Woman in the Moon (1929) Part 2 - The Landing

[@scurran007]

No Atmosphere....yet he is lighting matches!!! THis is great!

[@freednb]

I like the bubbling pools. Excellent old effects!

[@shellroom]

You've missed the boat, procommenter. No educated person doubts that the moon landings really happened. Meanwhile, thanks very much to KKD1247 for making such a wonderful classic so easily available.

the countdown to start the rocket is the first time in the our cinema history

[@InuitAldebaran]

GOLD GOLD GOLD

[@only257]

imaginative scifi film!

[@KKD1247]

Yup! Its only +107F during the day and a slightly chilly -153F at night!

[@chialeux514]

" Well, they're gone. ( longish pause ) So, baby, wanna fool around ? " " Oh no. Someone might see us ! "

[@danielcampbell6564]

Cliff Campbell here, great movie! This is one way to get people thinking about going to the moon? As we know there is ice at the poles and many metals from Meteor impact simulation's. Some could have Uranium or Gold. Not all meteors are from a star? When a star blows off the plants that are in orbit going around that star blow outward too, as broken matter. Also when Meteor's hit they form gas pockets in the Moon's regolith, who knows what could under it's ground?

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Absolutely sucks! How could he even have it impact the surface at a speed like that and not have it be obliterated! I'd say this was far beyond Lang's abilities to comprehend.

About the gravity... In part one we see straps hanging from the ceiling. In sequences we don't see in part one or two they are weightless on the way to the moon and use the straps to move around.

[@shellroom]

I can't decide which I prefer - this, or A Trip To The Moon. I like the way both begin with a scientist being laughed at, and that both feature exotic landscapes but cannot quite bring themselves to accept that they are hostile environments. The sheer daftness of Trip is very entertaining, especially their means of getting home, but I admire Woman for at least trying to speculate about what the moon might be like.

[@scurran007]

I love the speed at which they hit the moon..they would have been obliterated! ("Full Breaking power!"..guess it did not work.) (I am not even going to comment on the gravity in the spaceship...ooops, just did!)

[@Bestmanme08]

Great new book (Did these stories really happen?) at amazon has great section on Fritz Lang and his movies!

[@BIG_AL_ONE]

Originally, this was a 115min movie. O_0 Where's the full version???

[@RobertsonMilkshakes]

Solid gold planet where everyone can breath and be fit 😢 okay

[@KKD1247]

Uhhh...that would be correct. It's like a title card that fills in the missing gaps. :-)

[@uselessDM]

A thing that jumps to my eyes is the height of the rocket, I mean when you think of the little thing that they used for the real lunar flight and this thing is huge like a skyscraper. And the Space suits remind me of Bioshock ;)

[@KKD1247]

Tell me!! And the launch was equally quick! Pffft..and they were gone!

[@RAFFIZUMZ]

if the rocket was accelarating the whole way it would have a gravity like effect but then agian as soon as they slowed down the opisite would happen

[@ckikilwai]

Is it possible that the part where Mannfeldt fells into a crevasse, where Turners tries to hijack the rocket and where Helius and Windegger draw straws to see who must stay are missing?

[@BlackJack-di7ym]

adam and eve of the moon.

In this movie there is oxigen at the moon but the Fritz's plan was more love story than science film, sorry my english I cna't write very well, but I'm Trying it, Muchas Gracias!!!

[@mirkwoodone2302]

KZbin was alive in 2007 :) LOL

[@AlongtheFarClimbDown843]

Space beyond the magnetosphere is even less hospitable to organisms. Interplanetary voyages remain as fantasies until the problem of cosmic radiation is seriously addressed.

[@RobertsonMilkshakes]

You see the moon is normal and green 4:00 so in essence this is a particular one a metaphor

[@hotello2009]

the landing seems to be rude, but at least shows the dust arising from the touchdown. This seemed not to happen during the "true" landing of Apollo 11, when the legs of the LEM where perfectly cleaned, without signs of moon dust and sand...

[@MalReynolds02]

@Clubbild "yeah baby" you can bet on it. lol ;o)

[@RobertsonMilkshakes]

How is the dramatic appeal .the story is it

[@tyrssen1]

Rather accurately prophetic, in some ways -- even if the English captioner didn't know the difference between "break" and "brake." No sound coming thru, but that's okay.

[@wolfshanze5980]

Still a better love story than Twilight...

[@candr]

Well they say there isn't much gold (and if it were, it would cost more to mine and transport then it would be worth) but you suppose to have the mother lode of helium-3 there that might be worth a trip.

[@CaptainNomura]

Of course if the moon really did have gold, we'd have a colony by now, trying to have the moonmen sign a treaty with us then kick them out. Great classic film though.

[@insanejugglette]

lol,this is great

[@klyanadkmorr]

Heehee, Einstein on the Moon breathing OXYGEN! The search for water! LOLMAO

[@nimos1]

Cardigans instead of spacesuits! Bunk beds instead of pilot's seats! Hilarious! It's hard to believe that only 40 years after this film was made that Man actually landed on the moon.

[@TheTonyTamer]

Where is the Music ? I just saw a clip of the Lauching on the Arts Showcase on TV and it had music. I am otherwise grateful for this posting. Lots of foreshadowing of Hitler's Germany- in the hand gestures of the prof. speaking at the lectern and the looks of the astronaut in military tpye clothes. And I've just seen the 1st one- and now for the 2nd

[@RobertsonMilkshakes]

Even the b. Like el Dorado bm you see the lost city if gold mythology

[@AlongtheFarClimbDown843]

Ships that realistically address the deadly effects of cosmic radiation will have to be built before man journeys beyond Earth's magnetosphere.

[@RobertsonMilkshakes]

Its not the conquest of the Moon ...see

[@fuzter2007]

...this film explain why women wasn`t selected on Apollo project.....

[@uru86]

That landing should have pulverized them lol

[@iamkool12342]

now what is the point of that. the moon doesnt need cleaning.

[@AlongtheFarClimbDown843]

I urge you to secure an education.
