The Christmas Dream (1900) - GEORGES MELIES - Score by Billy Duncan - Le reve de Noel

In The Christmas Dream (aka Le rêve de Noël), Georges Méliès explores multiple aspects of Christmas: the myth (Father Christmas), the religious (church bells, the choir, etc.), the social (the feast scene), and the spirit (gifts).

I am watching this on Christmas 123 years later. This could be a music video today. I'm so grateful to live in the times I am today

[@stevedalbor1001]

What a piece of work is man...

[@pfarquharson1]

It look fantastic and it 120 years old.

[@ttnyny]

Magical visuals combined with an anachronistic soundtrack.

Quelle féérie!!! Georges, c'est merveilleux, merveilleux...je continue de croire que le père Noël existe.
Reviens-nous, Georges !!!dans ce siècle ils sont devenus tellement cyniques, et glauques...Voilà pour prendre de l'oxygène... eh bien, il n'y a qu'un saut temporel à effectuer et grâce à internet (ça c'est vraiment un truc magique ;-) cela nous est rendu possible à tout moment...Quelle joie de pouvoir regarder tes films...
Also thank you so much to GBGP for all these treasures!

What a great score- Perfect

[@jbrown961991]

I liked the score, a little unusual for a silent film but I think it captured the whimsical spirit of Melies well!

[@Magnetron33]

Excellent and amazing as usual.

[@leeparten8124]

Cool music!

[@mapleext]

Yes, quite interesting - but let’s have some kind of period winter or Christmas music to it.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

People were easily amused in 1900.

Q Linda era antes la navidad

[@VilhelmHammershoi1666]

The music and the story are at odds they just don't fit 😢

[@foodhipster]

The video is awesome. The music COULDN'T
BE MORE INAPPROPRIATE for these clips. Had to turn that sheyat off.

[@gregorkrause]

Saloon piano music would've been appropriate or even better, #phonographchristmas songs.

My idea of a Xmas spent in a drug induced hell.

[@johnschumacher5629]

Is this film in public domain

[@CBGPoriginals]

yes it is

[@djrichylaurence8991]

The beggar did well here. 😊

[@JohnFDonovan-by1nt]

This clip shows the fading influence the Catholic meaning of Christmas had even in 1900. The music was banal and quite irritating. French "religious" Christmas music is quite lovely, particularly the Noels written for the organ. However given the overall secular feeling some late 19th century salon music would have done quite nicely.

[@bronxsmurfette76]

Music isnt right

[@Geest.]

I don’t like the music

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Totally agree, its bloody awful, and that drum ticking away in the foreground makes it even worse.

[@elbandito7504]

Music Sucks.....
