"As the longest and most expensive of the early féeries, Le Voyage dans la lune constitutes not only a culmination of Méliès's work but also a significant advance. It mixes theatrical and cinematic devices in both old and new ways, it privileges clous f spectacle by means of extended narrative continuity, and, surprisingly, it experiments with dividing up and reconstituting the autonomous shot-scene."

"The middle section of Le Voyage dans la lune, where the scientists actually explore the moon, may break no new ground in its display of trick effects and spectacular decors, yet that hardly detracts from its achievement. The rocket sinks below the lunar surface, for instance, while the earth seems to rise in the far background sky, a "dream" of celestrial bodies hovers over the sleeping scientists, ending in a shower of snowflakes, and Selenites keep disappearing in puffs of smoke."

"Méliès also created edited sequences by breaking scenes down into several discrete shots, sometimes resulting in an effect of rapid montage, as in Le Voyage dans la lune/A Trip to the Moon (1902), in which the rocket's descent to Earth is shown in a four-shot sequence lasting two-and-a-half seconds."

"Made in 1902, Le Voyage dans la lune was the film that first brought Méliès international fame—and it is the film that, even today, is the most widely recognized of Méliès's works. At first, however, he had difficulty persuading fairground exhibitors to buy it because of the high price resulting from the film's lavish production costs; so he lent the film to exhibitors free of charge for a single showing, confident that its popularity with audiences would convince exhibitors that they would recoup his asking price."

"Le Voyage dans la lune was not only the first science fiction film, but also the first cinematic spoof of the genre."

"In its depiction of the exploration of a faraway place and hostile encounter with alien life forms, Le Voyage dans la lune can easily be read as a parable of colonial conflict."

"Subtending this film is a satire of social hierarchy: the interplanetary explorers' stint at the Selenites' court mirrors the hierarchical structure depicted at the scientific congress, as Barbenfouillis presides over his scientific disciples, the power conferred upon him by his intellectual prowess as arbitrary and absurd as that invoked by the crustacean king. Le Voyage dans la lune ultimately shows that, rather than being safely out of this world, the differences encountered by the intrepid explorers were very close to home."

"The film— Méliès's 400th production—cost him an extravagant 10,000 francs, his most erxpensive project to date. It became a hit around the world almost instantly, largely because of its pioneering special effects and innovative filmmaking techniques, which included double exposures, dissolves and fades, and elaborate sets contrived to depict extraterrestrial spaces. Audiences had never seen anything like it before. It was the 'newest' thing in town, playing at some venues for months."

"In one of his greatest films, A TRIP TO THE MOON (Le Voyage dans la lune), the moon harbors a grimacing man in the moon and the stars a bull's-eyes studded with pretty faces of music hall girls."

"A great number of French, English and American manufacturers of films who are searching for novelties, but lack the ingenuity to produce them, have found it easier and more economical to advertise their poor copies as their own original conceptions. This accounts for the simultaneous appearance in several issues of a well known New York paper of advertisements of the celebrated Trip to the Moonby four or five different concerns, each pretending to be its creator. All these pretensions are false. The Trip to the Moon as well as Gulliver's Travels, The Astronomer's Dream, Cincerella, Red Riding Hood, Blue Beard, Joan of Arc Christmas Dream etc., are the personal creations of Mr. George Melies, who himself conceived the ideas, painted the accessories and acted on the stage.In opening a factory and offices in New York we are prepared and determined energetically to pursue all counterfeiters and pirates. We will not speak twice; we will act."

"Dear Mr. Levy: Your recent letter to Mr. James Beggs asks whether the Apollo (and previous era spacecraft) "splashdown" recovery technique owes anything to George Méliès' film Le Voyage dans la lune. Although the similarities are striking, the recovery technique used for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules was dictated more by the then-current engineering capabilities than any imaginative interplay between the engineers and Monsieur Méliès."

"There can be no understanding between the hand and the head unless the heart acts as mediator."

"Today I will tell you the legend of THE TOWER OF BABEL... "Come, let us build us a tower whose top may reach unto the stars! And the top of the tower we will write the words: Great is the world and its Creator! And great is Man!" But the minds that had conceived the Tower of Babel could not build it. The task was too great. So they hired hands for wages. But the hands that built the Tower of Babel knew nothing of the dream of the brain that had conceived it. BABEL. BABEL. BABEL. BABEL. One man's hymns of praise became other men's curses. People spoke the same language, but could not understand each other..."

""We shall build a tower that will reach to the stars!" Having conceived Babel, yet unable to build it themselves, they had thousands to build it for them. But those who toiled knew nothing of the dreams of those who planned. And the minds that planned the Tower of Babel cared nothing for the workers who built it. The hymns of praise of the few became the curses of the many - BABEL! BABEL! BABEL! - Between the mind that plans and the hands that build there must be a Mediator, and this must be the heart."

"The main thesis was Mrs. Von Harbou's, but I am at least 50 percent responsible because I did it. I was not so politically minded in those days as I am now. You cannot make a social-conscious picture in which you say that the intermediary between the hand and the brain is the heart. I mean, that's a fairy tale – definitely. But I was very interested in machines. Anyway, I didn't like the picture – thought it was silly and stupid – then, when I saw the astronauts: what else are they but part of a machine? It's very hard to talk about pictures—should I say now that I like Metropolis because something I have seen in my imagination comes true, when I detested it after it was finished?"

"[to Barbara] Some excellent judges think that I resemble Satan."

"You have worked in the dark long enough - this is the plan I have been developing for two years. At twelve noon on that day I shall loot the City of San Francisco. Your ten thousand foreign malcontents will filter into the city in small detachments. The signal will be an explosion. By fire and riots I shall draw the police and military into the suburbs.

"I could get him for theft, arson, murder - - but his criminal machine would still grind on. Through the Master I must reach his slaves - the underground powers of the Reds. He's gathered up his dance hall girls and he's put them to work in his house - making hats - thousands of hats. I must know why!"

"He slapped me, Marie. I would have killed him, but they laughed - laughed as if I were a clown."

"You forget, gentlemen - this is a circus - love must wait - - the performance must go on!"

"I say serious things - and people laugh at me!"

"How stupid people are - to laugh at a clown who lets himself be slapped."

"Over a hundred slaps last night, HE - you lucky fellow! Soon you'll be getting famous! But you know what they like - there's nothing makes people laugh so hard as seeing someone else get slapped!"

"In the grim comedy of life, it has been wisely said that the last laugh is the best..."

"Laughter - the bitterest and most subtle death to hope..."

"A strange thing, the heart of a man - that loves, suffers, and despairs - yet has courage to hope, believe - and love - again."

"Years had passed - Paul Beaumont was forgotten - but the laugh was still his. For the brilliant scientist had, with a supreme gesture of contempt, made himself a common clown - In a little circus near Paris, he amused the idle, the ignorant and vicious, with an act of his own fancy - under the expressive name of "HE - Who Gets Slapped" - Five years before, Tricaud had hired the strange clown who desired only to be slapped - and now each night he proudly counted his slaps - and the laughs..."

"Paul Beaumont lived - to laugh at life. He laughed at his wife and the Baron - and left them to the doubtful joy of each other's society."

"What is it in human nature that makes people quick to laugh when someone else gets slapped - whether the slap be spiritual, mental, or physical?"

"The story of the sacrifice made for freedom in the American Revolution is that of a civil war between two groups of English; one group the Americans, being merely Englishmen who settled on the American Continent. The government which Canada and Australia now enjoy was absolutely denied to America through stubborn and false ideas of the autocratic powers guiding the hand of King George the Third. The trouble began England taxed her American colonies to help defray of the French and Indian Wars. The Colonies, not represented in the English Parliament, objected to taxation without representation."

"The King, as well as a certain group around him, failed to understand the spirit of the Colonists who still felt a great attachment to the Mother Country."
