The Great Train Robbery


This video is truly amazing considering it is 110 years old. It really shows the great capabilities that filmmakers and actors had back then even though their technology was very simplistic. This is one of the films that definitely led to films becoming a huge part of our daily lives and directly led to movies such as "The General" which was made about 23 years later. The soundtrack to this film was somewhat out of place, which makes me curious as to what the original soundtrack would have been like. Also, it was sort of odd how only certain things were put into color including the woman's dress during the dance scene.
