The first movie that talks about the art of cinematography.

That "projection" at 1:29 is impressive given the available technology.

I'm 42, so these people would be my great-grandparents' generation. Wow - the concept of relativity can be so humbling. Imagine if young people in the year 2103 were to see film of some of us alive now!

i feel you but am i jaded asf to think that humanity might well have wiped itself out by then? In some ways a lot of the technology we have now is just am extension of Victorian ideas, yet i guess they couldn't have imagined the full impact and extent of the changes that would occur as a result, despite having quite an imagination. For better and for worse.

@@mothratemporalradio517 Yes, you have a great point there, too. It is a multi-faceted concept, to say the least.
