Blacksmith Scene (1893) Short Film
A stationary camera looks at a large anvil with a blacksmith behind it and one on either side. The smith in the middle draws a heated metal rod from the fire, places it on the anvil, and all three begin a rhythmic hammering. After several blows, the metal goes back in the fire. One smith pulls out a bottle of beer, and they each take a swig. Then, out comes the glowing metal and the hammering resumes. (imdb)

There's not much to say about a 30-second movie about such a mundane activity. The best part is reflecting that this is a piece of time preserved for the ages by a then-revolutionary technology, and that most films this old -- indeed, 90% of all silent movies ever made -- have gone right into the ashcan, and will never be witnessed ever again

Although its running time is 39 seconds, this is somehow very interesting. I don't know. When watching it, I could feel that this was one of the very first movies ever created. A film that made everything that would follow possible. It's good.

I was moved to tears. The entire film is a metaphor for our daily lives; the struggle against the bourgeoisie; the small hurdles we must overcome during our daily lives. The subplot of the disloyal partner, I thought, was well done and subtle. Each one of the actors does an unbelievably excellent portrayal of their respective characters. They emote so wonderfully that you can't help but feel you truly are experiencing the best that film has to offer.

It is a staged scene, so it hasn't the ethnographic value that later actualities had. It has no imagination, so it's not as entertaining as later trick films. The only reason to rate this higher the "0" is film history value. So I'll give it a 20.
