She really was absolutely stunning. Her smile just lit up the screen. I am going to bet that people 100 years from now will probably be looking at films of us in this century's '20s.
My grandma was born in 1912, and she also died when she was 99 years. I clicked on this video because the women in this video have the same style she had in a school graduation picture. That short wavy hair, loose dress, thin brows and pale face. She was tall thin and a great dancer too. You must be in your late 30's like me or mid 40's. Cheers and I hope you and your grandma meet again someday.
In blissful ignorance of the horrors yet to come, after all, the war to end all wars had just been fought. I would loved to have experienced those times (as a wealthy individual, because, for the poor, little had really changed). The world was opened up, so much, invention, innervation was thriving, music, opportunities for women. Yes, peaceful, for a time. One can only imagine.
1920’s fashion was like no other, what a great decade for fashion, I love this old footage from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s it’s like stepping back in a time machine, really fascinating cause those from 2100/22nd century will look back on us the same way
Material wealth was expressed partly through the way you dressed because in that era industrialized nations were still getting rich producing clothes. It wasn't until after WWII that global capital would permeate into every corner of the Earth, making it desirable to move production overseas.
I’ve never seen anything like this, real footage from the 1920’s that looks realistic! I feel like I’m in a time machine. My mom was born in 1922. She may not even have been born when this was taken. She is 98 now. Love this!
I stand corrected, she was 5 yo when this was filmed. It’s awesome to think that this is what life was like when she was 5yo. However she wasn’t in Paris so it probably wasn’t this exciting, but this movie definitely helps bring to life her old family pictures.
@@FionnghulaThell No, he doesn't mean it like THAT. He is not comparing it to something in the past or something which feels like... Rather it's: Like, I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO OF WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN THE 1920!!! A HUNDRED YEARS AGO!!! WOW, CRAZY! Like that.
@Ryan Vetter It is a surprise/something amazing that we are able to see what life was in the 1920's without BEING in the 1920's. That was more that 100 years ago and we are able to watch that on RUclips.
@Ryan Vetter no, it’s the realism of the restoration that erases the years, the distance and what we expect when we see film this old. This is a new technology.
@Ryan Vetter regular does not just mean the average person. I meant regular as in their ordinary lives. real people living life the way we live life. Taking it a day at a time. I can’t imagine a time before myself. this comment was about me being able to connect to how people lived in the past. Hating dead people you don’t even know the names of is such an unnecessary thing.
@Ryan Vetter Personally don’t see why I need to be extensively educated for just wanting to make a comment about connection to the past. Sure it’s naive and sure I could’ve worded it another way. Not everyone has the best education where they know about world politics of the past. It is amazing nonetheless that we get to witness film from the 20s in a documentary style that is edited so it moves fluidly. This is RUclips and the real current world. I’m just a kid enjoying something I find interesting.
We have and will have less freedom than people in the 1920s. No roaring twenties for us, we had the roaring twenties in the 1990s, today they want to lock us up in a virtual coccoon and micromanage our lives (#TheGreatReset).
The pandemic is just the beginning for what is to come....which is the judgment of Christ. Now is the time to give your life to Jesus and repent of your sins. The righteous of this world who love and fear God will be raptured (soon) right before the coming tribulation. All that is happening is prophesied. There is no going back, please find Jesus
@@harshsharma03 it’s not even about style, it’s a manner and to show respect. The musicians went through many years of training to perform. It’s a culture event. We don’t need to dress up like you’re going to a wedding but seriously? Showing up in sweatpants is comfortable but it’s disrespectful!
One thing becomes clear to me after watching this: We are all here for a little while and then we leave. I know, it sounds obvious, but confronted with this new powerful image enhancer AI, it makes it all the more obvious.
We are here in this life on this earth ...we have a Mission...and we are supposed to realise it successfully....the Mission is : WORSHIP ALLAH...and then we’ll be in heaven for eternity where there’s only the fruit of our efforts today...and this is the TRUTH that many people don’t even know...GET ON THE STRAIGHT PATH..
I took note of all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, everything was vanity. Fear God and observe his commandments, because this is the everything of man. Ecclesiastes 1:14,12:13 (Holy Bible 2500 years)
AI restoration is fascinating. They feed a ton of information (like millions upon millions of images of faces, or trees, or whatever the particular program focuses on), and the AI "learns" from those images. When they run an old image/film through the AI program, the program makes highly educated "guesses" on the missing data (colors, faces, backgrounds, etc.), and fills the missing information in based on its previous learning, giving us a clear, sharp enhanced version.
not only will future AI be able to make it like real but also reconstruct the voices on silent films. there is alot of information that is hidden from current physics
Uhmmmm, it’s only stabilizers and they manually add color. None of this was a.i. generated or “re-designed”, the program only stabilizes the cranky/shaky camera and video, to make it look centered, the only things it re-designs or creates are the corners that get missing on the stabilizing process, manually
It was the first time in history where fashion started to look like pop culture & love it !!! I bet the 1920’s seemed so futuristic for that generation, also cars became mainstream, telephone, radio, clubs, skyscrapers, apartments, and contemporary cities etc, just imagine
I think that the *Art Deco* and *Art Moderne* styles from that time *still* looks stylish and modern today. They applied the Art Deco style in the 1920's to buildings, ships, furniture, cafés and people today still love that style. As for the fashion - well, you're quite right in that it starts to look like pop culture. If one just goes back to the dressing code of 1900-1914 it looks really old-fashioned by comparison and it seems like they forever stuck in the 1850's and just wanted to follow that line/tangent with slight alterations. In the 1920's they realized the simply couldn't have women walk around in giant hats and wide dresses which required a small army of assistants to get into and that men too needed something more "pragmatic" (read actually usable). In the 1920's women also wear short dresses which exposed their legs - something which had been utterly unthinkable prior to WWI. Hats were more simple and made it possible to get close to each other without bumping into them making interaction in public difficult. Speaking of the war, it's quite evident that the horrors of the war sent shockwaves into society and culture and it tore up the old rulebook of what was allowed in art, writing, fashion, architecture, psychology and (naturally) pop culture. It's also fair to say people wanted a fresh start and "something new" to distance themselves from the war and look forward into the future. Radios must have been amazing because now you didn't have to go to some concert hall, a gazebo, a large park or restaurant to hear live music being performed at certain times a week, you could just listen to it all day long at home. Either the radio brought the concert to you (cabled live performances) or they played records (also just entering mainstream) of popular music. And since you just had to pay for the radio and not pay for a ticket to go and see an orchestra perform live music this must have been like "streaming music" was to us in the 00's. The music also broke the mold. "Forbidden music" like jazz, blues and swing became mainstream. It's also interesting to note how the invention of easily manufactured records changed the music too. I found this on the net: "The 1920s was the decade that marked the beginning of the modern music era. The music recording industry was just beginning to form and a myriad of new technologies helped to create the way music was made and distributed. The way the music was recorded changed in the mid-1920s when the acoustical recording process was replaced with the electrical process. This change made the way that recordings were made sound much better and more natural, helping to expand the popularity of recorded music. As the recording process improved, a number of independent record labels also began to appear during the 1920s. These record labels helped to expand the modern music industry because they took risks and and were more adventurous with their song and artist choices." "Prior to the creation of the recorded music industry, popular music was shared through sheet music, piano rolls, and live shows. The second influential technology that helped to create the modern music industry was commercial radio." Apartments were born out of necessity because the often old and unsafe wooden shacks and hastily assembled houses for workers were rapidly becoming too cold, too cramped, too outdated and just too "village-like" to have around in great numbers in the cities. Naturally they came in different sizes and luxury levels which is why the wealthier could afford nice penthouses or panoramic views overlooking parks or a main street. Either way this broke with the previous tradition of 1 family - 1 house. They suddenly became used to another level of interaction. Movies took off too in the 1920's since feature length films didn't even exist at all until 1915 (the controversial "Birth of a Nation"), films with sound were invented so people finally saw films the way they were meant to (no guessing what was being said and then given a cue card between the scenes). John Logie Baird invented the first working television in 1926 too so people in the 20's knew that they would soon get to enjoy "picture radios" too. So, yet the 1920's did indeed very futuristic for the people who lived in that era. A lot of social progress was made too with women given voting rights and in Germany (the Weimar Republic) they even had bars for homosexuals. It's a real shame all that ended with the Great Depression in 1932. Sadly this also exacerbated extremism and hatred. Some people hated the new era and wanted to go back to the "good, old days of order and decency". It's no coincidence the nazis in Germany always appealed to such people because they considered the music, fashion, movies, art and culture "degenerate" and "un-German". The nazis even went so far as to burn books they considered "degenerate" and "un-German". My point being is that many eras have had their progressive people embracing modern culture and living but they also have reactionary forces wanting to turn the clock back and these unfortunately are still among us. Anyways, this must have been an amazing era to witness and fundamentally different to how the world was merely 20 years prior. If we go back to 2001 nothing much is different aside from smart phones and wireless internet.
@@katewilliams4013 Hi Kate! You are a pretty well informed young person! Are a historian? I think that you got a high classical education's level. Congratulations !Greetings from France.
@@alfredvikingelegant9156 Not a historian, just a keen interest on history and how it formed the world and the culture we're living in. People always say that history teaches us that we don't learn from history. I'd disagree and say that it shaped us by the lessons we got - not always nice ones.
I don’t know if you guys feel the same but I get so depressed to think that I will never be able to experience this life. The life without phones. The life where you wait anxiously to receive a letter that could be lost on the way. A life where people love with intensity. I don’t know... maybe it’s just me
I agree *to an extent* . I feel that people forget life back then wasn’t rainbows and sunshine. There was WW1, The Great Depresión, WW2, women were considered objects, black people were still thought of as lower and dirty life forms, mentally ill people were tortured, etc. Life was only truly great at that time if you were a rich and white man. But yes, on a superficial level, it does seem nice.
@@kaleycooper9111 Sure, but it wasn't all bad either, even if you weren't a rich, white man. For women, the 1920s were a time of great possibility where they felt freer than ever before. WWI was over and the Great Depression had not yet begun. It was a time of prosperity, right before one of the most tragic times in history.
@@simfimpim Are you a woman? There were no "great" possibilities for women in the 1920s where they felt freer than ever before. It's still the same, no equality.
@@thematriarchy2075 Yes I am. And yes, the 1920s were a decade of great possibility. Women got the vote and there was relative prosperity before the awful events to come in the next decades. Do you think that women walked around miserable every day in the past? People's priorities were different back then. You can't judge the past by today's standards. Also, women might not have been equal to men, but the previous decade and those to come would cause the greatest loss of life of young men, many merely boys, in centuries. To be perfectly honest, men didn't have it that great either.
Fuck fashion. One of the most superficial and pointless things people ever invented. People genuinely think they are better or more interesting/special than other people for wearing different clothes.
@@AsiaMinor12 I somewhat agree with you that many people use fashion to make a status statement and that's always wrong and. superficial but there are many who also wear good clothes and fashion to celebrate the creativity of the people who design them and tell them world that they appreciate art and design and creativity. I like people who style because you can't buy style and style never goes out of fashion. The people who wear fashion to show off their wealth are posers.
@@gavrochethenardier957 to an extent I think I can. The 20s seemed like an optimistic time. Who would have predicted a depression and another world war?
@@phatcat3705 very true! Another parallel is the advancement in technology these young adults witnessed during the turn of the century. I feel being born in 1981 vs someone born in 1881 had similarities. We experienced the rise of the internet and smartphones that changed the way we're able to connect while they witness telephones and airplane. I wonder if people in the 1920s ever said "God I missed the 90s" like we do today 😄.
I find this so heartwarming, is interesting to notice that they are wearing regular clothes, and to think that in a 100 years there will be our videos, even the tiktoks gonna be wholesome when you realize those are our memories .... gosh I really want to leave a couple of centuries, so much to see, so much to live for
Not really, in 100 years people are going to be laughing at us and saying how cringe amd delusional we were, that we couldn't even dress properly and that we didn't even know what a woman was
My great-grand mother was 6 years old during this time. She died in 2003 at the age of 89. Such a weird feeling to know that all people in this video are dead (probably babies and your children are still alive). We are all passengers in this world.
She was actually 12. You said she died in 2003 at the age of 89, and calculating that, she could've been born in 1914, 12 years before 1926, the year this was filmed.

The couple in 1:07 you can tell he's totally infatuated with his girlfriend. He just sits there giving her kisses and probably telling her he loves her and she just sits there like "I know" 😁🥰
These people looked happy. Unlike us. I love how not awkward women were dancing with each other. I once saw a vid during wartime of men dancing to music together. Like absolutely no labels, just soldiers in wartime, dancing an evening away. I miss innocence
@@h.r613 True. But watch old videos of soldiers dancing with one another. Nothing gay about it. There were no women around... And it was war. I'm sure there were some that were gay... But the grand majority just wanted something to do on a Saturday in the barracks. Can you imagine the first two guys that straight up were like, "we are gonna dance together, and like... whatever" in like 1941? Lol
I love the outfit worn by the young short-haired lady at 1:06! What a nice tied bow detail on the side; the tiny buttons on the front are adorable; and the pastel colour, geometric pattern fabric is exquisite! That bit could have been enhanced even better, so that starting from 1:07 the back of the lady wouldn't have been white and the pattern would still have been noticeable. What a wonderful job, though and what a great initiative!
I doubt very much he was just dressed as a sailor , he was part of a group as you can see in the film . Probably on shore leave in Paris .

@@Giorg189 That's strange question. Two points on that: 1)These are womens fashions of the era. I'm pretty sure these ladies, were aiming to be dressed like (fashionable) women. 2)There are transgender men and transgender women, which would dress according to the gender they identify with. At the time of this clip, Im not sure these people had a concept of what we (in 2021) think of transgender. Do you mean drag?
I feel so sad watching videos like these because it reminds me of how fragile our life is. Here today, gone tomorrow. You become a memory just like these people. How sad.
Magnifique et emouvante vidéo, ça c'est du travail de grande qualité ! On peut néanmoins constater que la circulation automobile à Paris était déjà un véritable enfer même à cette époque 😁
It’s strange to think that everyone in this video eventually grew old and passed away. They lived their lives and are now being shown decades later to thousands of people
When I used to look at black and white photos/videos from a long time ago, people seemed so separate from us, truly from a different era. When the films are colorized, they look like normal people, like us. It's so weird. I love seeing these films.
This is wonderful, it looks so fresh and current, not like an old time newsreel played back too fast. This would have been Hemingway’s Paris, with Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein. Like the movie Midnight in Paris, it feels like time travel.
Great film restoration. I had no idea until now how popular in France the "landaulette" body style on automobiles was where the rear portion of the roof folds down. I don't smoke, but here I want to join in and light up while I sip my cafe!
@Bren Brantley haha true when people who've been caged for their entire lives are suddenly set free, moral righteousness and self discipline often take a back seat.
Well, you still got the colored hair teens with the holes in the pants of today rambling in the streets. Are you sure that they are not at the same level of fashion and finesse ? 😂😂😂😂
It's such a weird and amazing experience to see people from the 20s speaking, moving and walking like "regular people" because our reference from this era are silent films, which were shot and shown in a different frame from nowadays films.
Camera quality at that time couldn't pick up detail and so people's faces seemed a lot more smoother and brighter due to this, had it been filmed on any cellphone today then the differences would be very apparent.
The Lady at 0:29 is so graceful and elegant.Such a beautiful smile for the camera when she realizes she is being filmed.My guess is she was a very friendly person
This restoration looks amazing! Like actually being there. Its hard to believe that this was taken in the 1920s (it sure looks authentic but the video quality seems too good, even knowing it was enhanced/restored). I imagine the sound was added from another source to make it feel more real.
Back when people cared about how they dressed and men actually combed their hair and dressed neatly and kept their shoes shined. Nobody does that anymore. Nobody has personality. Everyone is a zombie on a cell phone .
People still care about how they dress: at least I do. But you gotta enjoy the present we live much confortable lives than my great-grandparents and all those other people did in the 1920s. We have acess to the internet, RUclips, live music streaming services. We should appreciate the present and use all the countless opportunies that we have
Remember when men and women actually socialized, dated, and respected each other? Now it's all tinder, sex, and playing games on your phone during dinner instead of talking to your partner. Makes me miss a time I was never a part of.

My grandma was born in 1912, and she also died when she was 99 years. I clicked on this video because the women in this video have the same style she had in a school graduation picture. That short wavy hair, loose dress, thin brows and pale face. She was tall thin and a great dancer too. You must be in your late 30's like me or mid 40's.

The roaring twenties and when people wanted to forget the horrors of war.
In blissful ignorance of the horrors yet to come, after all, the war to end all wars had just been fought. I would loved to have experienced those times (as a wealthy individual, because, for the poor, little had really changed). The world was opened up, so much, invention, innervation was thriving, music, opportunities for women. Yes, peaceful, for a time. One can only imagine.
They remembered quickly enough.
and into the next war
Before the next one.
And the Spanish Flu!
1920’s fashion was like no other, what a great decade for fashion, I love this old footage from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s it’s like stepping back in a time machine, really fascinating cause those from 2100/22nd century will look back on us the same way
Not really, for us they'll probably look back and say "man, they really dressed horribly in the 2020's"

Material wealth was expressed partly through the way you dressed because in that era industrialized nations were still getting rich producing clothes. It wasn't until after WWII that global capital would permeate into every corner of the Earth, making it desirable to move production overseas.
What a contrast then to today’s fatty patty burger Karens and the angry Disney moms.
It’s before anti-intellectualism started going crazy in the 1930s world wide. No being unkept and ignorant are seen as being a badge of honor.

I’ve never seen anything like this, real footage from the 1920’s that looks realistic! I feel like I’m in a time machine. My mom was born in 1922. She may not even have been born when this was taken. She is 98 now. Love this!
it was taken in 1927.....
I stand corrected, she was 5 yo when this was filmed. It’s awesome to think that this is what life was like when she was 5yo. However she wasn’t in Paris so it probably wasn’t this exciting, but this movie definitely helps bring to life her old family pictures.

@Ryan Vetter Personally don’t see why I need to be extensively educated for just wanting to make a comment about connection to the past. Sure it’s naive and sure I could’ve worded it another way.

It is amazing nonetheless that we get to witness film from the 20s in a documentary style that is edited so it moves fluidly. This is RUclips and the real current world.

AI restoration is fascinating. They feed a ton of information (like millions upon millions of images of faces, or trees, or whatever the particular program focuses on), and the AI "learns" from those images. When they run an old image/film through the AI program, the program makes highly educated "guesses" on the missing data (colors, faces, backgrounds, etc.), and fills the missing information in based on its previous learning, giving us a clear, sharp enhanced version.
some day soon the machine learning will get so good you will think somebody time traveled a 4k camera back to those times

It was the first time in history where fashion started to look like pop culture & love it !!! I bet the 1920’s seemed so futuristic for that generation, also cars became mainstream, telephone, radio, clubs, skyscrapers, apartments, and contemporary cities etc, just imagine
HEY DUDE
I think that the *Art Deco* and *Art Moderne* styles from that time *still* looks stylish and modern today. They applied the Art Deco style in the 1920's to buildings, ships, furniture, cafés and people today still love that style. As for the fashion - well, you're quite right in that it starts to look like pop culture. If one just goes back to the dressing code of 1900-1914 it looks really old-fashioned by comparison and it seems like they forever stuck in the 1850's and just wanted to follow that line/tangent with slight alterations. In the 1920's they realized the simply couldn't have women walk around in giant hats and wide dresses which required a small army of assistants to get into and that men too needed something more "pragmatic" (read actually usable).
In the 1920's women also wear short dresses which exposed their legs - something which had been utterly unthinkable prior to WWI. Hats were more simple and made it possible to get close to each other without bumping into them making interaction in public difficult.
Speaking of the war, it's quite evident that the horrors of the war sent shockwaves into society and culture and it tore up the old rulebook of what was allowed in art, writing, fashion, architecture, psychology and (naturally) pop culture. It's also fair to say people wanted a fresh start and "something new" to distance themselves from the war and look forward into the future.
Radios must have been amazing because now you didn't have to go to some concert hall, a gazebo, a large park or restaurant to hear live music being performed at certain times a week, you could just listen to it all day long at home. Either the radio brought the concert to you (cabled live performances) or they played records (also just entering mainstream) of popular music. And since you just had to pay for the radio and not pay for a ticket to go and see an orchestra perform live music this must have been like "streaming music" was to us in the 00's.
The music also broke the mold. "Forbidden music" like jazz, blues and swing became mainstream. It's also interesting to note how the invention of easily manufactured records changed the music too. I found this on the net: "The 1920s was the decade that marked the beginning of the modern music era. The music recording industry was just beginning to form and a myriad of new technologies helped to create the way music was made and distributed. The way the music was recorded changed in the mid-1920s when the acoustical recording process was replaced with the electrical process. This change made the way that recordings were made sound much better and more natural, helping to expand the popularity of recorded music. As the recording process improved, a number of independent record labels also began to appear during the 1920s. These record labels helped to expand the modern music industry because they took risks and and were more adventurous with their song and artist choices."
"Prior to the creation of the recorded music industry, popular music was shared through sheet music, piano rolls, and live shows. The second influential technology that helped to create the modern music industry was commercial radio."
Apartments were born out of necessity because the often old and unsafe wooden shacks and hastily assembled houses for workers were rapidly becoming too cold, too cramped, too outdated and just too "village-like" to have around in great numbers in the cities. Naturally they came in different sizes and luxury levels which is why the wealthier could afford nice penthouses or panoramic views overlooking parks or a main street. Either way this broke with the previous tradition of 1 family - 1 house. They suddenly became used to another level of interaction.
Movies took off too in the 1920's since feature length films didn't even exist at all until 1915 (the controversial "Birth of a Nation"), films with sound were invented so people finally saw films the way they were meant to (no guessing what was being said and then given a cue card between the scenes).
John Logie Baird invented the first working television in 1926 too so people in the 20's knew that they would soon get to enjoy "picture radios" too.
So, yet the 1920's did indeed very futuristic for the people who lived in that era. A lot of social progress was made too with women given voting rights and in Germany (the Weimar Republic) they even had bars for homosexuals.
It's a real shame all that ended with the Great Depression in 1932. Sadly this also exacerbated extremism and hatred. Some people hated the new era and wanted to go back to the "good, old days of order and decency". It's no coincidence the nazis in Germany always appealed to such people because they considered the music, fashion, movies, art and culture "degenerate" and "un-German". The nazis even went so far as to burn books they considered "degenerate" and "un-German". My point being is that many eras have had their progressive people embracing modern culture and living but they also have reactionary forces wanting to turn the clock back and these unfortunately are still among us.
Anyways, this must have been an amazing era to witness and fundamentally different to how the world was merely 20 years prior. If we go back to 2001 nothing much is different aside from smart phones and wireless internet.

I agree *to an extent* . I feel that people forget life back then wasn’t rainbows and sunshine. There was WW1, The Great Depresión, WW2, women were considered objects, black people were still thought of as lower and dirty life forms, mentally ill people were tortured, etc. Life was only truly great at that time if you were a rich and white man.
But yes, on a superficial level, it does seem nice.
@@kaleycooper9111 Sure, but it wasn't all bad either, even if you weren't a rich, white man. For women, the 1920s were a time of great possibility where they felt freer than ever before.

@@simfimpim Are you a woman? There were no "great" possibilities for women in the 1920s where they felt freer than ever before.

@@thematriarchy2075 Yes I am. And yes, the 1920s were a decade of great possibility. Women got the vote and there was relative prosperity before the awful events to come in the next decades. Do you think that women walked around miserable every day in the past? People's priorities were different back then. You can't judge the past by today's standards. Also, women might not have been equal to men, but the previous decade and those to come would cause the greatest loss of life of young men, many merely boys, in centuries. To be perfectly honest, men didn't have it that great either.

@@samsum3738 It's not a sailor. It's a kid. Dressing up kids as sailors was a common thing on the break of 19th to 20th century.
Magnifique et emouvante vidéo, ça c'est du travail de grande qualité !
On peut néanmoins constater que la circulation automobile à Paris était déjà un véritable enfer même à cette époque 😁
This is so fluid. It's not perfect obviously but I've never seen 1920s footage look this lifelike before.
It’s strange to think that everyone in this video eventually grew old and passed away. They lived their lives and are now being shown decades later to thousands of people
Very strange
When I used to look at black and white photos/videos from a long time ago, people seemed so separate from us, truly from a different era. When the films are colorized, they look like normal people, like us. It's so weird. I love seeing these films.
Exactly!!
✋✨ Hello
Et là tu réalise à quel point le style vestimentaire est parti en noix de cajou.
🤣 ça change des cacahuètes tiens !
Malheureusement.
What he said. ⬆️
C'est pas très... comment dirais-je... pepitaresque ! En tout cas, moi j'ai KIFFÉ CETTE VIDÉO BORDEL !
C'est surtout là que tu réalises que le grand remplacement est bien en cours, contrairement à ce que nient les aveugles et autres gauchistes.
This is wonderful, it looks so fresh and current, not like an old time newsreel played back too fast. This would have been Hemingway’s Paris, with Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein. Like the movie Midnight in Paris, it feels like time travel.
Great film restoration. I had no idea until now how popular in France the "landaulette" body style on automobiles was where the rear portion of the roof folds down. I don't smoke, but here I want to join in and light up while I sip my cafe!
Why is everyone so beautiful and stylish?😂😂 their fashion sense in 1920 is better than mine in 2021😂
@Bren Brantley haha true when people who've been caged for their entire lives are suddenly set free, moral righteousness and self discipline often take a back seat.
Well, you still got the colored hair teens with the holes in the pants of today rambling in the streets. Are you sure that they are not at the same level of fashion and finesse ? 😂😂😂😂
Same as in medieval times when they wore colourful posh clothes, you needed to show everyone that you are the bestest, most classy person around.
Because they only filmed the well-off and stylish people. Don't assume this is how everyone looked!
I find some of it kinda weird tho yeah it does look good
00:34 looks like Mr.Bean at the back
god damn
now thats on point :)
ha yeah probably his grandpa
@@pinklightning6520 Nope, Probably Related Though
Wow, the smile that emerges right after 0:35 is incredible. Humanity is a trip.
The woman sitting down smiling at the camera is actress Pola Negri. You can recognize those eyes anywhere.
But in reality, when this lady came and began to sit, she had weight and prestige
It's such a weird and amazing experience to see people from the 20s speaking, moving and walking like "regular people" because our reference from this era are silent films, which were shot and shown in a different frame from nowadays films.
Hello Carla, how are you doing?
This videos makes me feel like I'm traveling in the time and watching them live
This was absolutely amazing! I felt like I took a trip back in time.
Those people may be long gone but as long as this footage exists and people keep watching it they will remain immortal.
Hello, how are you doing?
No internet, no mobile phones , amazing
The voice at the end is Annette Hanshaw. She almost always signed off her songs with “That’s all!”
Everyone is so well dressed and fit, wow!
I didn't even know people could be this beautiful- like wow
Because they were on Drugs. Drugs like Cocaine, heroin, etc. were allowed at that time.
Camera quality at that time couldn't pick up detail and so people's faces seemed a lot more smoother and brighter due to this, had it been filmed on any cellphone today then the differences would be very apparent.
They are glowing with happiness
@@iche9373 Drugs do NOT make you prettier lolol
@@llJeshooinessll it gives you the self-confidence to get you to look better by using Make up etc.
The Lady at 0:29 is so graceful and elegant.Such a beautiful smile for the camera when she realizes she is being filmed.My guess is she was a very friendly person
When Paris was Paris and had it's Joie de Vivre 😀❤😀
Where's Hemingway in this one? :)
It's great to see old clips in color.
This restoration looks amazing! Like actually being there. Its hard to believe that this was taken in the 1920s (it sure looks authentic but the video quality seems too good, even knowing it was enhanced/restored). I imagine the sound was added from another source to make it feel more real.
Back when people cared about how they dressed and men actually combed their hair and dressed neatly and kept their shoes shined. Nobody does that anymore. Nobody has personality. Everyone is a zombie on a cell phone .
An asexual zombie, to be exact
People still care about how they dress: at least I do. But you gotta enjoy the present we live much confortable lives than my great-grandparents and all those other people did in the 1920s. We have acess to the internet, RUclips, live music streaming services. We should appreciate the present and use all the countless opportunies that we have
Its a different era dude. This was the style back then. Now the style is different. Get over it
Remember when men and women actually socialized, dated, and respected each other? Now it's all tinder, sex, and playing games on your phone during dinner instead of talking to your partner. Makes me miss a time I was never a part of.
@@Peach-dh9pe It's not different, it just sucks.
