Question

After watching the George Méliès' film, A Trip to the Moon (1902) think about the differences and similarities between how you believed someone would have processed that movie then emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually (among numerous ways) and how you processed the last “big event” or blockbuster movie you saw. Tell us what you think is different and similar.

Going beyond the entertainment value of a non-documentary movie, what other value do you get out of seeing the movie?

Answer 1

The movie then would have perceived with a lot of awe and an appreciation for the intellectuality, to be able to put a short story, the first of its kind, as a movie.

There was awe from my side too, although the difference being that there was a deeper understanding of the working of the movie.

A recent blockbuster I experienced was baby driver, which was something that took me for a wild ride प्लॉट wise as well as cinematography and direction wise, which was quite different from how I perceived a trip to the moon.

The value of seeing a movie is beyond entertainment and goes to the extent of a knowledgeable walk. It is as though, watching a book being played out. It teaches a few lessons and is important to give out messages through its creative channels thst help push masses.
