A Trip to the Moon (French: Le Voyage dans la Lune)[a] is a 1902 French silent film directed by Georges Méliès. Inspired by a wide variety of sources, including Jules Verne’s novels From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, the film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the Moon’s surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants), and return to Earth with a captive Selenite. It features an ensemble cast of French theatrical performers, led by Méliès himself in the main role of Professor Barbenfouillis, and is filmed in the overtly theatrical style for which Méliès became famous.
Viaje a la Luna (Le Voyage dans la Lune) es una película francesa que se estrenó en 1902 suponiendo una revolución para la época. Su autor, Georges Méliès, fue el primer gran creador del cinematógrafo, el pionero en dotar a las primeras películas de un verdadero argumento. Artista, mago, ilusionista, saltimbanqui, el polifacético Méliès, vio en el nuevo invento del cinematógrafo una forma de aumentar la promoción de sus números. Aunque su estética estaba dominada por la técnica del teatro, concibió numerosos trucos y efectos que incluyo en sus más de 800 películas. La influencia que ha tenido Méliès en la técnica cinematográfica es incalculable, y hoy podemos referirnos a él como el primero en idear el cine como espectáculo.
Viaje a la Luna (1902) es considerada como la primera película de ciencia ficción, y en ella quedan evidenciados los elementos característicos del género (la nave espacial, la exploración de nuevos horizontes…). Algunas de las técnicas cinematográficas más conocidas ya están presentes en esta película, como los fundidos, la sobreimpresión, la utilización de maquetas, etc.
SINOPSIS:
La historia arranca con una reunión de científicos en la que el doctor Barbenfouillis (interpretado por el propio Georges Mélliès) trata de convencer a sus colegas de que participen en un viaje para explorar la Luna. Tras concretar el plan y formar el grupo que realizará la expedición, se ultiman los detalles del viaje y los científicos son disparados en un cohete espacial. La nave aterriza en el ojo de la Luna (imagen ya célebre) y los científicos comienzan a explorar el entorno lunar. No tardan mucho tiempo en encontrar a los habitantes de la Luna, los selenitas, que les capturan y llevan ante su rey. Después de descubrir la forma en la que los selenitas pueden ser vencidos con la utilización de un paraguas, los científicos consiguen escapar y regresar a la Tierra. Allí, tras caer en el mar y ser rescatados, son recibidos en Paris como héroes.
