Japon pittoresque (1907)
a good video of Japan 116 years ago
This has lots of potential to be a good documentary. But alas, it's silent and without a narrator. You have to figure out what's going on by yourself. So watching this clip is like digging gold. I believe everyone will have their own opinions and focuses while watching a certain part. Like, I often see the cars and animals.
Yeah, the animal part is cute. And this part could be even included into another documentary on Japanese animals to be honest.
What a great experience of back-to-the-past. I can't help feeling that Japan will never be the same like now without "the power of industralization".
La Charcuterie mécanique (1895)
An interesting idea
Many people ever dreamt about machines. But the machine in this movie really shines at the standard of 1890's.
If I was one of the audience in the cinema watching this movie, it'd give me a whole range of ideas, or maybe purely a brainstorm. After watching this, I tried to recall the scenes and thought about more scenes for the animation! So I'd say this movie even opens a new door of multi-media. Things not just sci-fi but also include stuffs of fantasy, magic, etc.
Well, I think I could make a dream about "famous scenes" of short movies during 1870-1900 like this and put all the ideas into a feature length movie. Or you can make it happen for me, Mr. Director.
