u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy
its crazy how we can watch this more than a century later. now we have mind blowing high definition cameras and the fucking internet. imagine what the next century has in store. too bad ill be dead....ugh its so depressing! wish i was born in 2100 instead!
Probably? For sure! This was made in 1888, and in 1888 they weren't kids, they were just married adults. They're possibly 70 years dead now, maybe more.
This should be nominated for an Academy Award! The drama, the pacing, the editing and the soundtrack! Lets not forget the excellent lighting and sound design.
If anybody's about to make fun, just remember: this 2 seconds is the ancestor of your fucking trash Twilight/3D/War/Docu Movies. Which are probably inbred...
People can laugh all they like at this. Doesn't change the fact it's a piece of history, and the fact that most of the shit we have coming out today (particularly the music) is going to be forgotten. 2011 sucks.
@lordmahan11: First people on screen (maybe?) But acting has been around for aaaaaaaages upon ages, since organized society. And technically, the first film actors would be actual trained performers participating in a story told through film, so these folks wouldn't count.

I have the special Director's Cut DVD edition! It is digitally remastered and it comes with tons of extras like director's commentary, blooper reel and a whole extra second of footage not seen in the original. There is even a special documentary about the making of the film called "Behind the 'Scene'". In it shows the director telling the actors "hey...we are not taking a photograph, so don't just stand there...do something...anything!".
Yall should know this aint no action movie this is horror how can all these guys die at the end wtf? There aint no sequal to this ._. Scary history 1800-1920
@daveytjuuh It wasn't so much a video camera, if you poke a hole in the bottom and tape a thin piece of paper over it you can see shadows when holding it up to a light. Kinda dumb but it's considered a camera!
so that's where babies come from:)

As a matter of fact, they are all time travelers from the year 2454 AD.
They went back in time to eyewitness the first motion picture film.
Unfortunately they were accidently filmed in the historic film.
They can be shown quickly trying to get out of the camera but did not make it in time.
Thus changing history forever!
