10/10
The first comedy with a fictionalized story.
8 May 2022
This film is considered as being the second film ever exhibited to a paying audience. It plays a major role in film history, as being the first movie, that has a fictionalized plot. It also is the first comedy ever shown in a movie theater setting. You can easily find this film with many of the other Lumiere films easily on YouTube these days. Being as they are almost 130 years old, they are part of the public domain and easily can be found. In the 21st century, this has allowed film fans and aspiring filmmakers to take this film and remaster it in color, 4K, 50fps, whatever you want. Either way, the film is actually pretty good, being only 46 seconds long. The comedy revolves around an old trick, but still garners an emotional chuckle from you when you see it. Of course, it does deserve an A+, because it is one of the first movies ever. The film is also known as the Gardener (1895), or L'Arroseur Arrosé (1895).

9.9 (A+ MyGrade) = 10 IMDB.
