the appeal of ancient film like this one be that you get to see an actual moving image of life over 100 year ago . here be a lot of people leave a factory and all of them dead by now and none of them even remotely aware of the magnitude of the invention that they be walk before . i be shock to read one reviewer call this film as boring a home video today and and at least one other mistakenly identify it a the first film ever make ( it be the first film make at the rate of 16 frame per second and rather than the then normal 46 frame per second ) . sure and all you see be a lot of people file out of a building and passing before the cinematograph on their way home from work and but this be a curiosity piece for dozen of reason and not the least of which be that it be the first film make by the lumiére brother and who probably have a strong impact on the development of the cinema than any other individual or group of individual in history .
