The Sneeze

The film The Snezze showed that from early on, film could make something interesting even if it seems mundane at the time. Also the fact that the sneeze is one of the first films shows that film was being used that way in the beginning, before their was a a movement to make everything on film seem extremely interesting. It also is an amusing example of the power of documentation in film, or its ability to keep a record. It may have seemed experimental to them but to us many years later is on interesting document from a time we never would have been able to see motion from otherwise.
