Only clocking in at 36 seconds or so, this is one of the first actual uses of film as a medium for displaying an action or story (Dickson Greeting is actually known as the first film ever, just made seven years earlier), so this was pretty amazing for the time. Now though, its just thirty odd seconds of three men drinking and banging on some metal.
More of a test of equipment than actually telling a story of some sort, this little piece of cinematic history is just interesting to watch and see where filmaking all started.
Seriously, they are drinking beer and banging metal, it doesn't get any realer than that.
