¿Cuál es la trascendencia de la película que acabas de ver?

¿Qué
importancia tiene para la cultura pop, para la ciencia y para su época?

R:

The image of the Moon's face has been imitated many times in popular culture, in two
music videos, for example, in The Smashing Pumpkins Tonight video, Tonight.

The image of the face of the moon with the ship nailed to one of its eyes is honored in the
second chapter of the first season of the television series Futurama. The protagonists of
the series visit the moon, turned into an amusement park, and Bender sticks a bottle in the
eye of the park's mascot, which has the head precisely the moon with the face of the film
of Mélias.

The English rock band, Queen, bases the film on the music video for the song "Heaven for
Everyone", from the album Made in Heaven, where you can see scenes from the shoot
along the song along with fuzzy and discrete images by Freddie Mercury.

Scorsese's film, Hugo's Invention (2011), makes clear reference to the image of the
wounded moon, towards the end the full footage is shown, and even partly recounted and
dramatized as this film was shot at the time, among other tributes to the director of it.

¿Cuál es el legado de Georges Mélies?

R:

His legacy is based on culture and impact on the global film company, and I guess science
relied on this film for later travel.

The importance of "Journey to the Moon", unlike the films after this one, is that from this
moment the author could tell a story, either created by him or based on a work such as this
(since it is based on two literary works). It is also worth noting that Mélias had a limited
economic resource for its realization.

George Mélies was one of the main creators of some cinematic tricks in cinema,
highlighting the stop trick or substitution trick. With this film would begin the period of
maximum glory of the filmmaker that would end in 1908. This work brought together all the
ones that the munlies had developed is, therefore, that it remains analytical material for
filmmakers and audiovisual students.
