Good idea lost in the noise

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Louis Aimé Le Prince introduces us the very first film in history (at least according to the books). What we see are just some people jogging around in a garden for a couple of seconds...And a couple of seconds were enough to make history. To inspire a young and humble future filmmaker, whose work inspired another, and another, and so on. To create a new form of art.More than the recorded pictures, this work must be appreciated by its importance for the new art that was born, and more than 125 years later became one of the most powerful vehicles to transmit messages, ideas and feelings.A landmark!

This two seconds of film is thought to be the very first motion picture, using Louis Le Prince's single-lens camera and Eastman's paper film. It features the earliest born (but not the oldest) person ever to be in a film, Sarah Robinson Whitley, who was born in 1816. She was also the first person featured in a motion picture to die, as she did so just ten days after this film was made on October 24, 1888. She was Louis Le Prince's mother-in-law.Then there is the mystery surrounding Louis Le Prince's death/disappearance. He disappeared from a train in 1890, planning to make a trip to the United States to demonstrate his techniques. His body and luggage were never found, and legends surrounding his disappearance include the theory that Edison had him killed so that he could take credit for inventing the motion picture. A huge court battle ensued in the United States over that title and the right to collect royalties, first won by Edison against the Le Prince family, but then that court decision was overturned.There was actually a book written on the subject of the disappearance of Le Prince and how the pioneers of cinema were involved in all kinds of backstabbing - "The Missing Reel". I recommend it as not the best book ever written, but about the only work in writing on the subject.

This Film Without Doubt Is Probably One Of The Most Historical Films Ever Made Purely On The Grounds That It Is The Oldest Film Ever Made. The Simple Fact That Its 2 Seconds Long Makes It One Of The Most Watchable Movies Ever Made, If You Hate It Its All Over In A Second. I Am Also A Fan Of LePrince's Other Film Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge However I Don't Like His Accordion Player Film Because Of Its Poor Picture Quality (It Looks As If Someone Had Put Sandpaper Over The Lense Whereas This Film Had A Much Clearer Picture Quality). Some People Talk About What The Movie Would've Been Like If It Was Longer But In My Opinion 2 Seconds Is Enough On The Grounds Of The History (Whatever You Do Don't Blink In This Movie Otherwise You'll Miss The Whole Thing).PS I Haven't Talked About The Quality Because As I Emphasised Its Just 2 Seconds Long.

I gave this a rating of ten because you have to appreciate history don't you?Sure they made the whole thing in one day, but the people back then would probably never know how big just filming that little piece would be to future generations of movie making.Someone had finally figured out how to make the picture move like a flip book.It was sad that some of the actors died shortly after this was filmed, but it just makes it spookier so more people would watch. 10/10 Cool movie, even though not a lot of people are used to it.
