0:13 Georges Melies' wife who appeared in all his films you will notice her in every single silent film no matter how small the role. George Melies also designed his own props and stage sets, and you will find objects disappear and reappear this is because he was a great magician by trade and his wife his assistant. Also, he is the bearded man in this film as he played a character in all his silent films. See the movie "Hugo" if you want to know more about Georges Melies. Enjoy!
Though not his wife at the time of making the films. Jehanne d'Alcy is the actress and was Melies' mistress. He married d'Alcy long after his film making days were over and his first wife had died. Hugo is a wonderful homage to Melies but greatly inaccurate about his private life and why his career as a film maker ended.

Georges Méliès is one of the best examples to showcase the power of ingenuity. When you have no past examples to base your work upon and all you possess is your mind and creativity, you can really do wonderful things.
I find this film oddly comforting; such an imaginative short that inspires the imagination and makes you think about just how wonderful film can really be. Then again, most of Georges Melies' surviving films have that effect. :)
Tinted VisionZz oh back in my day (the 1890s) instead of using our fancy machine screens we used sticks to play and loved and we didn't have cars back than and this film was a spectacle to the eys
Wow, nice & interesting! I don't know when my Great-Great-Great-Grandma was born, but my best guess is she was probably born in either the late 1880s or early 1890s, so it's like this was made during her childhood, lol!...
I never had this reaction to anything ever, but silent black and white movies just give me small tingles in my heart, it has a soothing effect. I just breath as I feel my BPM dropping. Anyone else?
This right here is the most remarkable film and animation there was and is honestly insanely impressive for it's time. This is so ahead of the curb it's not even funny. It's truly out of this world, surreal, original. This guy was a complete genius.
So, it's a warm summers' evening in Paris 1898. Your girlfriend/wife/mistress has just spent an hour and a half getting dressed in 5 layers of corsets and bloomers. You rode in a horse drawn carriage across the city for a fine dinner of snails and blood-sausage and then you go to the theater to see a 3 minute, 30 second film and head back home for the evening.
I don't think it worked that way. Cinemas back then were linked to theaters, so it's very likely they watched a few movies before and after watching a teather show, which was much longer, so in total they would stay at least 1 or 2 hours
Moon related topics like this were somewhat of a commonplace at the turn of the 19th century. At the St. Louis worlds fair there was a "Trip to the Moon" which had similar weird graphics like this. It was on the Pike, the entertainment portion of the fair. I think this movie recreates some of the spirit of the fair, especially that "along the Pike in 1904.
One of the great things about these very early silent films is how it shows the period stagecraft. All these props were very much part of the Victorian stage. The 80s movie Munchausen shows some of that.
How I would love to know how the audience reacted to this in 1898. I'm sure they were spellbound, but I wonder if they were as freaked out by that weird, chomping moon as I am 120 years later.
I'd love to be able to see a 1022 year old film. Imagine being able to see the middle ages. Hopefully the world will survive for future people to be able to live that.
At age 13, in 1959, I got my first Kodak' brownie' movie camera & projector (still have them) & proceeded to make 3 minute, silent 'movies', with plots, using my teenage friends as actors! In only a few minutes, with care, an entire story could be told! / George Melies was a genius in being able to do this, since he had no predecessors, in 1898! (p.s.

The Astronomer's Dream, is like the resemblance of life, the sad piano soundtrack is really good about life. Everything that's going on to him is like life getting in the way, the Moon that chomps through everything is like hell toying with your mind, guess why it looks creepy and why the near end the Devil from the very beginning of the film comes out. Then after all the living hell there's a hope in the dark, the woman which I believe is the guardian angel restores and helps the astronomer to put things back to normal so that he can make his dream come true.

What a fun film! You do know that Georges Méliès is considered the father of special effects, right? The man was an incredible genius! I enjoy his films, b/c they are amazing. 😲
They invented them from nothing. Their imaginations truly ran rampant. And what marvelous results. Everything from then was built on until we see the CGI effects. Back then it was as real as life. Now it looks dated, but in context it was brilliant as was much of M. Méliès' work.
According to my cinema history class, someone else did that in 1862. I forget his name but his bosses had him make up a new production every week for years so as to never play the same thing for too long, until he had a nervous breakdown, threw all his work in a river and killed himself.
I was wondering that myself, but after looking at it carefully, I don't think it's true animation. The "Setting Moon" seems to be a circle drawn on a movable piece of board or paper, and the arms & legs on the dancing globe are sticks. Note the latitude and longitude lines on the globe change from the original when it starts to dance--the entire board was swapped out. But I know why you asked that--on a quick viewing, it looks animated.
Not really.. looks to be depicting Pythagerous, Aristotle, Carpanicus.. Do your research.. satanic moon worshipping deceivers.... there's no such thing as a globe earth.. it's satanic...

I didn't know filmmaking was a commercial entity in 1898. I learned something. Weed through the trash, and sometimes the Internet pleasantly surprises you.
Perfect example of a pretentious douche. Empire Strikes Back is arguably in the top 10 films ever made. This shouldn't be in the top 500.. and I love early silent films.
Calling someone a "pretentious douche" in such an arbitrary context makes you one by default. Some Star Wars movies might be in your 10 favourite films but not even close to a top 100. Hundreds of films have brought more to cinema and art than any Star Wars.

@@eukarya_ I'm going to assume you're a brainwashed sheep that is terrified to pop his bubble, terrified to take the red pill, terrified to know that everything he knew was a lie... I've been at that stage, you doubt, you're scared, it's terrifying, but you learn to be enlightened, seeing the world as fools is horrible, seeing that the world is ran by satanic evil is horrible... but just ignore the FACTS I stated, don't do the research, call me a troll, and continue being deceived, like you want to.
@@batman4452 You haven't given any facts at all, you just accused the scientific truths of being a lie and the Moon landing to be false but you haven't pointed out why our scientific models are flawed and haven't provided any proof of how they were faked.
In fact you seem like a troll mocking on conspiracy theorists.
Call me a sheeple or whatever you fancy, I'll stand by the science that has given us all this advancements in life quality, such as the wi-fi we're using to communicate.
@@eukarya_ Their are some theories, and facts in my post... but pretend like their aren't. The numbers are facts, but you see nothing peculiar about them lol.
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
I can't get over that he actually fed that kid to the moon.
Moon's gotta eat.
He sent them back to where they came from
Only 1898 kids will remember this banger 🔥
This is pretty good for 1898
My great grand dad told me about these films. He said even then people thought they were weird.
Not sure your great granddad would love back then but nonetheless I can believe that
Find this far more captivating than any of the CGI junk made today. It just captures the imagination in its simplicity
It’s a children spitting moon
You’d go back there you’d be bored out of your mind
Imagine calling technology the thing keeping us alive junk
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Only 1890s kids will remember this
This was well planned filming!
Wonderful!
I really like it!
+MrSunflowersongs why thank you
Beautiful film!
Only eight years before I was born(1906)
You youngin'. I remember catching this in theaters.
+ihavenonamenoname of course you were xD
i was born in the wrong generation.
I was born during the cavemen years
James Irwin shut up your 11
The 90's was my favorite decade!✨
Nobody:
That one kid: Ahhhh the good old days
If were Sir Charles Chaplin,would be 9yo in that era,he born in 1889 and maybe saw this,I dunno lf remembered this💪💪💪💪💪
I didn't know filmmaking was a commercial entity in 1898. I learned something. Weed through the trash, and sometimes the Internet pleasantly surprises you.
And I thought the moon in Majora's Mask was scary. Maybe that's where Nintendo got the inspiration.
I wonder what happened to all these early film sets and costumes...🤔 surprisingly, some stuff from 1900 still exists today, though it's delicate.
This movie is now 126 y. old, fuck
this must have been a blast to make
0:57 - I didn’t realize that this film had jumpscares.
Before Stephen King's Carrie did the first "legendary jumpscare", Astronomer's Dream is the first.
Mr. Friendship - Hey, wait a minute... I’ve seen your comments on other videos. Nice to see you here.
exactly 100 years before my birth, hope for a sequel someday
i'd rather see five minutes of this stuff than the whole Star Wars circus
I would have to agree with you. Can't see how people liked that movie.
Man, the very first Star Wars movie was absolute gold.
Perfect example of a pretentious douche. Empire Strikes Back is arguably in the top 10 films ever made. This shouldn't be in the top 500.. and I love early silent films.
Harry Warburg It's time travel!
Calling someone a "pretentious douche" in such an arbitrary context makes you one by default. Some Star Wars movies might be in your 10 favourite films but not even close to a top 100. Hundreds of films have brought more to cinema and art than any Star Wars.
thanks for sharing silentfilmhouse
2:01 first jumpscare in history
