Professor Scorsese Educates While Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2015)

Sesame Street Taught Kids in a way that didn't seem Like School. It made Learning Fun. The Key to Educational Bliss and Success.
Here Director Martin Scorsese attempts to Lecture Neophytes about the very Early Days of Cinema, specifically George Melies and His Magical Box. Talent, Inspiration, Success, and Brilliance, also His Fade to Obscurity brought on by the Ravages of "Time".
Time is a Friend to No One and here Scorsese Pleads for Film Preservation while at the Same Time Breezing through a Children's Story of Loss and Reconciliation. It's a Brilliant attempt and Garnered many Great Reviews and Awards. But Not the Best Box Office Receipts.
Probably Less than One Percent of the People who went to see this Movie had ever Heard of Melies and most Likely many more than that could Care Less.
So Scorsese using 3-D (it has been reported it is one of the best 3-D Movies ever) and a Charming Story filled with Adventure, Frolic, and Suspense, to Force Feed George Melies and Film History to the Multiplexes.
The Film is Wonderful and Beautiful, Heartwarming and Historic. Film Lovers, Film Historians, and Buffs will Undoubtedly Fall in Love with the Movie. Others may take a while to Warm to its Charms.
But even as just Basic Entertainment it Succeeds in Delivering a Family Friendly PG Film that Attentive Youngsters will Enjoy and Parents can Embrace. Some Kids might even Discover that They were Making Movies Over 115 Years Ago (and yes some were in color).
