Awesome: A Trip to the Moon Reaction Paper

     A Trip to the Moon was a blast! Considering the limited technologies these days (in 1902, precisely), the movie’s effects are awesome. It also shows the wide imagination of the creators having adapted the movie from the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Although if I will be viewing from the perspective of the 20^th century, this movie is somewhat of a cartoon kind, that kind that’s too corny. The background music also is not that good, but in 1902, it is a creative way and also a very hard way to do it. This is because the orchestra should keep track of what’s happening in the movie and then they will play an appropriate music effect. That’s a very hard way to keep a movie lively.

    The movies and movie effects we are enjoying nowadays evolved from being corny-black and white ones to high-tech ones we dearly love today. A love of art and appreciation should always be in place when viewing movies especially the old ones since appreciation was the very thing that inspired the creators to make the movies we are familiar with in the present.
