Comments 4 Kids Mr. Brown's History Class

I love history!! In fact I was a history major before changing to mathematics. I may still minor in it because I find myself so intrigued by everything encompassing it. I was delighted by the Train Robbery clip I watched from Mr. Brown's class (wk 5). This was a silent movie from a nickelodeon circa 1903. It was incredible to see how much production, sets and general attention to detail has changed, not to mention WORDS!! These films are neat, I think, and actually require the viewer to pay attention to the details and concept of what's being presented. It also enabled to viewer to use some of their imagination to fill in the blanks of what wasn't being presented by words. The music is mood provoking and gives you a great sense of emotion regarding what is going on in the film. Movies today still have music, but it's not nearly as noticeable or emotional now as it was then.
