When was the first movie released in history?

Okay, so you want my honest, kinda scattered, but hopefully helpful take on the first movie ever? Here goes...

The documentary "The First Film" (2015) explores the mystery surrounding the oldest films. It’s like, trying to pinpoint the first is tricky.

I've always wondered about film's origins. Remember visiting the Lumière brothers' exhibit in Lyon, France, back in July 2018? Amazing.

Now, "The First Film" dives deep, suggesting Louis Le Prince might hold the key, his work predating even the Lumières. So confusing, right?

Le Prince's 1888 Roundhay Garden Scene—yeah, that's like, a contender. It’s REALLY short, seconds long, but hey, it's something.

I can't find the official date of the first film recorded in history. I can tell you that "Roundhay Garden Scene" was filmed in 1888.

The film was recorded in Roundhay Garden, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. Think about what all went in to that, insane.

The mystery surrounding Le Prince's disappearance? Super spooky. It adds another layer to the whole "first film" saga, ya know?

I’m not a hundred percent sure it’s truly “the first”, but it's a cool piece of history. Now, time for more research, so fun.
