Thank you
The first western movie. What a classic.
The first western movie is Kidnapping by Indian .
The first blockbuster*
first heist film too
except in this one took place the events portrayed were probably still happening in real life
Don't know if anyone has noticed how the horse at 11:51 starts signalling danger!
Here because of Goodfellas. Ever since I was a kid I was so confused about the end scene with Tommy shooting 🥴
Ik same
Same I still don't get what happened in those last few seconds
Still a better love story than twilight
People really still shitting on those movies? 🤣
The music was composed afterwards, even after 1910 I'd say. The first original soundtrack being composed in 1908.
It's an amazing early film. Thank you for sharing it.
Just found your channel and look forward to exploring more. I just did a little extra restoration on this historic film with new music. Music makes all the difference. Films of the pre-soundtrack era always had music of some sort - from one piano to small ensembles to huge orchestras and the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ that could replicate an orchestra. They were never 'Silent'
невероятно. битва на крыше поезда клише уже как сто лет
0:09 See, Hollywood? This is how you use a prop gun.
I'm going to bet these actors checked their own piece. It takes about 1 second, but I guess Baldwin is a busy man. Ugh.
Интересный Фильм - Очень Понравился !!! Ограбление Поезда Средь Бела Дня !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was made in 1903... look it up
I fought the law, and the law won
fascinante
100 passengers vs 4 armed robbers. I'd take those odds.
this happened to my buddy Eric
Obviously this is a Western, & the first influential one, but for some strange reason IMDB don't list it as such, but Action/Adventure. Not disagreeing they cannot be that as well.
Even the grandchildren of the actors are dead already.
What you are they were; what they are you will be.
@@iconaus That is a very profound reality of this existence.
Wow
JJ
Double action revolver at the end, not an SA.
عالی 🤐

on closer inspection this film is not very innovative directorically speaking, undoubtedly more modern than other American films, but cinema in Europe was far ahead. In any case, this film has a fundamental importance in the history of cinema
He shoot yo the camera like Sledge Hammer
Maybe is Sledge Hammer that shoot in the camera like him
the real gang was still alive when this came out
um. actually this was made in 2017.. they just put fx and filters on it to make it vintage. how did they have access to editing filters to make it black and white back then? and phones werent inveted then so how did they even record it?
This is so true, like how did they maked smoke without puff bars?? And how are there power lines? The government is lieing to us
I think you are wrong
so true bestie!!!
They used magic lanterns...so as you can see, the movement is not smooth because I think it's a series of photographs in a strip.
And you are asking for the colors? Well they are in black and white because at that time they can't produce colors. The first movies are black and white....the colored ones came in later as the technology was develop.
The soundtrack is awful
I'm glad to know someone else noticed the poor use of music. It's too "midi" sounding. There are better computer music scoring programs that do a better job. But as far as actual musical composition, that is still based on the particular talent of the person creating the music. There is a fine art to adding music to films. It's a lot more than "filling air."
It was made in 1903 so of course the music will sound awful. Give it a break. It tried for the first Film to tell a story.
@@tyty334351 apologies if you were joking, but it's not the original music, and it doesn't work well with the film. as far as music sounding bad because of 1903, we have classical master pieces of music composed 200 years before this film. age make no difference, knowing when and how to use music makes the difference.
First movie ever
actually it was made in 2017, theyre lying this video is a froud!!!!!!!!!
Definitely not the first movie ever
The first movie is a horse in motion from 1878
No man wtf
