A film within a film, 9 September 2001

Uncle Josh is identified to the audience as the audience. As he watches the picture show, he can't except the reality from the film. What he sees he excepts as real action and not a captured film. For 1902, Uncle Josh represents the people of 1902. Many people were so use to stage performances that they didn't grasp the concept of motion pictures. This film short is actually non-fiction when you think about it.
