Watching a piece of history

I have a very hard time tracking down this for an essay I was writing for English class.It is very hard to believe how far we have come with movies,this being why.

This is by far,the shortest movie ever produced in cinema history,next to Traffic On Leeds Bridge,which was as short as this.I don't get why people rated this so poorly,being those that rated this a 1-5.This was the late 1800s of course.And it's pretty damn impressive,compared to these 3-D IMax action flicks we have now,that is filled with CGI and explosions.

I give this 10 stars.This was the mother of all movies,and of course one of the first surviving ones.
