The First Film Ever Made of a Couple Kissing
& One of Edison’s Most Controversial Early Productions
The Kiss (also known as The May Irwin Kiss, The Rice-Irwin Kiss and The Widow Jones) is an 1896 actuality, and was one of the first films ever shown commercially to the public. The film is around 47 seconds long, and depicts a re-enactment of the kiss between May Irwin and John Rice from the final scene of the stage musical, The Widow Jones. The film caused a scandalized uproar and occasioned disapproving newspaper editorials and calls for police action in many places where it was shown. One contemporary critic wrote: “The spectacle of the prolonged pasturing on each other’s lips was beastly enough in life size on the stage but magnified to gargantuan proportions and repeated three times over it is absolutely disgusting.”

“No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.”

“A couple was travelling in a crowded train which went into a long dark tunnel. When it came out of it, the wife whispered “You’ve never kissed me like that before.” He said “I didn’t kiss you at all. It must’ve been that fellow. I’ll teach him.” She sighed and said “You can teach him nothing.”

NEW YORK CITY
A complete collection of all expectations, realized or otherwise. She is not a physical place so much as a secret room that thrives deep inside the hearts of all of us. A shared mindset of every driven person combined into a beautiful Olympics that allows us all to admit that both opportunity and failure are emanate, endless and equally beautiful. For those fortunate enough to happen upon her, you will soon be forced to embrace her tragic whims whole-heartedly or exit her arms immediately and completely.
She writes a well lit but illegible truth across the mouths of poets and architects alike that screams there are no rules in this game nor will there ever be. Your ascent or destruction lies solely in your own hands, back and stomach and the will of the Divine. It is no chance that this wonder is an island, no coincidence that this excited geography lives alone. That is merely God’s best attempt at keeping such a thing away from the rest of the quieter world for both their peace and their inspiration.
Here the attraction and the trap both lie in realizing that there will forever be something waiting around the next corner…depend on this and it will only hinder you from relishing where you currently stand.
She is a perfect and fragile room in our heart that needs our love and attention almost as much as we need her in order to recognize to what extent we are capable of living.
SHE IS NEW YORK.
