Moon and Sun get it on. Astronomers like to watch. (original score, mostly)The original title of this film was "L'Eclipse du Soleil en Pleine Lune" ("Eclipse of the Sun and Full Moon") by Georges Melies. Melies is widely regarded as the person who invented special effects in motion pictures. He used his skills as a magician to forever change the way movies were made.This film made its debut 100 years ago in 1907, following Melies' successful "A Trip to the Moon" by five years. Melies himself plays the aged astronomer who "gets no respect" from his rascally students. When the clock strikes, signaling the beginning of the eclipse, the students are genuinely interested. This can be ascribed to their youthful raging hormones and the fact that all astronomers, by default, are voyeuristic perverts.The soundtrack is mostly my rendition of Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens.
