History of Motion Pictures - Early Films by Thomas Alva Edison 1899 DVD: History of Motion Pictures Early Films by Thomas Alva Edison 1899 DVD |
| Product Description : One recalls the historic words "I am experimenting upon an instrument which does for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear, which is the recording and reproduction of things in motion ...." uttered by Thomas A. Edison in 1888. As the world knows, this was a man who delivered on what he promised. Our world would certainly not be the same if he had not been part of American history. It can, of course, be argued that his world-changing inventions would eventually have been masterminded by others. However, there would almost certainly have been an incredible time lag before this happened. Thomas Alva Edison was not a ploddingly meticulous scientist - he was a driven visionary the likes of whom we will not see again. A creative genius who had an incalculable impact on the modern world. Each of the film segments that you will see on this DVD represent a piece of history in its own right - times and situations that have, in their own way, defined the times and situations that were to follow. The Spanish American War, 19th century New York and Yellowstone Park, Teddy Roosevelt?s Rough Riders... all these and more are available in a compact time capsule from the historic era of cinema?s pioneering years. |
