A Trip to the Moon (Part 2)

[SoundOfWords]

Hugo cabret brought me here

[7mathu]

this movie look intrstng :)

[AlessandraW19]

I like the sound track! ( :

[anakinfan8]

Looks like the Moon from Majora's Mask had a father....

[zombies010]

my astronomy teacher sent me here

[Kentex4]

The shot of the cave right before they enter it makes me think of the new Alice and wonderland.

[lilN12]

bitch got piledrived into the ground

[91Eastby]

what is the shit that suddenly appears on the moons eye? is it the space ship?

[25framestomovie]

No one has done better than Melies !

[25framestomovie]

No one has done better than Melies

[Anthonyk312]

I reaaally want to go back in time and show Georges Melies a modern-day science fiction movie and see his reaction.

[Qetuos1979]

That man with a long white beard is the best action hero ever.

[nimthirielhime]

The moon should have got an oscar for best actor.

[mconesa52]

I like it for what it is; looks like a fairy tale, a creative piece of work, but not a real rendering of the novels written by Verne at all! They might have felt inspired by, but the outcome and final effects were far away from being genuine to a novel that after all was pretty much close to the first trip to the moon in 1969.

[RuckaAliReloaded]

wow and this was made 66 years before man stepped on the moon amazing

[1976Jillie]

i really liked it make more!

[LionHeartPortugues]

I don't get how that music fits in a 1902 film, but the result is so damn weird but fitting, really unexplainable amusing

[spriterox4eva]

The moon should have loads of bruises on it's face from all these people jumping around and doing backflips on it...

[kefke96bf2]

1:10 fire @the moon? xD

[drystyx]

That bearded scientist kicks ass. This was pretty cool.

[TheReaperx54]

Incredible for an 109 year old film

[TheJediCharles]

Impulsively, animated by traditionalism, I'd reject such electronic synth music applied to such an old movie. But, in this case, considering it's sci-fi nature it seems curiously fitting. And anyone inspired by Kraftwerk can't be wrong. :)

[cloudlestorm]

This is amazing, for about 100 years ago. Did any of you guys read the book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." ? If so, it's a wonderful book, a story you'll love, mostly about The guy who made this movie.

[giggslover789]

@cloudlestorm yes that book is brilliant!!! Never met (or even heard of) a persn who has read that book!!!

[ThePeaceableKingdom]

Very well done. The music works well with the video. One rolls back (more than a century) as if in a dream...

[madnes88]

Well.... They did predict that the returning trip from the moon ends up in ocean ;)

[MultiLpslover]

am i the only one who actually finds this entertaining?

[isaacthewarrior2]

@MultiLpslover no you aren't. anyone with good taste likes this movie.

[MultiLpslover]

@isaacthewarrior2 thank you. lol.

[baterbates111]

is this the original sound?

[101Volts]

I think I saw this movie a long time ago. But I thought there were cards in the version I saw, Like when they crashed into the moon there was a card that said "Ow!". Maybe I never saw that and I'm remembering wrong? I was like 5 years old or younger at the time.

[SuperKawaiiSushi]

I watched with video in my reading class cuz of this book called the invention of hugo cabret and it is a great book so far and we are still reading it. and my teacher showed this video to me and i was scared of the music cuz it was dark in the class room and now i love the song. its a very good book thank you for putting up the video! you did a good job! ^_^

[grandpuba0001]

So falling off a cliff on the moon with some dude dangling by some rope will get you back to earth. School didn't teach me shit

[johneamer]

The moon women are sort of hot looking.

[PrincessStingy]

this film was shown in my media class along with this soundtrack, and i have been trawling the internet for ages to find it because i absolutely love it! it's so fitting with the film!

[Djangolulu]

Oh, the music isn't old. I thought the 1900's were really that funky!

[CZARofLA]

umbrellas for rain on the moon... intresting

[ClassicMovieClub]

0.19 moon has a bad cold lol

great thanks!

[josuedcv]

Méilès was the first great filmmaker.

[tyger2011gotsupsend]

0:18 i was always trying to find this this is pretty scary

[Hz528]

Fantastic piece of history... thanks so much!

[Stealther719]

lol

[Liberaljamoke]

Great job.

Melies and his his contemporaries were much more creative because the art form was so new there was no standard practice. Most films today are trite and commonplace.

[2010mustang2]

First SciFi movie.

[rocknrollfanatic96]

play this with Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin it works very well.

[adrianlindsaylohan]

this is facinating

[drdrtfehytf]

This video is great! Thanks for uploading!

[mecagoentoooooooo]

Amazing but the music of this videos is very very horrible

[CrossConsoleGamer]

Is this where the mighty boosh got the moon idea from?

[painintheneck007]

kinda creepy....

[2010mustang2]

@painintheneck007 The moon creeps me out.

[JLparaliticodemierda]

iz zatanic

[superweegee]

theres something dreamlike in this that modern movies seem to lack

[arshad209]

lol,,make me laugh..they landed mood without masks,,look at the star ship kekekeke

[jomp589]

there's definitely some charm, and some sort of intricacy that goes with these older films that modern films totally lack.

[ty4263]

Excellent work on the sound track! When they laded on the moon they were saying Cheese look at all the cheese!

[battleon456r]

my your book was AWESOME GREAT FOR BOOK REPORTS EASY FOR SUMMARYIES

[Phi1350]

15 secs in. moon fail, wizard bullet win.

[fogainak]

these alien guys reminds me the rodians from star wars

maybe they were stolen from this movie?

[heartbeatPT]

Huh? Certainly not bad.

[qxcontinuum]

OMG how bad this is :-)

I am happy i was not living in those times!

Would my grandson say the same thing about my era and AVATAR ?

[DavidRectum]

yes, now shut up.

[DjSprinks890]

Lool the moon at 0:18 looks like a cross between The Mighty Boosh and the moon from Stephen Kings IT! Good work mate! Like the soundtrack! :)

[DirtyThumper]

First saw this when i was a young un and was mesmorised! vintage film, loving your take on the film score...

[ELECTRIKpirate]

Don't know the original score, but I like this take on it.

These old film never seem too lose their edge even though they are a bit dated. Gotta love that classic charm.

[twilight1138]

Amazing how many of today's adventure movies have the exact same scenario ... Hero goes on an expedition to some strange place. All goes well until an unexpected enemy appears. Hero fights valiantly, but is caught. When all seems lost the hero barely manages to escape, and returns home, victorious.

[ErictheRedBaron]

dig your music dude i think it fits with this film excellently!

[lifesucksdontit]

I agree. At first I was a little skeptical, but it is even better than the shitty classical music they usually put with silents.

Good job dude!

[njaln]

0:44 where the fuck did the "rocket" go ????!

[lifesucksdontit]

Don't question 1900s logic. Hahaha

[TheDirectorofFoo]

0:16. One of the most famous moments in film history.

[Vi2Tibian]

I'm thinking what the astronauts were planning... something like "Let's go to the moon! fuck with their king and get back!"

ahahah, this movie is awesome, love it ^^

[Aragond68]

Falling to Earth.

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAH!!!

Awesome!

I LOVE that they used to build 2D models for their sets and props -- like the rocket, cannon, townscene -- but just paint them to look 3D. CLASSIC!! Just shows how strongly film was dominated by theatrical precepts.

Music reminded me a lot of the Metropolis project. Much better than "tinkly" piano music. This gave it something.

[DeadMametchi]

It's like a dream, it's like you can see the colors in your head

0:18 wonder what the moon is saying?...

[lovefink2]

it actually looks like the moon is mouthing "what the fuck?" at 0:18

[Threetails]

It does! LOL

[Cloudlesssoul]

@lovefink2 I like to think this is definitely what he is mouthing, despite the film being French.

[2010mustang2]

@lovefink2 I think it was saying that!

[aleksandar93]

@lovefink2 But seriously, what does it say?

[Spaceillusion02]

Poor Luna ='(

[TankMurdock]

whens the sequel coming out?

[iamthequist]

haha

[SuperHeroMania]

wow the first sci-fi film ever,thank you France

[youtub1111]

Leave it to the french to come up with this crap.

[MyName42]

Wow, those wizard/scientists sure are violent. Alien shows up and they immediately blow him up. Then they blow up the next one. Then they get captured and taken to the king, and they blow him up!! Can't we all just get along? =)

Plus, I'm sure those aliens looked just like an alien from Star Wars--same masks.

[rizkyadika]

lol i think the aliens want to say a friendly hello, but the scientists/wizards thought it was a threat. poor aliens...

[spirmessi]

if you like old movies watch the *BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy.

[GilbertEverhard]

Awesome!

[jbdranger]

its so great to think that just 67 years after this, man first followed in their footsteps lol

[GilbertEverhard]

Really?

[boamuro]

No, NASA hired this same crew for the '69 production as well.

[LorkinsOnFire]

i thought it would be impossible to find this film anywhere, so i checked youtube and i was proven wrong! I can finally cross this title off in my 1001 movies to See Before You Die book.

[bugsycline]

a hundred years ago and much better than most today.

bravo

thanks for posting

[Rachegotter]

FRENCH cinema was always the best.

[brittanixinattirb]

It took me a second when I watched the first part to realize it had been dubbed, the music fits SOOOOOO well, I can't wait to purchase your cd!!! This is the best thing I have seen done with this film as of yet, forget the Smashing Pumpkins.

[runiteman10]

our king!

[jansenxvs]

Oh man. Just finished watching this--the action scenes are terrific. I'm not kidding. Very good for its time. I also couldn't help but laugh when the astronomer exploded their "king" or whatever. That was just pure kickassness.

[jansenxvs]

POW! Right in the eye!

[wordonthestreet]

i love these old movies and how naive everyone was, how they thought they could just get out and walk around on the moon. sometimes i wish people were still that innocent.

[guille22xt]

like a fucking holliwood big shit movie!!!!

[DenFremmede85]

Amazing how they made the first movies! I think we need to see these kind of movies, to appreciate how far we've actually come in filmmaking!

[Srilankan1983]

yes , 100 years later future people also will see our times film like now we watching 100 years old movies .

[audgeyp]

Actually, moviemaking was a lot more innovative then. No such thing as CGI so if you see something happening on screen, you know it's really happening. CGI is totally overused nowadays and just makes everything look fake.

[germino777]

whats cgi

[40Ddrew]

you dumbass

[Roncace]

computer generated imaging

[AnthonyMoreno24]

I think the actors, and film makers of those times would be very impressed with CGI if they had lived to see it.

[TheWorksful]

@audgeyp I concur. While CGI is a great cinematic tool, it is nice to get back to the original techniques once and awhile. That's what I found attracting about "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Fantastic Mr. Fox", in that both movies gave CGI (sort of) a break and used stop-motion and puppeterring for those films.

[audgeyp]

@TheWorksful Yeah, that's what I meant-I actually like it when filmmakers use puppetry or stop-motion. CG is ok if used in moderation but lately it's just gone berserk and everything comes out looking very cartoonish. The only movie that I can think of that CG was used properly was Forrest Gump, when they made it look as if Lieutenant Dan didn't have legs and the placing Tom Hanks into the old newsreel footage.

[CZARofLA]

@audgeyp I agree that this was innovative, but so much of that was drawn on the film, such as the star at 1:32

[munhoeo]

how it will be 100 years from now?

[zerorobi]

UHHhhgg! My EYE!!

( if you read his lips he says, " Damn my eye" in french!!)

if you look at the stars @ 1.40

those were the Orig little rascals!!

[letterbekmen]

what is a rascal???

[zerorobi]

the little rascles* were a poplular tv show way back in the day. ( check em out if you can, they are funny!)

a rascle is basically a mischevious child.

* also called "our gang"

[Tipster4free]

lol 3:25 ninja alien

[audgeyp]

These were really great special effects for that time. The one I still can't figure out is when the guy jumped on the back of the spaceship and then it plummeted off the cliff. I was thinking maybe they used a dummy at the last second.

[texpeare]

It's amazing that they imagined returning to earth in a portion of the original craft and being recovered at sea just like the Apollo missions. I wonder if the NASA design team watched it in the 60's.

[xxpiggystardustxx]

great

[canucks16]

i dress up like a wizard and holiday on the moon

[mgo26]

'Ere, you know Diet Coke? That comes with cherries now!

[mystek9]

'Our god is an Indian who can turn into a wolf".

[cachorroviolento]

this remember me a video from smashing pumpkins called tonigth tonigh, i thing they get inspired by this film

[axeldf01]

gr8 movie but... wtf with the music???

[superbird55]

great movie

[santasxgirlfriend]

the soundtrack fits very well!

[sssaaammmT]

ahaha

i love this movie

[typhonsentra]

Unbelievable they were able to put together something to intricate over 100 years ago.

[AirikrStrife]

really funny movie and a great soundtrack you've made

[rockcover]

0:05-0:19

[jcrossetto]

Sensacional a criatividade dos produtores o pessoal foi à lua de canhão e o retorno nem se fala, sem comentários. Achei muito bom....

[Bellagailknox]

Lol, this is awesome for 1902's.

this movie was in Hugo Babret so i knew it must be AmaZiNG! XDXD

[Domcrad]

For astronomy class we have an assignment where we have to watch a science fiction movie and then write about all the scientific inacuracies. I was originally going to do Armegeddon, but I think I can say a lot more about this film.

[ROCKWORLD1881]

the best part is 1:40 to 2:15

[lllexoduslll]

4:14-4:18 is the best part.

[cinthiajazz]

very good work with the soundtrack.. it got me stoned! the film is already a cosmic trip :p

[pointyearsrule]

I like the new soundtrack, it fits almost perfectly. Much more pleasant to watch the film with your electronica versus the orig. :)

[javiersoler666]

me encanta esta pelicula....very cool

[cazerial]

what you mean this is not live!!! I thought it was ground breaking news

[hibbediho]

y is it black and white?

and theres no air on da moon so dis is fake

[CobaltRainProd]

Hello? This movie was made in like... 1904

[DickMotorman]

1902

[bezmolvie]

The transition from piano to those electronic sounds is kinda too rough, but I guess you did that on purpose.

[ShadowxYami]

Excellent music, and when you combine it with the wonderful classic video it is pure steampunk magic. Bravo!

[angelhannahangel]

i read the book about this it was awesome!!

[MrSmiles1994]

A Man to the Moon,Impossible!LOL

[renassur]

This was the very first sci-fi movie of all times... thanks to Meliés...genious!!!

[leocoello]

EL video de The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight fue inspirado en esta pelicula :D

[wallE4ever]

cheers for uploading! i have been searching for this classic everywhere. thank you.

[ObiRobKenobi2]

lol old

[TwoManCrewPictures]

Brilliant.

[SkadooshSwing]

sweet work

[bostonchip2006]

nice soundtrack

mr. chip's

[Sadalia61]

What a charming piece! I loved the music, great job! It's interesting that people at that time may have perceived the moon as inhabited. Very cool!

[Jafuet]

your're kidding? ;)

[roundrockbuds]

love what you did keep up the good

work

[intbn]

what the fluck is this? i was expecting acen!

[DjSprinks890]

@intbn So was i,but this is pretty cool to as i also love my films (to uploader and thos who dont know,Acen is the producer of a early 90s Happy Hardcore track goin by the same name as this film.) Just thought ide say as u didnt really mention! Hell wouldnt surprise me if this is what inspired them to make the track! Lol

[bestfriendjunkies]

the smashing pumpkins tonight video is a protogi

of this video

[luvnothate]

yes! your right.

[mjbcards]

what no blacks in this movie they are racist :) lol jking

[rsuriyop]

the moon has a smile on it :)

[tykemeawaywyou]

whoaaaaaaa love the moon close-up.

[lowlife4ever]

wow.... just wow.... i think the best bit has to be when they have been captured by the moon people and the old guy flips out and body slams their king! that made me smile! =D thanx for the pos and cool music too! [peace]

[Larissahh]

is this the real music in the film??

[tykemeawaywyou]

definitely not. watch some of the other clips and you'll see that it can't possibly be.

[Oudler]

There is no REAL music in this silent film. Most silent films have no correct score. Live music was played during showings and the music scores varied depending on the sheet music and musicians available. When this film was originally shown, a live announcer often provided narration for it. Live announcers were also a common practice for Japanese silent films.

[WheresPoochie]

Damn! That was pretty visually inventive for its time. The French have always been good at filmmaking.

Thanks for posting, and nice score!

[uncontrolledchaos]

and yet so stupid now...

[linuxva]

beard & umbrella  ... cool

[bigzooweek]

I love the music that u made for this! Great job! Thank you for making this!

[direwolf233]

do you know where i can get this movie

It was awesome to see the 1969 NASA moon landing once again. Great stuff!

[GZAProductions79]
