True...I guess the reason people say that (other than trying to be witty and failing), is because watching old films is a little different than, say, looking at paintings of people and events from the 1700's or something. In films, the people are moving, and you see a small part of their life. When you see, for example, a painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it's not the same. I never heard anybody say "Oooh, the Founding Fathers...they're all dead!"

Well. It delivers what it promises.

I imagine thats an old timey version of the Jack Schitt family hehe

[BreezesofConey]

I bet the whole Dam family had bed bugs!

This isnt Lumiere (obviously, its not French) and it isnt Edwin S Porters (Thomas Edison Co) original either, but rather the remake made by Lubin Manufacturing Co. in 1905

@pythonist They say it about ALL the old film clips, even Edison's. I think they are just afraid of their own mortality.

[pythonist]

it is BORING to read comments about the fact that everyone in Lumiere's films is dead now. I find plenty of them. If you watch 1905 films what do you expect? Of course they all are dead, but come on, they lived their life, they got their chance, and we still watch them now, after more than 100 years. Moreover, they didn't die all in one day. All of them had their life and their death. It's LIFE.
