The brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière created the first publicly shown movies, the first documentaries and, with this one-shot, 50-sec. film shot at a Provence railway station, the first horror picture. It is said that as the Paris spectators watched the train chug toward the screen, they believed it was about to crash out of the frame and into the auditorium, and ran out screaming. True or not, the story indicates the power the medium would wield over its audience.

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

  • @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.
