The landing of the space capsule on the eye of the Moon has become the film's most iconic scene in cinema history. A Trip to the Moon is undoubtedly the forerunner of sci-fi film. Director Georges Méliès used to be a magician, and he brought the audience to the Moon more than a century ago with his wild imagination and self-invented special effects. His legacy passes on through his bold exploration on the infinite potentialities in filmmaking.
