First, I’d like to say that I found this short film a absolute thrill to watch, it is a spectacular depiction of what makes moving pictures so fascinating. It showcases the allure of the imagination and over all story telling. The style is very reminiscent of early photography staging, that of Southworth and Hawes. The use of backgrounds and various objects really creates the overall settings, that is needed to fabricate a variety of environments needed for the various scenes in Le Voyange dans la Lune. It is also has a hint of surrealism, for example the moon was portrayed as a face made of cheese. I remember growing up I often heard of stories about a man on the moon and the is often compared to swiss cheese, because of the carters on the moon’s surface. Also the figures such as stars and the planets became life like because of the actors portraying them. The over all movie was very enjoyable, it had a lot of movement, and simple visual effects such as smoke and snow.
