WHY A STEAM-LOCOMOTIVE IS SO TERRIBLE? THE MYTH OF THE "ARRIVAL OF A TRAIN AT LA CIOTAT"
L. Lumiere's film “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat” is still often considered the first in the history of cinema, even though it was not only not shown on the session on December 28, 1895, but also, most likely, was produced only in 1896. This myth is reproducable due to the shock effect of this film made on the first moviegoers, but the principle of this shock is usually explained incorrectly. We prove that it is result of a combination of two factors: media-cultural factor (the first in cultural history active movement from the depth of a flat image) and direct psychological factor (the psychological tendency to false self-interpretations).
