Despite the lack of dogs in the crowd, this Lumière actuality short makes up for it with an old timey choo-choo train. Interesting as another little film history time capsule of late 19th century France, but more interesting is the mystery of; what's in that time-traveler's picnic basket? For some reason I like to think it's a Mogwai. Why? Uhh...I don't know, maybe because my brain craves narrative, and it's just left to make up stories for all these random people lost to the sands of time.

Revolutionary. Of course comparing it to movies now a days is slightly unfair. But still interesting to imagine what this must have been like back in 1895

Apparently untrue that it was shown at the Lumière brothers' first public screening on 28 December 1895 (not being shown until 1896), and apparently unclear what was the true audience reaction. Be that as it may, it seems clear that the audience did react with astonishment, and that what this serves to show is that to watch a film is to engage in a practice that must be learned. The point being: this may well be a practice that, 120 years later, is well on the way to being unlearned.
