A documentary by the Miles Brothers.
A vehicle drives down Market Street in 1906 with a camera attached to the front.
This film is a glimpse into the distant past and is real beyond reality. Carriages, horses, bicycles and cars share a road with pedestrians and trolley cars for just over 10 minutes. No traffic signals are needed and no accidents happen. This makes me question what is going on with our world today (as with every film). I would like to see a comparative film made in this time, using the same method. I think that the contrast would be overwhelming. For being such a direct film and a piece of history, I'm giving this the best rating.
