Briefly describe the development and origin of movies.

Film, also known as painting. It is a modern art that combines dynamic photography and slide show. It is a comprehensive art that can accommodate literature, drama, photography, painting, music, dance, writing, sculpture, architecture and other arts, but it has its own artistic characteristics. In terms of artistic expression, movies not only have the characteristics of other arts, but also have a means of expression beyond all other arts because montage, a highly artistic skill of film assembly, can be copied and shown in large quantities.

1895, French brothers Auguste Lumiere and Louis Lumiere successfully developed a "movable film machine" based on Edison's "film mirror" and their own "continuous camera". "Movable film machine" has three main functions: photography, projection and printing. It shoots and shows movies at the speed of 16 frames per second, and the images are clear and stable. On March 22nd, 1895, their first film, The Gate of Lumiere Factory, was a success at the French Science and Technology Conference in Paris. In the same year, on February 28th, 14, they officially released a batch of short documentaries made by themselves to the public, including 12 films such as Train Arrives, Watered Gardener, Baby's Lunch and Factory Gate. The Lumiere brothers were the first people to show films on the screen. Historians believe that the filming and screening activities of the Lumiere brothers have been out of the experimental stage. Therefore, they set the first release date of the world film as1February 28th, 895. As the birth date of the film, the Lumiere brothers naturally became the "fathers of the film".
