Question

Imagine you were in one of the audiences for the lumiere brothers first films. What would your reaction have been?

Answer 1

The Lumiere Brothers made the first motion pictures. I would have been awestruck at the technology, being able to see recordings of people and objects in motion because my whole life before that time I had only been able to see paintings and some still photos. I might have even been frightened by some of the things I was shown because I was not yet used to the illusion of film.
