WOOOW!!!! OLD VANCOUVER!!! SEND ME BACK TO THOES TIMES!!!
The VIENNA WALTZ is an awesome musical accompaniment to this film ! WELL DONE ✌
Amazing how lovely and civilized folks were. And it’s so clean! Sad how we’ve deteriorated.
Speak for yourself.
@@useyournoodle100 shut up
Nice video from back when Vancouver, and for the next 3 decades, a great city which the world did not know existed. From a native "Vancouverite" older that the video.
My Home Town! Born at VGH in Vancouver July 1954. Great Video a window on the past..hard to believe WW2 was raging in Europe and the Pacific.
Loved the video but being of a certain age I keep thinking audiowise I should be seeing a spinning space station and a Pan Am spaceliner; thanks for giving me a new sense of my hometown.
Ah yes, the good old days when Vancouver was a great port city, laid back and beautiful and wonderful to live in and visit. It was like this up until the '80s and Expo 86. Then it all went downhill. Now it's grossly overcrowd and congested, with outrageously high real estate prices and out-of-control condominium development everywhere. All the night life that Vancouver was famous for is dead and gone, taken over by condos and real estate projects. The East End has become a terrible centre of drug addiction, crime, poverty, and homelessness. Compared to how great it used to be, Vancouver in 2022 sucks.
Compared to what other big city?
ur so lucky to hve lived in white vancouver, im so jealous
The Vancouver my grandparents knew.
about 50 years ago my grandfather tried to impart some of his old school knowledge upon me by asking me if I knew why the Hotel Vancouver's roof was the colour it was.....
(obviously having a roof made of copper was unusual and an interesting thing for a young child to learn but.....)
I said, "pigeons?" and giggled.
if there is an afterlife...... I think he's probably still grumpy about that.
Vancouver was very British in those years.
Unfortunately
British Hong Kong?? LOL
@@LHRTW how
Back when the city had character. Now all you see is glass and it all looks the same.
It seems to be more developed than many cities at present
I sometimes wonder if we can bring people from this video’s era to the Vancouver of today, how much would they trip out? What would they recognize?
They may be frustrated for having the Asian Exclusion Act no more !
With the rapid property development, I don't recognize some of Vancouver if I stay away for a few months !!
Hard to believe that was only 20 years before I was born here.
It used to be the best kept secret in N.America and the world. Then came Expo86 and later the Olympics. With these two events came the egotistical preoccupation about having to become a world class city.
What a great city vancouver USED to be
Very British City of Vancouver in the old days.
Amen to that, I remember it very well going back to the '50s.
agreed. used to be.
Now full of homeless
Nice and white, racist and homophobic. Simple times. 😂
Imagine selling all the city and making it unrecognizable.
Where were those houses
1942. Wasn't there a war on?
When Canada was great...God help us now!
God is the one who made it the way it is now, if you believe in god.
What happened?!?
Not a single Japanese person in sight
Good old days, no asians.
Annoying music. The Two Sisters and City Hall only things recognizable by me, although a curious number of men on streets considering 1942.
Filming this in 1942 was inappropriate. It depicts people on a tourist sightseeing tour, young wealthy men playing golf...
In '42, most of the world and many ordinary Canadians were fighting and dying in the war and doing what they can to keep the country free. How would you feel back then if you had a son in the trenches and at the same time you watch the elite living life as if all is normal?
I'd be kind of worried if I they had a son in the trenches, seeing as how in 1942 the vast bulk of Canadians under arms were either in the RCN, the RCAF, or drilling as army units in the UK. The only exception to this point was the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division that participated in Dieppe. While I'm not 100% sure, given the weather I'm willing to bet this was filmed in the summer, which would have put it before the Dieppe raid.
That all being said, Canada had declared war but did not embrace Total War, something that very few powers actually did in WW2 (that being really only some of the major powers, and some of them only belatedly). So it's not shocking that civilian consumption and entertainment is still occurring. And even then, during total war, quite a bit of this still continued to take place as it helped to keep civilian morale up.
I agree with you there. It’s easy to forget people were dying on the other side of the Atlantic while this was filmed.
Curious, how have the majority of everyday people lived in a post 9/11 world? Particularly from 2002 to 2010 at the height of the wars? Did professional sports, vacations, TV shows all take a break? Did anyone really stop and think about the sacrifices of Canadian Forces soldiers or any other participating countries forces? Or were people continuing to vacation, raise families and go on with life?
There is nothing wrong with filming everyday life at any moment. No one is judging. Its like saying its inappropriate of you commenting on RUclips while there is a faming in Yemen and you are just watching RUclips videos instead of thinking about Yemen or the narco-war in mexico. Doesn't make any sense. Grow up. The world is full of people and moments.
You really didnt know anyone that fought in the war then did you? MY grandpa fought on the front lines. He wanted life to go on normally for my grandma and everyone else. Thats why they fought. They all did their part back then. This just shows some nice good times. Everyone did their part. Dont be so naive.
