Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Michael_Elliott English Lancers Charging (1900)*** (out of 4) War picture from Edison lasts just over a minute but we get some great action in that time. The Boers are seen closest to the camera and appear to have the British Lancers held back but soon they advance and take over the battle. This film doesn't contain any trick shots but instead the camera just stays in one place and picks up all the action. This is an extremely well done piece that really does look like something Griffith would be doing a decade later. The action scenes are extremely well done, effective and they never stop. This is the type of early film that you could show anyone and they could get a real kick out of it. This is perhaps one of the most action packed films from this era so it's well worth watching.
