A very good movie

It is probably the oldest movie I have seen so far. On top of that, it had been a while since I saw a movie directed by Georges Méliès so I was quite eager to check it out. Well, I really enjoyed the damned thing, that’s for sure. Indeed, even though it was basically only a static shot of 2 mins, it’s incredible how much Méliès managed to achieve with the technology available at the time. Of course, in 2 mins, there was no way he could develop a plot but it didn’t really matter. Indeed, it was still fine anyway and, instead, he gave us such a completely daft scene involving Méliès himself playing some mad scientist blowing up the head of some random guy, of course, played by Méliès himself as well. Eventually, the damned thing was probably not as ambitious or complex as ‘Le voyage dans la lune’ was but it was still seriously awesome. Eventually, beside the real neat special effects for the time period, Méliès had obviously so much fun, it was just seriously contagious, and, even if it was all so short, it was also really entertaining. Eventually, if you are into very old movies, you should really check it out.
