"The scene of an early screening of the Lumiere short 'Arrival of a
Train at La Ciotat,' thought to have provoked the screams and even
flight of spectators, gave rise to a founding myth of cinema — that
early film spectators were naive and the image for real: 'The absolute
novelty of the moving image therefore reduced them to a state usually
attributed to savages in their primal encounter with the advanced
technology of Western colonialists, howling and fleeing in impotent
terror before the poer of the machine.'"
