I just discovered this film the other day and was surprised at how interesting it was. Yes if it were to be made today it would be shot on the spot, but nobody expected anything from movies back then and I'm sure the people who originally saw it thought it was great.
I also admire the actors for having to rely solely on body language to tell the story and express what's going on, because obviously it's a silent film and has no sound.
I especially think that the costumes, props, and backgrounds look pretty good, even though the card procession was obviously shot in on a park road. :)
I just appreciate it for what it is, one of the first films ever filmed and some pretty good looking effects.
