Film historians often jokingly refer to this film as the first 'home movie,' as it depicts the filmmaker's home life in a documentary fashion, without any attempt at narrative contrivances.

Contemporary audiences were as fascinated by the movement of the trees in the background as they were by the 'actor's' movements.
