Before humans officially landed on the moon, the moon was a celestial body shrouded in mystery. After landing on the moon, the mysterious color of the moon gradually faded, and humans began to explore this planet in depth. The history of light and shadow development over a hundred years just reflects this change process.
The first science fiction movie in the history of movies,
originated from the moon
902, movie master George Merrie got inspiration from the science fiction novels "From the Earth to the Moon" and "The First Man to Arrive on the Moon" and adapted the novel into a silent film - "The Travel of the Moon". , a movie called "the first science fiction film in history", is actually only 14 minutes short. But at that time, it was a work that cost 1,500 gold Louis's "huge investment".

movie today, it is really shoddy. But for the history of film, it has epoch-making historical significance. The film's expression techniques such as fading out and fading in, the changes in fast and slow motion are all derived from this film. It is through this film that people realize that in the world of movies, imagination is completely unrestricted.

The movie had an unprecedented success at that time. In addition to the credit of director Irving Pitchell, he also relied on Robert Heinley, the "father of American modern science fiction novels" who served as a technical consultant for the film. It is precisely because of this that the entire movie is full of scientific rigor, allowing the audience to appreciate the charm of space and science in the cinema.

may be limited by the technical consultant's persistence in scientific logic, and the plot of "Landing on the Moon" is not very outstanding.

Movies about the moon, and "2001 Space Odyssey", known as the "science fiction movie ceiling", is an unavoidable work. It is possible to win such a title because its impact on the development of science fiction films is unprecedented.

Liu Cixin’s "2001 Space Odyssey" refers to a science fiction novel with the same name as the movie written by the famous science fiction novelist Arthur Clark . However, the script of the movie of the same name was written by Arthur Clark and director Tanley Kubrick. The
movie was released in 1968. A year later, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, making the imagination in the movie a reality.Interestingly, because the moon surface filmed in the movie is too realistic, the moon landing in the United States has been questioned. Some people believe that the moon landing process was actually taken in the studio. No matter what the truth is, it also shows how well the film is produced from another perspective.
This is a small step for the individual, but
is a big step for human beings
Human beings' exploration of the moon has never stopped. The same is true for the imagination of the moon in the film works.
There are even many people who believe that one day, human beings will build bases on the moon, exploit energy, and use it for the earth.
Based on this imagination, director Duncan Jones wrote and directed the science fiction suspense film "Moon". This low-cost science fiction film, released in 2009, completed the filming work in just 33 days, but it has gained a very high reputation in the hearts of movie fans.

The vast starry sky may contain the hope of humanity’s future, but I’m afraid that no planet can compare to its own home. The coexistence of humans and machines, the coexistence of human nature and program... No matter how technology develops, this kind of discussion will never be outdated.
Since the 1902 "The Moon Travel" story, humans have begun a long journey to the moon in the movie world. Moon-themed films are emerging in endlessly, and there are countless excellent ones.
For a long time, it is the continuous imagination in film and television works that has inspired us to rush into space and explore the unknown, and it is also the answer derived from reality that has reshape the pattern and pattern of our imagination again and again.
As Neil Armstrong famously said: "This is a small step for the individual, but a big step for the human race." This journey is far from over.
We look forward to
The next footprint of human beings stepping on the moon,
Whether it is a movie or a reality.
