Just think about all the other changes during those years!...Automobiles took over the streets, airplanes became practical, some advances in medicine took place...Einstein and other brilliant scientists made amazing discoveries...People from the earlier generations must have been just astonished at the changes...just like I am now, with the computer revolution, cell phones, etc. Time marches on!
We actually still used these old trains and trams when I was a small child in East Berlin back in the late 1970's... really adventurous and very noisy rides 😊💕
As I was watching this, I was wondering if any of these people were Jewish. Did any of these people turn Jews in or did they protect them? It is so difficult to watch some of these old clips, knowing what came next. It's hard to separate vintage style vs vintage values.
What a difference a century can make. We go from the roaring 1920's a decade of peace, prosperity and good economic and living conditions for most people. Now to the 2020's, a decade so far of depression, huge economic inequality, Covid, the decay of society( teaching children how to be gay or perverts), religious intolerance or bigotry, threats of war, nuclear or economic annihilation, total political collapse among nations, etc
The sharpness and elegance of the everyday dress of that era is so evident. Today you have people in sauce-stained track suits, torn jeans and caps on backwards sitting in restaurants or nice concert halls. It's the Dumbing Down of our collective appearance compared to decades ago!
@breadandcircuses8127 because it's true. But there are several reasons for that, it's not just "dumbing down" it's also the way culture changes. Clothes are not on the same level as status symbols anymore, and nobody wears a hat anymore.
Me too! It was the most amazingly quick social shift. I compare it to the MeToo movement of now. For thousands of years, there was a rule book that everyone collowed and, overnight, women (who finally had the power of the wallet) said: NOPE. We've had enough. New Rules- time."
Took me back in time. What a wonderful clip. It felt like we were there, from the future, watching these people enjoy themselves. What struck me how well dressed, presentable and proportionate people were back in the day. I can just watch this all day - I am a history buff. Loved this. thank you
I really think this is my favorite historical video I’ve ever seen! Love playing with the speeds and slowing it down. I also had the same thought about how everyone looked. I also love just how natural everyone is as well, and how connected everyone seems - not only to others - but themselves. Just living life - not living for social media.
My grandmother was 9 years old at that time, it is really interesting and a bit odd, to see the world she grew up in, it looks so far away from today and yet when I try to imagine her as a little kid running down the streets that looked like this it brings a smile to my face. What a precious time capsule these videos are and they make the past so much closer.
This is only a fraction of that world. What normal people saw every day at that time was vice and sin running rampant in the streets. For example, child prostitution was left unchecked, and the pimps and johns had their own codes that were fairly easy to crack, such as "I've been sick for 12 years and require a red pill" meaning that the buyer wanted a 12-year-old redhead.
I wish this were an hour long at least - beautifully composed! The atmosphere in color and sound breathes life in a way I can almost smell it. I could just watch all day. Belissima! Fantastic work!
@@icecycles859 The Great Depression started following the Wall Street Crash in 1929. Hitler came to power in 1933. World War 2 started in September 1939. The war in Europe ended in May 1945 and ended with the surrender of Japan in August 1945. So a couple of years after this film was taken, life was never the same.
There was so much beauty and a time of peace . No tattoos up and down woman and men … no ungodliness … no school shootings .. no fentanyl . What a blessing . Jesus pour the Blood and Peace of Christ

I just happened to finish reading “Three comrades” by Erich Maria Remarque. It is set in late 1920s in Berlin, and, while narrating a beautiful and poignant love story, it also reflects on hardship and despair that majority of Germans lived with. One of the best books I’ve read…
I knew a man who had homemade movies of Potsdamer Platz in the 1930's. It was stunning and gorgeous with marble statuary and fountains. I saw it in 1993 and there was nothing left but a field of gravel, a few sections of the Berlin Wall, and a lone Wurstwagon. And I met an old man who said Berlin bleibt Berlin. I guess that's an old saying. One thing is for sure, people could really dress back then. Love those hats.
Absolutely fascinating. I’ve just been rewatching this while drinking my coffee, playing with slowing down speeds and I just can’t get over everything about this.
I love this so much that I have to watch in 10 second increments as there is just ... I can't even explain it. Thank you! This has more in raw reality and history than anything else ever!
This is amazing - especially trying to make the sound match a bit. Strange to see that era in color after seeing it in Black and white and 16 frames a second my whole life.
It’s amazing how a silent movie change with “natural “ sounds and colors. It’s fill we are there, not like any silent movie when you fill that was long time ago.
Seems cloche hats were all the rage that year in Berlin. 😅 And some of those coats, my god they are beautiful. I want to personally recreate at least two. Loved this so, so much. Thank you for posting!
Babylon Berlin is a German television series based on the novels by Volker Kutscher. It is set in the 1920s during the Weimar Republic and follows the story of a young police inspector, Gereon Rath, as he investigates a series of crimes while grappling with personal and political turmoil. The show has been praised for its stunning visuals, complex characters, and enthralling plot, and has received critical acclaim internationally.
My dad was seven and my mum 6 when this was filmed. Hard to believe that 15 years later he’d be overhead in his Lancaster bomber bombing them while my mum would be running through the streets of Glasgow with my older brother in her arms trying to get to the shelter.
💖💝💋 Extremely beautiful and interesting !!!!! Probably in elegant society too anyway, the women are so elegant, so pretty in their fashion clothes !!! Thanks a lot for those soooo nice archives (colorized is really good !) !!!💝💖💋 Astrid (France)
I have authentic 1920's 30's 40's shoes! I bought them years ago at a store call Remix in Los Angeles. When the owner first opened he had bought a big warehouse full of shoes that were brand new and from different decades. Remix now makes reproductions of them. I was very lucky! Beautiful video!💜👠
All I can say is, I want to see more of these videos, i need it. Its so refreshing to get away at least from a moment from the world we live today. I am feeling melancholic.
The colorization process keeps getting better and better! This almost looks like a technicolor movie from the 1940s and 1950s when color motion pictures started to become common.
The great 1920s wow they look really great they knew how to look great in those times my mother was a flapper and loved dancing what a great film clip loved the video cheers
The only thing of that era I wish to bring back is the style, fashion and fun. But the rest of it can stay in history. The first half of the 20th Century was rough and tragic for many. ❤
@@StephBer1 that argument can be made in certain countries, but as an old timer now approaching 80 years old next year i grew up in 1950's American and even thought granted the medical advances were not as great and people generally died younger , it was still a much more pleasant and simpler time, and people genuinely seemed happier and just more relaxed no mass shooting or social media pressures messing with people heads, and Los Angeles looked amazing in the early 1950s so colorful with all the bright painted cars so clean and pristine....the girls were gorgeous and all those fantastic surfing beach parties. Just a wonderful period it will never be seen again......i'm sorry you all missed it...lol
@@paulcampbell1596 You also got to see the 1960s as well which was as transformative as the 1950s. My memories start with the 1970s and prefer that decade to now.
Ah, the 20's. That brief respite between the Great War and the Great Depression/WWII. Hope they all enjoyed it because the next 50 years are going to be rough.
It was a unique era and I think it’s hard for us to appreciate it on its own merits because it is so overshadowed in our minds by what came before and after.
I think that this is quite an amazing historical film document....all swept away after the 1929 Wall St crash & mass unemployment which followed. Strange thing is that in 1927 no one could have predicted subsequent events....Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it...
I am astounded by how well-dressed everyone is in the middle of the day. The models in the fashion show in the video were not any better dressed than the people watching. Everyone in the video looks even better than people in the 1960's and 80's when people dressed so much better than they typically do now. It's sad how people don't care about their appearance any more. This horrendous decline in fashion has been going on since the mid 1990's with no improvement in sight.
Quality clothing is just no longer accessible to everyone. There's more profit in convincing people to wear plastic. Also remember, in 1927 the world population was 2 billion, not 8 billion.
@@VictorRice- Of course quality clothing is available to everyone nowadays, and it’s more affordable than ever, just that we choose not to wear it. A hundred years ago most people only owned a few changes of clothes.
No one is stopping you from dressing up like it's 1927. It used to be that if you didn't conform to whatever the fashion standards were then you would face social ostracization based off of purely superficial characteristics. Things are better now that people are free to choose to engage in fashion or not.
This 3 minute clip probably took months to make. Slowing the frame rate down to a proper speed, colourizing every frame, dubbing in sounds and voices. Excellent work. Well done.
The change in women's fashion from the 1910s to the 1920s is as drastic as a change can get.
50's to 60's was the next big jump (w/ the sex revolution) that i can think of..
It’s a 33 cycle 🎉
Just think about all the other changes during those years!...Automobiles took over the streets, airplanes became practical, some advances in medicine took place...Einstein and other brilliant scientists made amazing discoveries...People from the earlier generations must have been just astonished at the changes...just like I am now, with the computer revolution, cell phones, etc. Time marches on!
And the 1790s to 1800s before that.
1960s to 1970s is more insane changes
We actually still used these old trains and trams when I was a small child in East Berlin back in the late 1970's... really adventurous and very noisy rides 😊💕
I like the open top buses, closest I can get to this is sitting on the top level of the ferry, very refreshing though perhaps less so in city streets.
Brilliant!
Same here, in 70s Hannover 😘

It always amazes me about the huge jump in women's fashion in such a short amount of time.
Me too! It was the most amazingly quick social shift. I compare it to the MeToo movement of now. For thousands of years, there was a rule book that everyone collowed and, overnight, women (who finally had the power of the wallet) said: NOPE. We've had enough. New Rules- time."
A huge fall in women's fashion. They were very attractive and feminine .
I know 😳A giant leap from the Victorian/Edwardian era just 20+ years earlier.
It was the difference of one generation.
