The part 1:50 from the film, in the window is just a movie screen. They make the scene with the man walking inside the train and they make the camera shakes to train’s moviment impression. And for the “moving window” is just a movie theater screen in the back, and the scene is filmed separetely.
I have heard that some audience member shot back at the screen by instinct. But I don’t know if that’s really true. Sounds kind of reasonable, considering how bizarre it must have been to see images like that for the first time (for many it would have been the first, anyway…)
the part inside the train, in minute 1:50 aprox. is it real? inside? the right window, it doesnt seem like if it were real….but of course its not FX… ?

Actually it came out in 1902. Melies didn’t even become interested in film until 1895 when he saw a demonstration of the Lumière brothers’ camera.

wow. the infamous “the great train robbery.” Seem like a pretty simple plan, huh?

Wow, it feels weird seeing a movie that’s over 100 years old.

Yeah, it’s pretty eerie.

Sometimes in old movies like this, they would actually paint every individual frame in the film reel to get color.

The first Western ever to be filmed.The first film with a real action, is not, as many believe, the journey to the moon.There is an earlier film by Georges Méliès called Cléopâtre from the year 1899.
