The prettiest song not written by George Harrison.

Chokes me up every time. I actually went shopping in Russia in 1992 and saw the bare shelves.

I had this reaction too as an American living in France then returned to California and went to Costco. Oversized Americans in their oversized cars buying oversized portions. Too mamy options. Too many calories. Too many zombies pursuing the "dream".

I worked with a couple of guys who came here from a different country and they had the same reaction when they went to a grocery store to get coffee.they said we're they came from they could only get one type of coffee and they could only get so much food and that was it.

I felt a bit like this when looking for coffee for some friends in a supermarket in my country. I am not a coffee buyer 😜

When my family immigrated from the soviet union as religious refugees, the first time they seen a fully stocked grocery store my mom broke down and cried 😢 It mustve been such an experience seeing so much food as someone who had to survive on scraps most of their lives. My dad spent his first two paychecks on chocolete and ribs 😆

I was listening to a Talk Show host, Sébastien Gorka, who had Hungarian parents but grew up in England. He mentioned going to the supermarket after moving to the US in the early 80's and being mezzmorized by the countless brands of.. YOGURT.. 😉🇺🇲

This reminds me of taking my Cuban girlfriend to the grocery store... 🤣🤣🤣

Yayyyyyy socialism! Reducing millions to poverty and starvation since 1848!

This movie makes very good propaganda for capitalism. The greatest freedom of capitalism is the freedom to watch porn, consume advertising and wear jeans. Who wouldn't want to experience these freedoms of capitalism?

Who's here from TikTok?

I LOVE the Mrs. Lot line, too, JCM. :) Man, years later & the music of Hedwig still sits with me so much. Well done, gentlemen <3

I was baking a cake and needed some vanilla extract for the frosting. I went to my local, ordinary, medium-sized, neighborhood (suburban Chicago) grocery store. They had 11 kinds of vanilla extract to pick from! We live in a great country!

“coffeeeeeagghhhhhhh!” *End Scene*

I wish I could see the chord progression. Wahi' Valleys

This right here gotta be one of the first youtube videos ever the quality it's so trash but it's amazing, Abandoned Pools was such a great a band, wish there was a full good quality live from their 2001 album Humanistic or some remasters or something, that album it's still a hidden gem

Life is trying for the immigrant at the beginning when me and my family came over from Cuba it was difficult

Coffee line...

I live in central Asia, and had similar experience in Thailand, at a Bangkok supermarket. I didn't know there could be so much variety of pastries and bread.

stupid motherfucker trash propaganda movie, bad taste derision and sneer, russia bad america paradise on earth, come on give me a break

I once met a man whose family escaped from the Soviet Union when he was a teenager and he described his first experience with an American supermarket. I never really understood until I saw this movie. This movie should be required viewing for anyone who believes communism/socialism would be good for America.

this is actually based on a real experience Yelsin the Communist Party Leader went into a Texas supermarket after a trip to the space center and freaked out. He quit the communist party soon after.

This is how many of my venezuelan friends/family have felt when they have escaped out

Still my favorite RW movie. He was brilliant.

In the late 80s Gorbachev visited a US supermarket. He saw all the choices available and that common people could buy fresh vegetables and he knew the Soviet system couldn't compete.

This was not long after COSI opened Easter Sunday, March 29 of 1964 and well before the familiar solar front was installed in 1973.

This is the best.

I love this scene so much😂♥️

A blast from the past: at 15:39 is the Burger Boy Fooderama where my future husband and I went on our first date! 😊

I was a junior at OSU that year. Notice that the girls wear skirts, not pants. We were not allowed to wear slacks in the dining hall except once, when it was very cold and classes were cancelled. Notice also that we did not wear backpacks- you had to carry your books in your arms.

That was my freshman year. Brings back some good memories

My family hosted a pair of Soviet cosmonauts during the period of glasnost before the fall of the USSR, for an airshow North of Seattle. My dad took them to the local shopping mall and they were floored. Scary how much America has bent toward becoming what the USSR was. Among the many things they shared, "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work."

Things like this actual happened to Russian defectors Imagine waiting in line for 4 or 5 hours to get sausages so bad dogs would not eat them for most of your life ,and then coming here and walking into Winn-Dixie

I remembered the scene but not what movie it was from. Happy to see it here. :-) We have SOOO much to be grateful for in the USA! And I don't even like coffee...

I was there!

I had a similar large experience in a liquor store in Nashville. I had never been in a liquor store where they had shopping carts and was the size of a smallish WalMart. An entire aisle of vodka. Just froze and stared until a clerk came up to me and asked if I were alright.

Man, what would I do without my 40 flavours of toothpaste? Utter shite.

Mmm, BBF Hamburgers @ 15:33 !!

This deserves a much better transfer to digital. A good professional lab, say in NYC or LA, can do a much better job. Can you get funding from WexArts to do this?

Ah, the good ol days before campus partners.

Love the High St footage. Moe Glassman's at 16:33. (The Green Cab Glassman?) Long's, Hotel Wellington, Char Bar (18:27) (Met comedian Richard Lewis there. (Curb Your Enthusiasm)) Attended 1967 to 1971.

The Lincoln convertible that oozes by Campbell Hall about 2:10 into this has me hooked. We had troops in Vietnam, LBJ in the White House, and a campus that was transitioning from the previous decade into what would become a very different outlook within a few years. Read the Shkurti book Ohio State in the Sixties after viewing this.

So cool. That’s pretty much what it looked like when I started in 1972 but we dressed in bell-bottoms and t-shirts, unless you were in the Greek system. High Street is completely soul-less now.

Holy crap, where did you find this amazing footage? Thank you for uploading this! Contrast and compare to my 1988 version: ruclips.net/video/lEH1IDs2Mgk/видео.html

my city was gone.
