A Trip to the Moon


This video was very shocking to me, it was very ahead of its time....at that time. The way that the backdrops were transitioned and things were dissolved into the scene was impressive to me. While the physics and concept of the moon was very different at this time period it was cool to see a film with extraterrestrial life on the moon. These moon creatures reminded me of the aliens in the movie Signs how they were defeated so easily, in this case they were struck by an umbrella and went up in a poof of smoke. The characters that were brave enough to travel to the moon in the large bullet structure got a lot more than they bargained for, experiencing bizarre weather conditions and running into another form of life that did not want them to be there. It wouldn't be until 1969 when the first man walked on the moon, 67 years after this film was released; this is what opened up my eyes the most.
