If I were present during the showing of the film, I'd find the film amusing. The thought of sending someone to the moon might have been a ridiculous idea at that time. The film though depicts that it is indeed possible to get to the moon. I might have been thrilled about the possibility of going to the moon at that time and maybe just couldn't wait to get there. This was an age where science was still continually growing and still had a lot of unknowns compared to now. What we don't know usually frightens us but the film gave hope that anything is possible if we work to it.
Though the film showed some unusual things we could find in the moon like space mushrooms and aliens, it just shows how much learning we still had to do. Like I said above, we are still learning about the world around us and at that time, the moon was something we never thought of reaching. It was merely a dream of many. It's interesting though to see what the earlier people thought we'd experience in the moon. It's like the notion where we thought that the moon was made of cheese. Silly but the film though was made to entertain and entertain it did.
Overall I think the film did a great job of inspiring so many people. It showed that dreams can turn into a reality if we set our minds on to it. It also showed the huge potential of films. Being not born at the time the film was shown, I cannot fully express how the film impacted the world. The only way I can express it is that the film was shown on the year 1902. 66 years later, Neil Armstrong became the first man in the moon. Just goes to show that anything is possible.
