A movie that proves humans were ignorant, stupid and discriminatory 120 years ago
8 January 2023
The content and quality of this movie is one star, but I give it three stars in honor of the actors and producers of the film 120 years ago, and the orchestra, which is the only sound.

Yesterday, I saw the news that "people go to the moon", so I searched for a movie about going to the moon. This movie is a classic short movie made in France in 1902.

The movie poster is an eerie scene of the moon peering through binoculars. It's a fairly old movie from 120 years ago. I like silent classic movies represented by Charlie Chaplin, so I am excited to pick this up.

Unfortunately, both the synopsis and the quality of the film were poor. First, the idea of going to the moon and fighting aliens harmonizes with the prevailing ideas of the time, which were aggressive.

In the 1990s, there was a Hollywood movie called "Mars Attacks," and the synopsis of that movie is that you are attacked and fought by aliens on the moon.

In any case, it means that there is an enemy on a planet that neither Europe nor Hollywood knows, which is very discriminatory and offensive.

So, at that time, children who saw this movie (even though they are the great-grandfathers or great-grandmas of people who are now 100 years old) must have thought this way.

In this universe, besides the earth, there are moons and unknown planets, but strange creatures live there and they are our enemies. It instills aggressive and discriminatory thoughts in children.

Though, we don't know if there are any creatures that actually live on the moon. However, it may be because there was a struggle between countries at that time.

The idea that planets, nations, and creatures that look different from us and we don't know are enemies is definitely a fallacy and a stupid side of humanity. I don't understand why this movie has 8+ stars on IMDB.
