At the deserted Xiaoda station, a middle-aged porter appeared on the right front of the platform, pushing light luggage. The train slowed down, the front of the train pulled out, and the body slowly stopped along the platform. Some passengers came to the carriage. Among them was a Mrs. Auguste Lumiere with two children in white clothes. After the door of the carriage was opened, the bustling passengers were up and down. A young farmer holding a parcel walked to the carriage; a girl in white winter clothes came next and saw the camera accidentally. She naturally showed a shy expression, quietly walked past the camera and boarded the train. During this period, some people approached the camera and watched curiously, and some people half of their bodies occupied most of the camera shots. Finally, the door of the carriage was closed and the train was leaving the platform for a long journey. The picture in the camera disappears

Tarkovsky: I still can't forget that genius movie released in the 19th century, the source of all movies - "The Arrival of the Train". This well-known film by Lumiere was nothing more than the invention of the camera, film, and projector. The work is only half a minute long and depicts a section of the platform under the sun, with gentlemen and ladies walking back and forth, and the train coming directly to the camera from the depths of the scene. As the train approached, there was a commotion in the theater, and people fled. It was at this moment that the movie was born. It's not just a matter of technology, or a new way of interpreting the world, but the birth of a new aesthetic principle. This principle is that, for the first time in the history of art, for the first time in the history of culture, human beings have found a direct way to preserve time. At the same time, this time can be projected onto the screen countless times, reproducing and returning to the time gone by. Humans get a model of real time. Today, time, once seen and recorded, can be permanently (in theory, permanently) engraved in a metal box.
