Lumière: L'Arrivée d'un train à La Ciotat (1895)

The acting is mindblowing and emotionally heartwrenching the best scenes audience quoted was the woman running wiht her child it was name by AFI as the most dramatic scene of the 19th century.

This film was the best film of 1895 it won all 11 academy awards grammy awards tony awards and earned 2.5 billion dollars gross revenue, quite a profit considering its 50 cent budget

lol, trains

i thought the first film on earth was of some horse carriages going down a street....well to be honest iv seen lots of "the very first film ever" films so im not inclined to believe any of them, i know one of them was but as for which one? different people say different ones

I read that it was, with the train

When people first saw this film in theaters.. they ran out because they thought the train was going to crush them lol must have been amazing to see this for the first time

Best motion picture of 1895.

dan gnas de llorar es hermoso,

Este es el primer video del cine y del vaguardismo la gente no pudo ver el final de la pelicula por que salio corriendo de la sala de cine es que pensaron que el tren se iba salir de la pantalla

I cannot believe some of these comments, come on people, it's like DanielRock said, it's the first film on Earth...They were still figuring out the technical stuff, you gotta wait for it before you start putting meaning into it.

That said, it must have been interesting, watching all the freaked out people running out of the theater to call other people to come see this funky new invention heheh...
