This was a quirk early silent short film that had me laughing all the way through. it was very clever with a great story that was told in an interesting way where a group of men travel to the moon in a capsule that is shot from a giant cannon. The men are then captured by "moon men", escape, and return to earth. This film was made by master artist and film pioneer Georges Melies and it is no wonder as to why it is considered to be a classic by many. Anyone studying the arts, TV or animation should see this!!!Great Train Robbery (1903)
I have to say i did not enjoy this short film at all. the acting was terrible and the plot was hopeless - not much more i can say about it. But to be fair from a historical perspective, it's good example of the use of film editing as it wasn't common to tell multiple stories simultaneously which this film manages to do.
