00:00:02,570 --> 00:00:06,800
A Trip to the Moon
by George Melies

2
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:19,594
The astronomers are assembled in a
large hall embellished with instruments.

3
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:25,401
The president and members
of the committee enter.

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,930
Everybody takes his seat.

5
00:00:29,903 --> 00:00:35,150
Entrance of six man-servants carrying
the telescopes of the astronomers.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,074

7
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,240
The president takes his chair

8
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,980
and explains to the members
his plan for a trip to the moon.

9
00:01:25,850 --> 00:01:28,005
The scheme is approved by many.

10
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,101
But one member violently opposes same.

11
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,500
After some argument,

12
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
the president throws
his papers and books

13
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:40,840
at his head.

14
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:10,502
Upon order being restored,

15
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,850
the trip proposed by the president
is voted by acclimation.

16
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,211
The man-servants bring travelling suits.

17
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,150
President Barbenfouillis
selects five colleagues

18
00:02:28,170 --> 00:02:29,850
to accompany him:

19
00:02:29,901 --> 00:02:37,300
Nostradamus, Alcofrisbas, Omega,
Micromegas and Parafaragamus.

20
00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:12,231
We enter the interior of the workshop
where smiths, mechanics, weighers,

21
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200
carpenters, upholsterers, et cetera

22
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:19,600
are working hard at the completion
of the machine.

23
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Micromegas accidentally falls
into a tub of nitric acid.

24
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:36,870
A workman informs the astronomers
that if they would ascend to the roof,

25
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,100
they will witness a splendid spectacle:
the casting of the gun.

26
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,950
Against the horizon,
the chimneys are seen

27
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:53,970
belching forth volumes of smoke.

28
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,100
Suddenly, the flag is hoisted.

29
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,300
At the signal, a mass of
molten steel is directed

30
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,700
from each furnace
into the mold for the gun.

31
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:11,050
The mold pours forth
flames and vapor.

32
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:23,850
On the top of the roofs of the town,
pompous preparations have been made.

33
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:28,350
The shell is in position,
ready to receive the travelers.

34
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,540
These arrive...

35
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200
...respond to the acclamations
of the crowd...

36
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,523
...and finally enter the shell.

37
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,900
A marine closes the bridge
through which they have passed.

38
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,300
A number of gunners are pushing the shell
up an incline into the mouth of the gun.

39
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:45,700
The cannon is loaded.
The bridge is closed.

40
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:50,200
Everyone is waiting for the signal

41
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:53,800
which starts the shell on its voyage.

42
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,150
An officer gives the signal.

43
00:05:58,300 --> 00:05:59,800
The gun is fired...

44
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,750
...and the shell disappears into space.

45
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,600
The shell coming closer every minute,

46
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,800
the moon magnifies rapidly

47
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:17,330
until finally it attains
colossal dimensions.

48
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,900
Suddenly, the shell pierces
the eye of the moon.

49
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:27,720
The shell comes down with a crash.

50
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:34,900
The astronomers get out

51
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:39,800
and are delighted at the landscape
which is new to them.

52
00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:57,400
Against the horizon, the Earth
is rising slowly into space

53
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,900
illuminating the picture
with a fantastic light.

54
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,500
The astronomers see craters everywhere.

55
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:09,900
Just as they are about to explore,

56
00:07:10,115 --> 00:07:15,400
an explosion throws the unfortunate men
violently in all directions.

57
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:22,999
The astronomers show signs of fatigue

58
00:07:23,050 --> 00:07:25,850
after the rough trip they have just had.

59
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:30,950
They stretch themselves out on the ground
and go to sleep.

60
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:39,230
Seven gigantic stars

61
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:42,850
representing the Great Bear
appear slowly,

62
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:47,120
and out of the stars come
faces of women

63
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,800
who seem annoyed

64
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:51,670
at the presence of these intruders
in the moon.

65
00:07:52,735 --> 00:07:57,000
Then, the stars are replaced
by a lovely vision

66
00:07:57,050 --> 00:07:59,100
of Phoebes on the crescent,

67
00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:01,330
of Saturn in his globe

68
00:08:01,340 --> 00:08:02,900
and of charming young girls

69
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:04,470
holding up a star.

70
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,800
They decide to punish the terrestrials
in an exemplary manner.

71
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:14,480
By order of Phoebes, snow
is falling from all quarters,

72
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:15,800
covering the ground

73
00:08:15,850 --> 00:08:17,560
with its white coat.

74
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,930
The cold becomes unbearable.

75
00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:23,540
So the unfortunate voyagers wake up

76
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,050
half-frozen.

77
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,880
They decide without hesitation
and in spite of the danger

78
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:38,350
to descend into the interior
of the great crater

79
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,400
in which they disappear one-by-one

80
00:08:41,450 --> 00:08:44,500
whilst the snowstorm is still raging.

81
00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:53,880
The astronomers arrive into the interior
of a most curious grotto

82
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,750
filled with enormous mushrooms
of every kind.

83
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:01,000
One of them opens his umbrella

84
00:09:01,050 --> 00:09:03,640
to compare its size with the mushroom,

85
00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:06,150
but the umbrella suddenly takes root

86
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,050
and transforming itself into a mushroom

87
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:10,200
starts growing

88
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,150
attaining gigantic proportions.

89
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,790
The astronomers suddenly
notice strange beings

90
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,150
coming out from underneath
the mushrooms

91
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000
while making singular contortions.

92
00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:25,660
These are the Selenites,

93
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,800
or inhabitants of the Moon.

94
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,430
A fantastical being rushes
on an astronomer

95
00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:33,500
who defends himself

96
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,460
and with a stroke of his umbrella

97
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:39,050
the Selenite bursts
into a thousand pieces.

98
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:45,602
But the Selenites are arriving
in numbers.

99
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,250
The astronomers are captured,

100
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:49,000
bound and taken to the palace

101
00:09:49,050 --> 00:09:51,790
of the King of the Selenites.

102
00:09:53,230 --> 00:09:54,570
On a splendid throne,

103
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:56,480
surrounded by living stars,

104
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,650
the Selenite king is seated.

105
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,720
President Barbenfouillis makes a dash
for the King of the Selenites

106
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:09,150
and lifting him like a feather

107
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,900
throws him violently on the ground.

108
00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:19,150
The astronomers run away in the midst
of the general disorder. 

109
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,880
The Selenite army is pursuing them.

110
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,900
The astronomers run at full speed

111
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,870
turning around each time
they are pressed too closely

112
00:10:28,882 --> 00:10:31,960
and reducing the fragile beings to dust.

113
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:40,950
At last, the astronomers
have found the shell

114
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,970
and quickly shut themselves
in the interior.

115
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,250
Thanks to the advance, they have
succeeded in getting over their adversaries.

116
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,180
Only one, the president,

117
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,700
has been left behind.

118
00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:54,500
He rushes to the rope

119
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,750
which hangs from the point of the shell

120
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,900
and letting himself slide down the rope

121
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:04,960
he gives it an impetus which causes
the shell to fall off the edge of the moon.

122
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:15,870
The shell falls with sickening rapidity.

123
00:11:17,150 --> 00:11:19,150
The sea appears.

124
00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:21,950
The shell balances

125
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,350
and thanks to the hermetically
sealed air in its interior

126
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,350
rises slowly to the surface.

127
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,850
The shell is picked up by a steamer

128
00:11:37,860 --> 00:11:39,500
which tows it to port.

129
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:01,705
The Mayor welcomes the astronomers
with a speech,

130
00:12:01,706 --> 00:12:05,710
and the general ovation awaits
their happy return.

131
00:12:06,711 --> 00:12:11,711
