Trip to the Moon Reaction Paper

Corpuz, Raiza M. 

If I were present during the first screening of Trip to the Moon, I would think that it is a nontrivial experience considering that at that time, films aren't commonly produced and viewed to the public as it is now. Also, if I were around the first screening of the film, I would be impressed by the quality of the video and its ability to tell a story obviously because there aren't that many films that time and the quality of the past and present films are completely different. For that time, a film like that is more than okay. Actually even at present, the said film has bagged several awards. If it has amused people today, what more during its first screening?

Moreover, considering that this film was released around the year 1902 and that it was 67 years later that man finally set foot on the moon, my vision of the moon would most likely be like the one portrayed at the film. We know that films greatly influence the mindset of people especially about something they don’t know. Also, maybe after watching this during the 1900s, I might actually be inspired to go to the moon and discover what it looks like.
