What inspired the Lumiere brothers in France to invent the film machine?

The Lumiere brothers are the founders of modern movies, also known as the "fathers of modern movies". Inspired by the sewing machine, they successfully developed a manually adjusted film projector on the basis of Edison's "Western Mirror", thus inventing the film. It can be said that without them, there would be no movie we are watching in the cinema now. Their invention process is related to their father Anthony Lumiere, who is a portrait painter and award-winning photographer, and their brother has been influenced by art since childhood.

188 1 year, 17-year-old Louis became interested in photographic films made by his father. Louis improved the dry plate technology studied by chemists and created a new technology called "blue plate". His success led to the opening of a new factory in his family. With the gradual development, Lumiere's family runs the largest photography factory in Europe.

On this basis, their father encouraged them to develop a device that can show movies on the screen. One year later, the Lumiere brothers succeeded. 1985, they applied for a patent for this kind of equipment, which can not only expand the field of vision of Edison's single peephole outside the audience, but also be portable and portable, providing more freedom for the operators and promoting the development of modern movies.

1895, Lumiere brothers held the world's first public film screening. This film is the gate of Lumiere factory, and its clarity and realism caused a great sensation at that time. 1896, Lumiere brothers opened a hand-held movie screening hall, showing many films about daily life in France, which completely opened the door to the movie world.

The invention story of the film machine;

/kloc-one night at the end of 0/894, when Louis Lumière was designing the simulation diagram of film transmission, it suddenly occurred to him that when sewing clothes with a sewing machine, the material was just doing a "move and stop" movement. When the sewing machine needle is inserted into the cloth, the cloth does not move; When the sewing machine sews a needle and stands it up, the material moves forward. Isn't this very much like the way movies are spread? So, he told his brother Auguste Lumière excitedly that he could pull the adhesive tape with the movement generated by sewing machine presser foot and other machinery. When the traction mechanism rises again, the sharp claw will retreat from the hole at the lower end, making the film static. After the experiment, Lewis's idea is really feasible. Later, August said in an article: "My brother invented the film machine in one night."
