I used to assume people in the past were much more “innocent” until I realised oral sex and the three million other ” creative variants” to derive sexual pleasure can be traced to the very early asian dynasties and all over the world. Every culture did, no matter how conservative they appeared.

Therefore, I have ceased to think that we, people of the 22nd century, are wild.

If you Google it, there are numerous sites citing Monkeyshines, No. 1 as being filmed in 1889 or 1890; here's IMDB, Wikipedia, New York Times. (I think the Lumiere brothers point is more about the birth of cinema whereas Monkeyshines is more about the mechanics of film.)

I think it is practically universally agreed that films originated in 1895 (Lumiere brothers, France). Out of curiosity – who is saying there was an American film made in 1890?

Now that you mention about the image of that woman smoking…I was REALLY suprised. I guess I’ve always thought that woman do not smoke back then, especially Asian woman. Boy am i wrong…she looked like she aint no noobie. LOLX.

it’s good you have been able to restore your old films. we’re i am from i fear we would lose a lot of what we had since most were lost in fire and the remnants no one seem to be paying attention.
