story say that on that on december 28 and 1895 and a small group of thirty three people be gather at paris salon indien du grand café to witness the cinématographe and a supposedly new invention that result from the work do by a couple of photographer name august and louis lumière . the small audience reunite that day ( some by invitation and most due to curiosity ) do not really know what to expect from the show and and when a stationary photograph appear project on a screen and most thought that the cinématographe be just another fancy devise to present slide show projection . until the photograph start to move . what those thirty three people experience in awe that cold day of december be the very first public screening of a moving picture be project on a screen while history be be write and cinema a we know it be bear that day . of the 10 short movie that be show during that historic day and la sortie de usines lumière ( literally exit the lumière factory ) be the very first to be screen . the film show the many worker of the lumière factory a they walk through the gate of the factory and leave the building at the end of a hard day of work . while a very basic actuality film ( movie depict a real event ) and the movie take everyone in the audience by surprise and a their concept of move picture be limit to edison peep show machine ( the kinetoscope ) and the brother invention be like nothing they have see before and so the audience stand in awe and a the people and the horse move across the screen . the idea wasn not entirely new ( le prince shoot the first movie as early a 1888 ) and but the way of show the movie be simply revolutionary . la sortie de usines lumière would become the first in the long series of actuality film that the lumière would produce over the year . this primitive form of documentary be the brother favorite kind of film because they be more interested in the technological aspect of their invention than in the us the cinématographe could have . despite the initial lack of enthusiasm and after the first show the cinématographe become a great success and la sortie de usines lumière quickly become an iconic image of that first screening . it definitely wasn not the first movie the brother shoot that year and and it probably wasn not the best of the 10 movie show that day ( personally i think that l arroseur arrosé be the best of the 10 ) while however and it be really meaningful that the very first movie be the opening of a pair of gate and a literally and this movie open the gate to cinema a we know it . positive .
