What a train :o

[Fabulositylost]

Ew

[ajosep12]

Blu ray version releasing this summer!

[lollol12ism]

like a bus

[Morthund]

I seem to remember hearing that they filmed this because as soon as they'd finished the camera mechanism they wondered what in the hell they were going to do with it now, so they immediatley rushed off to film the next "happening" in the area, the arrival of the train at the local station...

this film is now one of many You Tube flicks I watch as I guzzle beer...another random film...ah the irony

I Heard They Made This Into A Game Called Red Dead Redemption In 2010

to me Edison was the sole and exclusive inventor of motion pictures, and not the Lumier brothers who were only the first to project films to the public. all the technological production of movies was only possible due to Edison's brilliancy and talent (and invention of the 12 frames per second and later the 16 frames per second).

[Professor6871]

@adamdyerseve But the Lumiere Brothers succeeded in projecting their moving images unto screens so that entire audiences could see them. Where as with Edison's w

movie camera was house in a tarpaer-covered studio called The Black Maria in West Virgina. It certainly to big and cumbersome to move around. Where as with the Lumiere the camer it was so much smaller and lighter and could be taken anyway. It could explore the world that Edison's couldn't do.

[Professor6871]

@adamdyerseve What movie camera caught on immediately Edison's one or the Lumiere 's? It was the Lumiere Brother's and not Edison's that was adopted by the world. And so that's why the Lumiere Brother have to be the first ones and not Edison. In fact Edison made m,any claims over the years, for inventions he didn't even invent. Science Historians have even debated if he even he had been the first person to invent the incandesant light bulb in 1878?

[adamdyerseve]

the first movie (motion picture) ever shot was back in 1895 (not 1896).

[SoccerPlyr2002]

just a day ago i saw the movie hugo me and my family just thought that it was amazing that it explored the history of cinema and how it portrayed this amazing event in history....women actually fainted when they saw the train heading right for them. I wonder what, in our lives, will have the same amazing effect our generation as moving pictures did for our great, great, great grandparents.

hugo.... 

[emil909090]

Am I the only one who was pointing at the people in the film and thinking he is dead, she is dead, he is dead, she is dead......???

[MegaTrawets]

2 SECONDS DOESN'T QUALIFY AS A MOVIE... NEITHER SHOULD 30 SECONDS BUT YOU KNOW

[MeowyMorganstine]

The minute this ended I heard a train

[AudreyLudlow]

This is not actually the first film in history. There was one, even though it's just 2 seconds long, filmed in 1888 called Roundhay Garden Scene.

[Choekaas]

I've heard some rumours about a re-release with improved VFX. Originally, they wanted Jabba the Hutt at the station.

[MrBeautifulba1]

It's amazing to me that at about :15 the man who starts to run with the train has absolutely no idea about the fact that you are now aware of his short jog alongside that train. His short jog alongside that train has caused you to stop for a moment and ponder time and existence. Hundreds of years later you are now affected by that man's choice to jog alongside that train. Time travel is within the mind. We are affecting the future. Vote Peyote Party in 2012. Hootenanny Now. Yes, Shazam.

[happykiddo1234]

lol, the people that watched this film back then were screaming with terror!! Some even peeed there pants or fainted, technology is so strong now!

[GwanDaNiall]

If ppl ran out screaming from this, I can only imagine d amount of heart-attack deaths there wud've been if it showed in 3D!!! XD

[NotADood]

0:18-22 - EEK! That guy's coming right for me and is going to jump out of the screen at me!

[jayi4]

Thumbs up if you're still watching this in 1899!!!!

[NotADood]

[jayi4]

[khanzahrah1]

@jayi4 your not

[jayi4]

@khanzahrah1 how do you know? were you there?

[khanzahrah1]

@jayi4 i know because it shows when you posted the comment it said a few months ago

[jayi4]

[khanzahrah1]

@jayi4 How old are you then?

[Professor6871]

Apparently when they first showed this the audiance watching it thought the train was coming towards them.

[fullofuploads]

@Professor6871 i think you're right.

[BlueJayKing]

This is like looking into the past. Thanks for posting. :D

[nintendogmaster]

Did people really pay money to see THIS?

[scarface12347]

@nintendogmaster yes, because this type of imagery had never been seen before. Imagine being in a world without the telephone, like when this movie was filmed phones, i believe, had not been invented yet. Seeing something like that's revolutionary. I cant imagine people NOT paying to see this in 1896, it was at the time revolutionary.

[luke4428]

@scarface12347 Phones have been invented in the late 1870s.

[ttlms]

@scarface12347 While the world was definitely different in 1895, when this movie was first shown (not 1896), telephones had been around for some time, thought they weren't yet commonplace.

[Professor6871]

@scarface12347 Telephones had been invented in fact 20 years before in 1876 by a Scots men Alexander Graham Bell. The want as numerous as they arenow but they were there in 1896 just like the gramaphone at the electric light bulb were existence. But your right about the revolutionary impact moving pictures on human psyche.

[FriedEggsWithChips]

@nintendogmaster Better than bloody Avatar. I'd pay to see THIS in 3D!

[zorosaad]

you must be kiddin

[ricardcarbonell]

Well, this arrival of the train is in 1896... There is a mistake in the date.

[salvospil]
