrack being composed in 1908.

Still a better love story than twilight

[@Unclebarry94]

People really still shitting on those movies? 🤣

[@WG-tt6hk]

1903 :The "Old West" was still alive in the more remote areas of Wyoming & Montana. Still living ,Native Americans who fought at the battle of the Little Bighorn & still living veterans of the Civil War. Butch & Sundance had only left for Bolivia 2 yrs earlier. So this is a very special film.

Here because of Goodfellas. Ever since I was a kid I was so confused about the end scene with Tommy shooting 🥴

[@Kristinkoppes686]

Ik same

[@smashboxer9987]

Same I still don't get what happened in those last few seconds

[@therealsirdj5934]

Now: I did not expect to see a dude having his skull bashed in with a stone (piece of coal?) in the first ever Western... It's so cool that we are able to see a movie from 121 years ago nowadays. The wonders of technology. Also: This was shot in 1903... The stuff portrayed in that movie was a reality not too long before then, in fact: Wyatt Earp was still fucking breathing when this movie premiered! Edwin S. Porter was 11 years old when Billy the Kid died and the gunfight at the O.K Corral happened... Mind blowing stuff if you think about it

[@MegaThucydides]

That's why the original Westerns are the most authentic (up to the 50s and 60s), as the writers, actors, and directors had access to the Wild West in their or their parents' lifetimes. Actors nowadays can't move or talk like people from 100 years ago

Интересный Фильм - Очень Понравился !!! Ограбление Поезда Средь Бела Дня !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Pioneers_Of_Cinema]

Just found your channel and look forward to exploring more. I just did a little extra restoration on this historic film with new music. Music makes all the difference. Films of the pre-soundtrack era always had music of some sort - from one piano to small ensembles to huge orchestras and the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ that could replicate an orchestra. They were never 'Silent'

[@charlottem5586]

Jon Savage mentions the film in Teenage : "In a sensational 1912 trial featuring a teenager accused of cold-bloodedly murdering his friend during a botched train robbery, Edwin Porter’s famous film The Great Train Robbery-then showing locally-was cited in a press report as the cause of the outrage: the tragedy was “an Exact Reproduction from Movies”."

[@josephwilkinson977]

I can't believe people saw everything in black and white back then. it's crazy how far we've come as a species. I can't imagine not being able to see in colour.

невероятно. битва на крыше поезда клише уже как сто лет

Don't know if anyone has noticed how the horse at 11:51 starts signalling danger!

[@martinep.3384]

0:09 See, Hollywood? This is how you use a prop gun.

[@jimjam51075]

I'm going to bet these actors checked their own piece. It takes about 1 second, but I guess Baldwin is a busy man. Ugh.

[@NDP1027Studios]

Is the music in the video an original piece made by the channel or is it based off of an existing piece of music?

[@mansonunu]

fascinante

[@Oli1974]

Even the grandchildren of the actors are dead already.

[@iconaus]

What you are they were; what they are you will be.

[@Pioneers_Of_Cinema]

@@iconaus That is a very profound reality of this existence.

[@jamesrodriguez8470]

[@Nerdynate253]

100 passengers vs 4 armed robbers. I'd take those odds.

[@youngsteph1]

Obviously this is a Western, & the first influential one, but for some strange reason IMDB don't list it as such, but Action/Adventure. Not disagreeing they cannot be that as well.

[@KikoFrugis68]

a narrativa desses filmes eram construídas através de imagens ou imagens são construídas através de Narrativas

[@iconaus]

on closer inspection this film is not very innovative directorically speaking, undoubtedly more modern than other American films, but cinema in Europe was far ahead. In any case, this film has a fundamental importance in the history of cinema

[@castercamber]

Double action revolver at the end, not an SA.

[@pharloom3296]

esta buena

[@chrisrydz8602]

um. actually this was made in 2017.. they just put fx and filters on it to make it vintage. how did they have access to editing filters to make it black and white back then? and phones werent inveted then so how did they even record it?

[@lilyastrauskas37]

This is so true, like how did they maked smoke without puff bars?? And how are there power lines? The government is lieing to us

[@iconaus]

I think you are wrong

[@denia3276]

so true bestie!!!

[@mrs.zoldyck1166]

They used magic lanterns...so as you can see, the movement is not smooth because I think it's a series of photographs in a strip.

[@mrs.zoldyck1166]

And you are asking for the colors? Well they are in black and white because at that time they can't produce colors. The first movies are black and white....the colored ones came in later as the technology was develop.

[@TheRomanianStream]

the real gang was still alive when this came out

[@thegame6141]

He shoot yo the camera like Sledge Hammer

[@iconaus]

Maybe is Sledge Hammer that shoot in the camera like him

[@petesakes1985]

The soundtrack is awful

[@RayPointerChannel]

I'm glad to know someone else noticed the poor use of music. It's too "midi" sounding. There are better computer music scoring programs that do a better job. But as far as actual musical composition, that is still based on the particular talent of the person creating the music. There is a fine art to adding music to films. It's a lot more than "filling air."

[@tyty334351]

It was made in 1903 so of course the music will sound awful. Give it a break. It tried for the first Film to tell a story.

[@ridetrackx]

@@tyty334351 apologies if you were joking, but it's not the original music, and it doesn't work well with the film. as far as music sounding bad because of 1903, we have classical master pieces of music composed 200 years before this film. age make no difference, knowing when and how to use music makes the difference.
