The Great Train Robbery tells the story of a group of bandits attempting to hijack a train, running into multiple problems along the way, eventually leading to the death of the robbers. The most famous shot of this movie is when one of the bandits points a gun directly at the audience, firing multiple shots. This effectively places the audience amidst the action, a revolutionary concept of the time.
Overall this movie was quite engaging, and is able to tell a complete narrative in the space of ten minutes. I was entertained, mostly due to the interesting ways the director managed to capture certain feelings with so little technology.
