Silent Film Week! A Trip To The Moon Movie Review

A Trip To The Moon Movie Poster

A Trip To The Moon

A Classic Film You Should See At Least Once

A Trip To The Moon is a 1902 film, which in every sense of the word, is a classic.
The plot of the film is simple, a group of men take a trip to the moon. Once on the moon they encounter moon-men and have to fight them off, and attempt to return home to earth.
If there ever was a classic film, A Trip To The Moon would be it. It's one of the oldest movies we have, and it's not that bad. I think everyone has seen the famous face on the moon before, well heck, just scroll up to the poster.
The set design is actually pretty interesting. It looked like they put a lot of effort into making the movie given the time period.
The acting itself is pretty interesting, because movies were still new, and most acting epicene still came from stage acting. I personally think the actors in this film did a fine job.
The film clocks in at under 20 minutes and even though it's short, it certainly still should be watched. I know I'm repeating myself here, but really, this film is a part of history. I think it's just one of those films you have to see if you are a film buff.
I don't really have much else to say except, watch A Trip To The Moon at least once.



final score: 4.5/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
