Living on a century after this film was first aired or
screened makes everything seem so different. My judgments towards the film may
be based on what my standards are when I watch a film of the same genre
nowadays, or maybe I will expect to how good the movie is because I have
already the knowledge how to consider a film quite good or entertaining. And I
must say that this movie is quite entertaining yet it leaves a question on the
viewer’s mind like “how will that work?” or “how was that supposed to be”. Also
considering that it is a black and white and silent film, everything seems to
be so fascinating.
But if I were living in that time, I would be really
fascinated to how everything works, on how everything really looked so good.
Considering that the people on those times haven’t encountered the technology
we do have today, and considering that the people on that part of the 20th
century, relayed everything on the “fun” the movie can bring, it just makes it
so unbelievably good. Also, it would make me feel curious on how possible
everything was, like right now, we are so curious about other life forms in
other planets, we are fascinated by the beauty our own moon has. Why it shines
in the night like that. Or how it illuminates a dark portion of our Earth.
Seeing and watching a film like this, makes me really think,
that if only the people in that time had the knowledge about our technology in
the present, it would've been a bigger shot way back then. And I do also think
that this film did contribute to what technology we have today. It affected
other people’s vision towards the many possibilities of everything outside our
Earth. Truly, this film greatly affected its viewers’ minds and hearts.
