Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (The Lumière Brothers, 1895)

[reidrules45]

All of these responses are rdiculous! Does no one besides me care that this is THE FIRST FILM EVER MADE??? You people should be ashamed! You're taking modern technology for granted, and not caring that this one simple film lead to transformers and all your other stupid movies!

[connor1020]

@reidrules45 its not the first film ever made. that title can not be credited to any single film due to the fact of how many came out around the same time. the lumière brothers were able to produce the first "projected films" but thats not the first film ever made....

[YThorr]

This is my favourite movie.

[dissentrix]

The first horror movie...

[sherrieandmike]

I preferred the book......

[CuteCrafts4You]

OMG I LOVE THE PART WHEN THE TRAIN CAME

[pedigreevsrko1]

Martin Scorsese brought me here

[danthake]

George Lucas should convert this to 3D and add some marketable kid's character to it

[mm091540]

it's good, but it needs some shia lebouff

[RkivUnderground]

30 people got hit by that train.

[123Lacorocks]

I screamed and ran out of my house as the train came

[sasparilly]

AH! It's coming towards me!!!!

[freakahurt]

can they colorize this?

[harpo103]

When this was first shown in theatres, people screamed and ducked cuz they thought that the train would hit them!

[blumbino]

The bigger budget Hollywood remake will be out in the Summer of 2012...

[CharlieDontSurfFilms]

I ran away from my laptop. Ya know, for authenticity's sake.

[algocrash]

No HD available?

[ish701]

Scared me half to death, :O.

[yousaywhatwhatwhat]

I knew about this before the Hugo movie came out...because I read the book for school.

[drtolga]

Hugo.

[sweetsonia99]

Hugo brought me here

[SandwichMan239]

IT CAME.

[hlashflahflhsjfh]

AHHHH A TRAIN COMING TOWARDS US AHHHHHH



[DrUltraimagination]

When will this be on DVD/Blu-Ray?

[Kizzyisgod]

I looked this up because I saw the amazing film Hugo!

[MisterMcMaestro]

Absolutely Riveting! Roger Ebert gives it 2 thumbs up!

[SlapstickCoyote]

Thumbs up if Hugo brought you here.

[everlybearkiedis]

Well my dear friends, when people first saw this film they got so damn frightened they ran away from the theater. Yes indeed, the first horror film :D

[TheSkilledApollo]

Is this a trailer, when is it in cinemas? Im so excited!

[kreie33]

i love this movie. when people first watched this movie they ran out of the way of the train because they thought it was real.

[frankiegfunk]

funny, i wonder how many people are looking this up after watching Hugo and btw, that was a very good movie.

[MoneySageJones]

the audience screamed and fainted when the train came. pretty funny. i learned that in "the Invention of Hugo Cabret"

[fonviell]

Still has better characters than a James Cameron movie.

[DerukuAnjiru]

Ahhhh!!!! I thought the train was coming towards me.

[SchweinungHD]

I liked the part when the train came.

[firestar911]

@SchweinungHD yeah, but the best part was when the train came, hands down

[randombee99]

@SchweinungHD i actually preferred when they got off

[megadoetzi]

@SchweinungHD Best comment i have ever seen! :)

[iLepantoeHD]

HERREN SÅ Æ I NORSK TIMEN

[AxeManAnthony]

116 years and counting!

[esthirteen]

people freaked out cuz they never saw a moving pic and thought the train would hit them! LOL

[mryeti94]

@esthirteen o hi evan

[boro4ever8]

sort of depressing that all these people are now dead... love to put a downer on things :p

[JessikahAznBabyy]

@boro4ever8 fuck you faggot

[louisaparker1]

Well, there are at least 2 films on Youtube that both claim to be the real Arrival of the Train. I think the homuserrantis comment above might be correct and this here is not the right film.

[mov88]

@louisaparker1 - There were already several competing filmmakers/studios in the US and Europe in the 1890s, and they would often remake each others works. Because of that, there exist several different versions of very similar subject matter/similar imagery made by different filmmakers. Regardless of whether this is the original or one of the "remakes," this version was almost certainly made in the 1890s.

[rocket88421]

the first people wattching this screamed and fainted because they thought the train waold hit them. that is how new this was.(true story)

[MrRuffun]

The first horror movie

[UnwieldyFrench]

"Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (born 28 August 1842, vanished 16 September 1890) was an inventor who is considered by a lot of film historians[1] as the true father of motion pictures,[2] who shot the first moving pictures on paper film using a single lens camera.

A Frenchman who also worked in the United Kingdom and the United States, Le Prince conducted his ground-breaking work in 1888 in the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, UK."

[CBE80]

i get it. thats so f...... dangerous!

[WakeUpRory]

I saw this movie before it went mainstream.

[MaikUniversum]

music is stupid. Wasn't there Lady Gaga at that time?

[manwithouthat44]

@MaikUniversum youre joking right ?

[nuttankup]

- -* สวดยอด the first movie

[ODBastard05dag]

Bitches ain't Shit!

[ElTuco84]

00:18 First gay in film history?

[ElTuco84]

Looks dated, this movie needs a remake.

[asnabelgur]

The only original movie ever made.All the other ones are rip-offs.

[mrmshow]

The Invention Of Hugo Cabret brought me here lol!

[TheBreakingma]

Apparently when the audience saw this they screamed and some fainted because they all thought the train was going out to hit them

[Bodogjoe]

Heard they were doing a remake of this. 4 billion dollar budget, with Peter Jackson Directing. Then after the remake, they are gonna do two sequels . Then a reboot directed by Micheal Bay. I love Hollywood these days!!

[erwinruys]

Wait until they see 2001 space odessy. What the hell was that about!!!

[0180917]

This gem of a film is just crying out for an IMAX 3-D release.

[B1SCOOP]

people had some badass mustaches back then

[Spitfirebird]

OH SHIT! GET OUT OF THE WAY! THE TRAIN IS COMING STRAIGHT FOR US!!

[adrianlindsaylohan]

This is fascinating ! 126 years old ! I love seeing how everybody was, how they dressed, how things worked ...... And I wasn't expecting them to look just like people today - quiet, tired, ordinary, insignificant ......

[QasimAnwar135]

@adrianlindsaylohan its not 126 years old its about 115 years old

[ElleEstVivante]

AH MERRDDEEEE!!!!

[chocchipcookiegirl]

AAAAAH!!! Scary stuff xD

[umailvikrant]

how can we listen to the sound, when it was the silent film era and so one could only see film sound was introduced later. how come this video has sound too.... please answer

[24YOBAW]

@umailvikrant It was added later on...

[TheMrYASHIN]

а русских сдесь нет? вот презентацию делал про кино, и нигде не могу скачать этот ролик(

[MrNicolasz]

the most effectual horror of the cinema history

[LaurelVentura]

Soon after this, men would discover there were more interesting things to film than trains...

[julzinka]

@LaurelVentura yeah ... pornos :)

[Clay3613]

Absolutely riveting...

[benhalperin011793]

NOOOO STOOP THAT TRAIN!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

[BoJanglezzzzzz]

Well either you or my textbook is wrong, because the book says this was filmed in 1897. But no biggie, thanks for the upload :)

[Cheater349]

pause at 0:04 It's the first video-frame in WORLD))

[noalaiglesia]

Esta es la primera pelicula de terror de la historia. Las personas que la vieron por primera vez, huyeron despavoridas creyendo que el tren se dirigía hacia ellos. jajaja

[Violenteers]

25 people thought that the train was coming right at them.

[alexandraselkirk]

This isn't the original 1895 Lumière film. It's a fake. The station isn't the same, the passengers are different. In the original version, most passengers were women. Here, it's mostly men

[pokonewka]

In fact this one is the original one, and the one with women was a remake made in 1987.

[wootevah]

ITS COMING RIGHT AT ME!!!!

[NumberZeroZeroSix]

Quality was probably based on tactual lighting, the tempreture at exposer and processeing, how quick the film could be processed, the speed the hand cranked camera operator, quality control in the materials/ chemicals ordered and what was delivered, etc.

These factors probably explain why some film before World War I looks better than battle scenes during that war.

As motion photography, like all industries, expanded, general quality would decline as less competent people became involved.

[xkendylkaosx]

TIME magazine are fuck-tards and included this (and Bambi) on their Top 25 Horror Movies. I mean, don't get me wrong, I could imagine the reaction on the audience's faces in 1896, but really?

TIME magazine are also responsible for criticizing every horror film without an action sequence (such as The Vanishing, Village of the Damned, etc.), so there's not much to say for them.

[telltalemse]

so is this the film where everyone in the theatre ran out when they saw the train coming towards them?

[MrBlueRuin]

With everything being remade these days I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't remade this with Michael Bay directing & using a computer generated train.

[xkendylkaosx]

@MrBlueRuin Fucking hilarious.

[curiousnyc2001]

@ReVoluTion They have, and in 3D, go see HUGO. Seriously. Oh, and you were close, Scorsese did it.

[coolbut12]

IT'S COMING STRAIGHT TOWARDS US DUUUCCKKK!

[SystemXpander]

my great grandpa was in this video, hes the guy who was wearing the hat. he used to always brad that "I was in the first movie ever reorded!". although it wasnt the first, we never argued with him about it. we just let him basque in his 5 minutes of fame. by the time he got older he was shitting his pants a lot. every hanakuh he would light one of the candles on our menorah and have to shit right after. RIP gramps.

[luizcadu]

@SystemXpander Hey man everybody was wearing a hat! Could you be more specific?

[homuserrantis]

I doubt it is the original. Quality is too good for a movie from that time. The not so old silent movies I have seen had less frames per sec, less definition, less stability. It is more likely that this is a recent remake....

[raphaeldpm]

@homuserrantis it is the original. This movie is very well known, search around.

[bphutchins]

@homuserrantis you're an idiot

[NuclearPlanet]

@homuserrantis Well Ofcourse! Film is the Highest Quality there is, It's The Original. The Print of this version of the film is just a very bad one.

[mov88]

@homuserrantis - I don't know what "more recent" silent films you're referring to, but some films from this era, and from the next few decades, have absolutely fantastic prints. I recently went through a set of very early films (from the 1890s-1910s) and, while some of the prints looked very beat up, others looked pristine. In terms of clarity and smoothness of image, many look like they could have been made 20 years ago.

[vietbuhletz]

is this on Blu-ray yet ?

[Ech0ofNothing]

This is where it began, bee-yotch

[EpsilonTLOSdark4]

Oh my god there's a train coming out of my computer!

[pizall33]

who are the 24 people who disliked this

[iwantcoolname]

@pizall33 you have to admit the quality is crap, not bad for 1st try, but still crap

[Icarus01]

@iwantcoolname take in account that the film degraded over years, so we can assume it looked a bit better when it was originally screened. we should be glad that it survived in any form to our times (though i doubt this is the original recording, it's probably a copy of a copied copy). most of films from that era are lost forever.

[levanyzzuf]

0:27 - See that guy in front with the hat? He's dead.

[CroGamingMachine]

@levanyzzuf well , duuuuuh

[Huijari]

better than most of the Hollywood crap.

[LeCoz15]

Yeah it was like a horror movie ;)......Think about setting them in a 3D hahahaha, they would shit in thier pants:P

[Rosstacular]

just read that the people who first saw this film were terrified that it was going to hit them.

[levanyzzuf]

@Rosstacular That's mostly an urban legend, as recent film scholarship has discovered.

[ranyilliams]

@levanyzzuf that wasn't recently as early as five years after the making of arrival of the train, people were making movies mocking early cinema viewers fleeing the theatre. it was just funny to make jokes about it. much like today when people throw eggs at people who watch anything made by Michael bay...just saying :D

[TheBrdza]

@Rosstacular 3D was invented 116 years ago

[QasimAnwar135]

@Rosstacular same i read that too which is why i searched for it :-D

[Tiddlyhat]

@Rosstacular Geez. Imagine if they saw Transformers. :P

[ajericbenz]

@Tiddlyhat oye :D

[Tiddlyhat]

@ajericbenz Yo

[MrStroblitz]

Kill2Smile bu adamı sopayla dövmek lazım

[WinsChurchill]

I read in the German version of Wikipedia. And it told that the train really comes out of the screen on events like amusement parks. It is the first catastrophe film, in a way ;-)

[AxlMetal]

how many oscars did this win?

[sharks27]

did you know that this is regarded as the first horror movie? The people back then were so stupid they thought the train was actually coming at them. If they saw Avatar their fuckin' head would explode.

[AngelThanat0s]

@sharks27

NOWADAYS, stupid people think that Avatar is a good movie.

[srbinsiti]

I would do what ever to have that old camera.

[srbinsiti]

@AngelThanat0s i wish people continued to make movies by the old cameras.

[srbinsiti]

@sharks27 Well,it could happen to you if you lived at that time.

[BolnoyBratchny]

Terrible acting.

[Elnonopololo]

A 3D version of this was actually shot and shown in 1935 (!) at a meeting of the French Academy of Science, according to Wikipedia. It hasn´t survived, apparently. Anyone was any more info on this?

[CraigDeanDevine]

Why has this uploaded as 1:1:85? When that gate wasnt invented till 60's :/

[MrRabbitBlack]

where can i get 3D version?

[amdbck]

wait a fucking minute, the pictures are really moving!!

[bachuskz]

but this is the first movie of history and terminator is not

[ParaCriminal]

i think i saw the grandfather of chuck norris

[spirmessi]

if you like to see the history of movies watch * BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy

[baturbros]

HD version of this movie must be 0.360p maximum

[BlackandBlueMage]

I'M LOSING MA SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

[SolenmSerpent]

No doubt the movie 'The Exorcist", would have made them shit their knickers.

[imnevermakingavideo]

I was in this! I'm the guy with waistcoat, bowler hat, and goatee!

[junoreactor05]

@imnevermakingavideo ROFL

[mariomaniac123]

was the music added in or was it already in the film

[maxulic]

@mariomaniac123 At that time the music was played by someone in the movie theater :)

[kindboy1996]

They said when this film first released in theater, everyone in theater were intense and screaming and run away because they thought the real train was rushing through them. Because they never seen those before, they thought it was real

[jokingmilad]

Shot out to

whiskeyspray:P

Men the Music Is good

[whiskeyspray]

I wonder when they started making porn. probably right away.

[snailuv]

@whiskeyspray that's actually true. same thing happened with photography.

[Jellyfish60]

@Footbager

And that's funny :)

[Constantinofff]

Aah! He rushed at me!

[Billabongs122988]

There's a rumor that that kid was Hitler.

[sdjkgr]

they ran away because this movie was filmed in 3D.

[hestheman929]

Awesome.

[Schlomothebest]

that is WHY french motion pictures are so boring.

[mariamqwert]

Wow... & people fainting at the sight of this??

[Zen53GT]

Yeah, like the people who can't handle the IMAX experience. Something new, something different will get some fear.

[mariamqwert]

@CYMRUTUBE

LMFAO!

[WeegeeSteichen]

The only member of the audience who didn't flee in terror was a suicidal man who thought his troubles were over...and he didn't even have to get up!

[csaBika95]

cool film;)

[tooty321]

lol when people first saw this motion picture (i read this in the invention of hugo cabaret), they thought the train was gonna come out from the screen and run over them. then again, it was their first time seeing this. it would be cool if we could bring someone from the past and show them what we have this present day.

[Tammylita]

@tooty321 They'd probably go into shock. XD

[orangerange101010]

@tooty321 they would have a hemorrhage if they saw Avatar in 3d. can you imagine that?

[ColumineMiette]

@orangerange101010 they'd probably just assume it was magic.

[sensationmartin]

@orangerange101010 or transformers

[moviehypno23]

@tooty321 that's why it's sometimes considered the first ever horror film haha

[joutubesgmail]

Pictures that move? That's silly! Why would I want to look at a picture of a train when I can gosee a REAL train? Phooey I say, this will never catch on!

[BSNFabricating]

@joutubesgmail Absolutely! In a few years, say 1900, this fad of pictures that move will be long forgotten. And this nonsense I hear about machines that move without the power of a horse? Come on! Next thing they'll try to do is fly through the air like birds! What is the world coming to??

[ForzaJersey]

@BSNFabricating

Bully! I say that would certain be the day!

[MarkArandjus]

AHHHH!

OMG I thought it was going to hit me! D:

;)

[smoothandbold]

apparently the first audiences to see this, who had never seen a moving image before in their lives and had no previous personal or cultural experience to suggest what it might be like, reared back in their seats and screamed in terror when they saw this.

not confirmed, but an interesting story nonetheless...

[haallss]

yeah, I've heard the same story :)

[no1DdC]

They were without a doubt amazed, but you can clearly see the perspective of the camera, which is nowhere near the rails.

I think this is just a popular myth, maybe initiated by some sensation-seeking journalist at the time of the release of this movie.

[sakurasoh]

I'm surprise with the quality of this reel. Top class.. after more than 100 years

[ScarletMovie]

The plot could be slightly more challenging, if you ask me

[ICANanimations]

lol yeah like a thief escaping from the police
