How do you envision the moon? What does it mean to you? Due to science, the vast majority of people understand, on a basic level, the inner workings of the moon. Even though you may not think about it, your perception of the moon is likely influenced by scientific explanations of its many parts learned in school or passed down through your parents. The expansion of human knowledge and discovery has done quite a lot for media. The moon has gradually lost its whimsy and charm as we learned more about it. The moon is not a large, grand force anymore, like in Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s’ A Trip to the Moon<\/em>, but it is simply a feature of a landscape or a location in a film about scientific phenomena. This is why A Trip to the Moon <\/em>appears to be so influential, it not only was revolutionary because of M\u00e9li\u00e8s’ use of innovative film techniques and being considered the first sci-fi film<\/a>, but it created a story for the moon where science didn’t at the time. From A Trip to the Moon<\/em> (1902) to First Man <\/em>(2018)<\/a>, the moon has changed greatly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
