    Nearly 60 years after the film was released, humans went to the moon, which shows that without such advanced technology, we can live by imagination.

    In 1902, before the Qing Dynasty was over, people had already fantasized about landing on the moon and filmed a complete story. Although there are only 14 minutes, these 14 minutes can be said to be the prototype of too many modern science fiction films, including adventure, war, irony, imagination, and all kinds of joys and sorrows. The restored color film has the magic of a collage fairy tale, and the montages and music are so punk!
