1903 – FIRST SILENT MOVIE: THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY

 

[01]     Produced by Thomas Edison, but directed and filmed by Edison company employee Edwin S. Porter, the
[02] 12-minute-long silent film, The Great Train Robbery (1903) was the first narrative movie, that is, one that told a story.
[03] The Great Train Robbery’s popularity influenced directly the opening up of permanent movie theaters and the
[04] possibility of a future film industry.
[05]     The Great Train Robbery is a classic Western with four bandits who rob a train and its passengers of their
[06] valuables and then make their grand escape only to be killed in a shootout by a group of people sent after them.
[07]     Interestingly, the film does not spare on violence as there are both several shootouts and one man being hit with
[08] a piece of coal. Surprising to many audience members was the special effect of throwing the man who was hit over the

[09] side of the train (a dummy was used).
[10]     Also first seen in The Great Train Robbery was a character forcing a man to dance by shooting at his feet – a
[11] scene that has often been repeated in later Westerns. To the audience's fear and then delight, there was a scene in
[12] which the leader of the outlaws looks directly at the audience and fires his pistol at them (This scene appeared either
[13] at the beginning or at the end of the film, a decision left up to the operator).
[14]     The Great Train Robbery not only was the first narrative film, it also introduced several new editing techniques.
[15] For example, rather than staying on one set, Porter took his crew to ten different locations, including Edison’s New
[16] York studio, Essex County Park in New Jersey, and along the Lackawanna railroad. Also, unlike other film attempts
[17] which kept a stable camera position, Porter included a scene in which he moved the camera from one side to the other
[18] to follow the characters as they ran across a creek and into the trees to fetch their horses. However, the most
[19] innovative editing technique introduced in The Great Train Robbery was the inclusion of crosscutting. Crosscutting is
[20] when the film cuts between two different scenes that are happening at the same time.
[21]     The Great Train Robbery was hugely popular with audiences. The approximately twelve minutes of film that
[22] starred Gilbert M. "Broncho Billy" Anderson was played across the country in 1904 and then played in the first
[23] nickelodeons (theaters in which movies cost a nickel to see) in 1905.

A CHRISTMAS STORY
[1]       My five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977, and told me so. Yes, she
[2] still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella with a clear top she’d been talking about. It was great to
[3] observe patterns of rain drops. Books, long flannel nightgown, fuzzy slippers – fine. But really, there was only one
[4] thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.

[5]       This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl, she preferred stuffed animals to dolls, and didn’t like to
[6] play in a structured environment. She was always a make-up-the-rules, design-your-own-world, do-it-my-way kid.
[7] Maybe, I thought, the point wasn’t Barbie, but the house, a domicile she could claim for herself, since we’d
[8] already moved five times during her brief life.
[9]       Next day, I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was adorned with exclamations: “Three
[10] Floors of High-Styled Fun!” “Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!” “Some Assembly Required.”
[11]     Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born, I was raised in apartment
[12] buildings in a family that didn’t build things. A few years earlier, I’d spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall
[13] jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts, I spent the first five days sorting and weeping and the last two
[14] trying to figure out _____ there were so many leftover pieces. The day after I finished building it, as if to remind
[15] me of my limitations, a tornado touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.
[16]     I started assembling the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level, keeping the columns and the
[17] door from looking like they’d melted and been refrozen, and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I
[18] could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping – if, in fact, she was
[19] sleeping – added a layer of challenge. By dawn I was done.
[20]     Shortly thereafter, my daughter walked into the living room, stuffed bear tucked under her arm, pretending to
[21] be shocked and looking as tired as I did. Her surprise may have been false, but her delight was utterly genuine
[22] and moves me to this day, 36 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something I didn’t think I could do. It was
[23] for her, and – like so much of the privilege of being her father – it brought me further outside myself and let me
[24] overcome doubts about my capacities.
[25]     Now that I think about it, there probably was real surprise in her first glimpse of her Barbie Townhouse. Not
[26] at the gift itself but that it had been built and remained standing in the morning light. Or maybe it was simpler than
[27] that: Maybe she was surprised because she’d planned on building the thing herself.
