The first film ever "Exiting the Factory" (1895)

[CoachG1000]

That's me at 0:35...gotta keep them bitches in line don't care what year it is!

[kailuagirl87]

Ahh where did we go wrong?

[SoapWalrus]

It's good, but it's no "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat".

[CDEeeek]

Roundhay is the first film. Muybridge is also considered by some to be basically the inventor of "moving pictures". This one is neat though.

[RCStrasbourg82]

i´m very disappointed...i cant find this vid in HD

[reballuk]

isnt the train scene the first ever?

[LynxCoding]

0:29 That's me on my bike. :D

[DVDluvr123]

This movie was actually the first-ever sequel. The original movie was called “Entering the Factory”.

[leianog]

Isn't The First Film Ever the 'Roundhay Garden Scene'?

[makesomenoise90]

@leianog yep you are correct! Listed in the Guinees Book of Records as the earliest surviving motion picture.

[alessya87]

The best part is when they are exiting the factory.

[MrJ0mmy]

this dose not look as bad as i thought it would

[VampSlayer13]

Although the joking comments about "waiting" for the blu-ray actually made me chuckle, I wouldn't rule out the possibility if it happened as a compilation of other Melies films. The Birth of a Nation made in 1915 just recieved a Blu-Ray release. I'm sure some people will want to continue preserving the important/influential early films releasing them with every new format.

[mariajacorreia]

@VampSlayer13 This is not a Melies film, but the first one ever shown by the Lumiére brothers!

[VampSlayer13]

@mariajacorreia Oops! My bad, I didn't notice I put Melies, I was writing an essay on Melies when I commented on this so it must have been the name on my mind. Don't worry I didn't include this as one of his films in my essay haha.

[mariajacorreia]

@VampSlayer13 ...good for you!

[esubadog]

I didn't know they had 360p in 1895

[klaudyuxxx]

no 720p and no sound :(

[2Exotic2Fly2High]

ill watch it when it comes out on bluray

[CanadaCob]

this is not the first film ever

[savvakissss]

I can't here any sound on this video! :(

[conceptonefilm]

I thought "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" was the first film.

[ultravioletgaia]

cant wait for the Blue-ray

[CanadaCob]

@ultravioletgaia 116 years...its about bloody time..lol

[xKikooo]

@xKikooo 

[spoonlamp]

While this may not have been the first peice of footage ever commited to film, it may well be considered the first piece to captured with the express intention of showing it, of projecting it, of sharing it.

[Mitchell00]

Can't wait for the remake.

[DVDluvr123]

This is definitely not the first film ever. There are actually quite a few surviving movies from before 1895. The oldest one is from 1887.

[TheReddevil0121]

@DVDluvr123 1875 actully

[JacobTMcgarry]

@DVDluvr123 Aren't these done with a kinetographe, not a cinematographe?

[DVDluvr123]

@JacobTMcgarry I didn't say anything about what method what used to produce this movie. You are trying to disprove a claim that was never made. Apparently, you are either hallucinating or replying to the wrong comment.

[osti405]

Thumbs up if u want to watch this video in 1080p

[reedrichard100]

Is that a Person Maker?

[perfectpl4y]

To win the game, who can identify all the cyclists?

[jman6866]

i wanna watch this in HD 

[zZZzzzSnooze2nd]

No unrated version of the Exiting the Factory?

[betopelotaz1]

yeah is pretty ty

[TheNichoBK]

BUT WHY ARE THEY EXITING? WHYYYY?

[b1locat]

I always wondered how it all begans..

[DarkAssasin497]

Well....It's better than Snakes on a Plane

[miko131293]

lol look at that guy spanking with newspaper :D

[Diskobanger]

lol the best rated comments on old movies always make me laugh

[sauroid1]

I think Muybridge made some films during the 1880s, something to do with Leland Standford and a bet whether a running horse's hooves left the ground all at the same time. And then there were his naughty films of women dusting in the nude, etc.

[agovics1]

1896 - Victor Emanuel III of Italy marries the Montenegrin Princess Elena Petrovich-Njegosh.... Nicest movie of 19th century :D

[JeanEtchepare]

Did anybody mention the good old days?

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

The depressing part is they all went back the next day.

[LPFigure09]

thumbs up if you are watching this in 1898

[JaCk123tOiBiN]

looks great on my flatscreen

[TheAllSeeingPi]

'Horse In Motion,' was the first moving picture, as it was several pictures spliced together! 'Roundhay Garden,' is the first actual film, made a year later!!

[MichaelKelly05]

SuperNasuli is right. "The Horse in Motion" is the first film ever.

[SuperNasuli]

First movie ever made was actually "The Horse in Motion" in 1878. "Rounday Garden Scene" was made 10 years later.

[TheRockinvinny]

Wrong Film scientist Vincenzo Ruello has discovered an photographic image of Jesus Christ 3 days before the Shroud of Turin see main clip in channel First Photograph Ever Taken Historical Discovery

[iancarmstrong]

This is called a factory. People used to make things in them. They had something we used to call a "job".

[JotaLegendOfficial]

Holy Crap! this is very well colorgraded!

[heat15sw]

this isnt the first film, not really the first is a man riding a horde if i remember right

[ThatsARandomNameLOL]

noo im not watching this in 2011 im still living in 1895 :P STUPID COMMENTS

[FriedEggsWithChips]

I was born in 1995. I was born a 130 years too late! Films were sooo much better in those days. None of that CGI crap. :'(

[spreadeagle311]

OMG these ladies were so HOTT back then...

[Nodog438]

@JabberCT No lie, I really did that.

[Gatuno2007]

thumbs up if you're watching this in 2011.

[thepriestfilms]

@Gatuno2007 How DARE you write this HERE! :) hahaha

[Gatuno2007]

@thepriestfilms y not?



[thepriestfilms]

@Gatuno2007 Because you can see the same sentence in JB videos! :^)

[TheKassicRock]

Such a great story line

[JabberCT]

I stopped half way and will watch the rest tomorrow. I hope i remember where i left off.

[Takwolf]

man, ALOT of women worked at this place

[zipsrule]

@Takwolf I am going to make take a guess and say this was a textile plant of some sort.

[americanhersheybar]

People dressed so lovely :) Who would've thought they would end up on a website called YouTube..

[pmeister94]

this has better frame-rates than crysis 2 on a console...

[xZippy38]

I wanted to see what I looked like on camera. I'm a bit disappointed.

[korvettemaster]

what is that man doing at :37

[will1477]

@korvettemaster Hitting the dog you see leaving to the right, just before the man on the bicycle.

[Nodog438]

Sorry about that, Continued from last spot: (Believe it or not, it's not Steamboat Willie) was The Jazz Singer(1927) pub

[Nodog438]

The first film had some scenes, like people boxing. The first talking cartoon(Believe it or not, it's not

[HuggableSpongebob]

It is not the first but I still have my compliments! This film shows amazing footage of random people of the mid 1890's walking into a factory. I am not sure if it is for work or for a tour. But still, BRAVO!

[Herbsandspices100]

I wonder if these people knew they were being filmed?

It's werid this was taken 100 years before I was born

[JoSeVeNJo]

@Herbsandspices100 I dont know too. We could almost say that the first ''wave'' ever in the cinema was the realism then...

[narfanoid]

Don't you love how people make comments on the fact that it was just about some people leaving the factory? Apparently, it's not enough to have recorded motion in 1895, they need to have a story and special effects as well. What a bunch.

[WinstonSmith6079]

@narfanoid Yeah, they're pretty very dense--they don't know or understand much about technology. I mean how bad are they right here now with what we have now, when they really belong in the Stone Age. Well, pretty awfully bad and dumb, that's how bad.

Such people we are referring to don't belong near any technology of any level of sophistication, and most especially near the Inet, or even near a computer, for that matter! Their thick-headedness makes me fucking ill! hehehe

[Tinsnake]

I bet some of these people were still alive in my dads life time!

[jojopuppyfish]

And one year later, the first porno was made called "Entering the Back door"

[paulmccartney619]

Loved the twist at the end with the horses

[MeAsISeeIt]

@paulmccartney619 LOL! XD



[muneetalks]

The best part is when they're exiting the factory.

[iTwixful]

@muneetalks LMFAO

[CplBry]

@muneetalks Sorry I didn't catch that part.

[ESponge2000]

Having this captured on film gives a testament to the time period that the human condition then would or would not be paralleled when future generations look back on that segment of motion picture.

The lesson to be learned from the film is that freedom and recess from manual work is a human instinct then as it is now.

[ESponge2000]

What you see here is the happy retreat of hardworking people and their faces when commenced from their hard manual labor, keeping in mind when this was filmed the Union plight for better working conditions was not yet history. You can imagine the mood, the restlessness exiting the factory, much like when pupils in school are rowdy at the end of a school day.

[ESponge2000]

I am disappointed with some of these posters and think there is far more than meets the eye here.

Unlike movies we see today, this was more a moving art painting or that was the intended idea. When you look at a painting in the Metropolitan and see the costumes and expressions of people, where their eyes are staring, what the tone and setting appears to be, you look on it with awe.

[NFL9475]

This is 1st movie. Before that, some works has been done with chronophotography (since 1878). 1888 Edison work is only a (late) chronophotography work.

[Dirtfire]

:06 "uh oh, Dog! Quick, let's go this way instead!"

Wonder if they were able to stay cool in clothes like that.

[bphatboyjohn123]

@DivaZtator considering if it was the first ever film, im pretty sure everyone in the world would, never before seen motion picture, this would blow their mind, lol. technology man

[scagish]

@DivaZtator watch your languaje kiddo, in that moment this was incredible. All things for first time are great.

[busterblue16]

Idiot..This is not the first film ever..The first film ever was made in 1888 and lasts like 9 seconds

[BondoFox]

@busterblue16 Correct.  It's a film of a man (Thomas Edison?) sneezing.

[laura20022004]

i like the part where everyone was exciting the factory! its so cool

[XtrmMcjohnson]

When is this releasing on Blu-Ray?

[LeDZeP616]

first film ever made is the roundhay garden scene.

[HunterDThompson]

I always thought the first film ever was the horse on a race track?

On a bet from two rich guys about whether or not all the horses hooves ever go off the ground.

[MatthewandMario]

@HunterDThompson that was tecnically not the first beacause it was just a punch of pictures spinning on a disc

[thefume]

those are some hot mamas!

[Paganel75]

Exiting the factory at NOON ??? Just look at the shadows ! Lucky people at this time, indeed :-(

[jordantiste]

Reality TV, already.

[TramularConductus]

I've seen footage from 1888... How is this the oldest then when there is footage that predates this by almost 10 years?

Interesting to watch at least, not many woman would wear that in a factory today.

[LynxCoding]

0:17 that's me there on the left entering the factory.

[Parody42]

Not first ever, Roundhay Garden Scene predates it by 7 years. It's shorter, only 12 frames, but still older.

[JeffIrok]

Those chicks are hot

[BrownMaterial]

Is there a remake? :)

[emopopo]

Wish I could experience how life was back then. :)

[QasimAnwar135]

scary thing is all the people seen there are dead now...

[williamomahoney]

see the guy at 36 secs spanking the girl ?

[2indulgent]

Just think, there's not a single person in this film that is still alive.

[Josh44Tube]

@californiadajatt It was filmed in France, not America

[Bille994]

The world was so different just 100 or so years ago. It makes me wonder what it'll be like in 100 years time...

[SmilingProtoss]

@Bille994 Lasers, Robots, spaceships, necromorphs, an awesome Congress than in our time, a demonic invasion of Mars, Borg, Zerg, The Covenant, Ringworld Halo, yeah, it will be different.

[ruizj2006]

thats a hell of alot of people

[FreeBlago1]

"I once dated a broad so old, they didn't have history class when she went to school"

[tomsgreenery]

disliking this video is sacrilege..

[jbcometoindia]

We learnt about the history of film in class today n this movie was one of the recommendations...awesome! :)

[SRNF]

How many people work there....god damn. And whats with the women? Its like a 10/1 women to men ratio. Maybe they wouldn't have to hire so many people if they just stuck with guys....

Just kidding feminists chill yourself :P lol

[stupidnicks]

there are 3 versions

[charlesumesi]

This is not the oldest film ever made. The oldest surviving motion picture is in fact, the "Roundhay Garden Scene" by Louis Le Prince in 1888. It was filmed in Yorkshire, England.

[heb1114]

@charlesumesi By a Frenchman, I might add.

[therealsinterklaas]

what happened to the prequal? 'Entering the Factory''?

[m173627]

@therealsinterklaas

They made a sequel called Back to the Factory

[iTwixful]

@therealsinterklaas LMFAO

[MeinBeatzProduction]

No sound? :S

[puppyloveforu]

How are we supposed to know who the actors/actresses are, and who the extras are???

[kellyrphillips]

What was that guy hitting those people for? weird.



[TakitchiQ]

Is it wrong that this video gave me a boner?

[TheAxe120]

Where's the sequel?

[gussy1d5]

awww so sad all those people r dead now

[snapegus]

I think the two guys entering the factory definatly open the door for a sequel..

[julesreverie]

Wow, where are all these child laborers I read about? This was way over decade before child labor laws were enforced.

These women are too well dressed to be factory workers or to be from a poor household that took the last resort of allowing their women to work(back then families would rather sell all their luxuries than have their wives work) What are Victorian middle class women doing working at a factory? It doesn't make sense.

[TheWhistler3]

I remember an elderly lady being on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. As a child she had lived across the street from the Thomas Edison lab. She said the kids use to sneak over there. One time he came out and asked them to run around while he held a box in his hands up to his eye. She had a most interesting life and knew all kinds of people that gained importance.

[gavionutz]

this movie beats Avatar!

[Soymilllk]

I liked the twist at the end with the horses

[oculto1234567]

0:35... did you saw that guy slapping the other woman? xD

[DarkAssassin2259]

Very interesting...

[ryanmshepard92]

What are they doing out of the kitchen?

[chancedennis100]

the first movie ever was the roundhay garden scene

[BottomBoosh]

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST EVER FILM

[dehydification]

@BottomBoosh well what's the first one ?

[BottomBoosh]

@dehydification The Horse 1878

[heb1114]

@BottomBoosh You are right; a more accurate description would be "the first publicly produced & distributed film."

[andrismacs]

@BottomBoosh If so.. which one is the first film? because I know for a fact this is the first film ever shown in cinemas

[SoleCitizen33]

@andrismacs dunno, but i do know that birth of a nation was the first full feature film ever made.

[andrismacs]

@SoleCitizen33 Well, I suppose, you couldnt call this a movie.. so yea the title of this should be.. First motion picture ever shown in cinema.. and you are right about the birth of nation.

[iamSketchH]

@BottomBoosh Hmm... My professor told me this was the first film ever made, but I did some research. For those of you having a heart attack, this IS and yet IS NOT the first film ever made. "Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory" is technically the 2nd "film," BUT it is the first to be presented to a paying audience to introduce the concept of moving pictures instead of still ones, thus it is accredited as being one of the most important films in cinema history. Source: FILM SCHOOL & IMBD

[scagish]

@BottomBoosh no, but this is the first film ever in history of cinema.

[krazyable]

@BottomBoosh

which are??

[TickBoomz]

@krazyable Search "Fred Ott's Sneeze".

It's the best seven seconds of your life. In stunning Monochrome.

[BottomBoosh]

@krazyable The Horse One

[krazyable]

@BottomBoosh

Grax!!! :D

[ItIsRainingBlood]

hi don't mean to brag, but this isn't the first movie ever, the first movie ever made is

"Roundhay Garden Scene" made in 1888 :)

[MrEdLoop]

@ItIsRainingBlood Hi don't mean to brag, but that isn't the first movie ever either, the first movie ever made is a very short film of a horse running made in 1878 to settle a bet about whether or not all four of a horse's feet leaving the ground while it's running.

It was captured by Eadweard J. Muybridge, you can look it up.

[Satituite]

@ItIsRainingBlood Wasn't that a scene and not a movie? correct me if im wrong.

[Postbus22]

HD xD

[stanny111]

that annoying moment when no body trips.

[Fiiskejoe]

an the oscar goes to.....

[ZzRvXzZ]

Better than twilight

[laura20022004]

My favorite part where the bike came out. I hope this comes out in dvd soon XD

[KARFan]

Tha'ts NOT the first movie ever made!The first one was made in 1888 ,and it's called Roundhay Garden Scene.It was 2 seconds long,but still...

[pheemer]

Never thought that witnessing the most important document in the history of cinema would result in three great belly laughs ("LOL" to you youngsters!): The first two comments and "23 dislikes"!!! (Only 23?!!)

[xylfox]

@pheemer I cant imagine and love to know what the arguments for 23 dislike= 5% of the poll is.Ignorance and idioty probably.

[themegagamesgamer]

What a revolution

[royalsteven]

I see only women and one doggy leaving the factory. Must have either been a condom or a sausage factory -__-

[undisputed4life]

I liked the book it's based on better. 

[418sadeyes]

Please don't tell me this is the Triangle Shirt Factory......
