    According to articles I've read online in Post magazine, the accompaniment of piano or organ didn't become popular until the teens. And as these early silent movies were often shown in Vaudeville houses, they would have sound effects in order to add as much realism as possible. The Great Train Robbery is considered the first "blockbuster." The article states it should not be viewed so much for its innovation, but rather its promulgation of the media type.

      The 1:45 shot appears as though the train is traveling at full speed but in the 2:41 shot, the train is clearly moving more slowly. I'm guessing we're to infer that the conductor heard the gunshots and is bringing the train to a halt as a result?

    The Great Train Robbery, I read about this while typing a paper for my Communications class and after watching the movie, it’s beyond interesting. Now, I rewatched it for my Film 1895 to 1945 class and it’s a good look into how film was first made, especially with it also using cuts and different angles.

    The Great Train Robbery (1903), de Edwin S. Porter, é considerado como “o primeiro filme realmente cinematográfico pela fluidez e coerência da narrativa” (CANELAS). E foi esse diferencial contido em tal obra (o da narrativa sendo fortalecida através da justaposição de planos) um dos fatores responsáveis por levar o cinema a ocupar a posição que detém hoje, de “arte de contar uma estória através de imagens dispostas em uma sucessão de cenas precisamente organizadas."

    00:19 and again at 00:40 Slight plothole. Passengers in arriving train could see the robbers through the window and should have alerted railroad employees in particular the "bulls" railroads hired to deal with just this type of thing.
    00:30 Tickettaker is pistol whipped
    1:45 Train at least appears to be moving at full speed based on the scenery through the open sidecar.
    2:33 Pyrotechnic effect (robber explodes the safe)
    2:41 Train slowing down as robbers advance toward the engine
    2:51 Boiler stoker comes out armed with his shovel to fight a losing battle with the crooks. Between 3:00 and 3:03 they switch out the actor playing the stoker with a pretty obvious prop dummy which is hurled off the train at 3:09
    3:55 I have no way to verify this but another commenter indicated this was atypical in most train robberies at the time: The robbers would simply have the seated passengers surrender their valuables instead of going to the trouble of making them get out of the locomotive first. Presumably, Edwin Porter did this to have a reason to include the shooting of a fleeing passenger at 4:48 That actor is a more convincing corpse than the mail clerk (who I assume we are to believe died, if not by gunfire then by shrapnel from the safe explosion)
    5:36 Loading the ill-gotten gain into the engine
    6:10 The getaway!
    7:03 Meanwhile, back at the ticket office the ticket taker attempts to send an S. O.S.
    7:52 Square dance time
    8:12 "Here's how a REAL man does it..."
    8:48 Sounding the alarm
    9:42 Final showdown
    10:26 Breaking the "fourth wall"

    This film was the first film ever to tell a complete story from beginning to end. Previous films were nothing more than a sene from every day life shown before the camera. Hence the term living pictures. When it debuted it caused a sensation in America and around the world no one had ever seen anything quite like it. The director Edwin s porter said years later the first night it was shown in New York they had to push people out the door and tell them to go home. They wanted to watch it over and over again. He New by that he had a hit. It set the standard for all other films for the next several years.

    David Wark Griffith (January 22, 1875 - July 23, 1948) was an American film director. Widely considered as the most important filmmaker of his generation, he pioneered financing of the feature-length movie.
    His film The Birth of a Nation (1915) made investors a profit, but also attracted much controversy, as it depicted African Americans in a negative light and glorified the Ku Klux Klan. Together with Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks he founded United Artists, enabling them to control their own interests, rather than depending on commercial studios.
