Reaction on Trip to the Moon

                If I am present on the time of airing of the film Trip to the Moon, I would definitely watch it simply because the film is too cool.

                The film involves travelling on the surface of the moon with a capsule projected to space by cannon. The characters in the film are the one who built the capsule and cannon. For me, this part of the film implies that science in the time of airing of this film was good. They have the technology to build items and go to space. On the part where they landed on the moon and tried to sleep, the film tells us that space travelling is possible and we can do it as our technology improves.

                On the part on Gods, my reaction to that part is that the film shows that the society in the time of screening of the film believes in mythological characters. This shows that our society way back time thinks that Gods rule the universe, like Goddess of the moon. Also, these part shows that our society back has a great knowledge in astronomy.

                Another interesting part in the film is The Defense of the Aliens which I believed is interesting. This part shows defense and when the astronauts started killing the aliens, the aliens started coming and they captured and present them to the king and suddenly, they kill the king. For me, this part of the film shows that in our society in that time period, defense mechanism works. By this, I mean that one defends his territory against strangers or people who suddenly show up. One thing more, this shows that some people tend to judge people by its cover. Why? Simply because the astronaut started killing the aliens simply without knowing the reason why are the aliens there.

                Overall, the film is great despite the time of its screening where technology and ideas are not that developed.
