Audiences who first watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903 were frightened of the very last shot of the movie, and some even ran out of the movie theater to protect themselves.

• A. Why were those audiences so scared, even though the scene would not be scary today?
• B. Do you think any movie could have the same effect on today's audiences? Why or why not?

Hint: You should probably watch the very last few seconds of the movie and reference what it shows in your answer, even if you do not watch the full film.
