Trip to the moon Rxn Paper

Considering the time the original Black and white film was made, I would find it interesting, however, have a hard time distinguishing the objects involved. Since what I have watched is the restored and colored version, the lines make the objects distinguishable and easier to understand what it is. For example, the capsule may not seem or look like a capsule on the original film at first glance. Also, when the men were killing the living things on the moon, one wouldn't understand at first what was happening when the thing suddenly becomes a gas cloud. But with color, it is easily understandable. It was quite difficult to understand without any words also. But the music matches well with the scene that it drives and helps the viewers to see the setting on hand. Content wise, it was very creative, even if it is purely fictional. It makes the viewers think, what if there is really life outside earth? Their idea of the moon is much different from our idea of the moon in these days. This shows how creative one's mind gets. Since this film was produced long before man has stepped on the moon, it clearly states how much knowledge and information science and the society has gained through the years. It may seem ridiculous at first. But take for example the super high powered cannon they used to go to the moon. It was perhaps, their interpretation or a basic idea of a rocket ship.

The clip, overall, was very interesting to watch. It goes to show that even small ideas can be put into reality.
