Review of The Miller and Chimney Sweep

Wow. A miller and a chimney sweep accidentally bump into each other and quite the fight ensues. It was actually quite fun watching. The miller seems to have the early advantage hitting the sweep repeatedly with his giant flour sack. The chimney sweep proves a worthy opponent though with nicely developed defense skills as he hits back quickly with a way inferior weapon. The most interesting thing about this film is certainly the strong contrast between Black and White and how the flour poured on the sweep becomes quickly almost as white as the miller's dress. Near the end of this 30-second movie, as the two protagonists step out of the picture, a group of people enters and runs behind the two, maybe to stop the fight? Not sure. Okay short film all in all. No real depth, but the action and visual side make it worth a watch for silent film enthusiasts.
