A Trip to the Moon 1902 Review
Overall: 5/5 – Fly me to the moon …
https://sometimesigetbored.co.uk/a-trip-to-the-moon-1902-review/
I just watched the restored, colourised version of A Trip to the Moon (1902) and the documentary about its history and restoration (An Extraordinary Voyage 2011)
I left some thoughts on the film on Letterbxd but overall, I enjoyed it for the quirky and satirical film that it is

I never get sick of seeing that part when the fishtank is filmed to show the rocket hitting the water

Some of Georges Méliès’s sketches for “A Trip to the Moon”/“Le Voyage dans la Lune”

The color in “A Trip to the Moon” was hand painted onto the film at Élizabeth and Berthe Thuillier’s coloring lab in Paris when it was originally released. About 4-5% of Méliès’ films are estimated to have been colored this way

It never fails to amaze me that this French magician was able to turn his ideas into all of these fantastic worlds

First up is our first ever repeat BUT it’s a classic for a reason: George Méliès’s “Le Voyage dans la Lune” (1902) (https://youtu.be/zCMl11KAP40?si=xy3fvf4L3KdfnjTV)

I still enjoy this 1902 movie, despite the lack of soundtrack.
I'd UL directly, but at 66.odd M, it's too big. So, a direct link will have to do.

Film scholars think Georges Méliès was influenced by Jacques Offenbach's opera-féerie "Le voyage dans la lune," which was an unauthorized parody of Jules Verne's work. Here is a stereoscope card showing an image from it. #TCMParty #ATripToTheMoon #GeorgesMelies #JacquesOffenbach

A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès (1902)
🔗 https://Wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trip_to_the_Moon
"…the #film follows a group of #astronomers who travel to the #Moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the Moon's surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants) & return to #Earth with a captive Selenite. Méliès leads an ensemble cast of #French theatrical performers as the main character Professor Barbenfouillis…"

#GeorgesMelies #ATripToTheMoon #Time & #Timelessness
Just watching the #Assembled making of's and other behind the scenes (#BTS) shows about #BlackPanther or #WakandaForever is more than enough evidence to prove that these films are art and true cinema, every bit as much as #ATripToTheMoon, #KingKong, #JasonAndTheArgonauts, #2001, and #StarWars, as examples.
#CGI is part of #cinematic art, no less than #animation, #colorization, #celluloid, #color, or #sound.
And #visual #spectacle in service of a good #story is its core.
No face on the moon in this film either! It's like none of the sci-fi directors in tonight's features ever heard of the work of astronomer Georges Méliès!

Not knocking Kubrick’s design team, they were definitely doing their best, but they forgot to put the face on the moon in a lot of these shots ...
