Old Mail Coach at Ford, U.S.P.O. (1903) watch online HD

OK, what we basically have here is a static shot of a river disguised as a very big puddle. The film is about a minute long, and for probably fifty seconds of that one minute we gaze blankly at the puddle. An occasional breeze causes its surface to ripple. The trees on the other side of the puddle can be seen reflected in the water. Nothing happens. Then more nothing happens. Then a bit more nothing. Then, suddenly, from out of nowhere, a mail carriage pulled by two horses comes charging down from the top left of the screen to gallop through the water. I can't help thinking they could have given us some kind of warning of all the excitement to come.
