Real Old-Time New Yorkers Can Scream And Still Love Each Other When It Is Over

- Опубликовано: 21 апр 2018
- This is a real documentary that I filmed in 1965 at a Union meeting regarding garbage truck drivers salaries. Some of my RUclips commentators have thought it was a theatrical made with actors. But I was the director and the cameraman and I can assure you that this meeting took place for real. I asked these New York AFL CIO union guys involved with garbage collection in New York City to have a real meeting as though I wasn't there and to behave in the way that they normally do when they are negotiating. That is what they did. I was the director & the sole cameraman and I made in support of the local New York union. This shows a scene from an AFL-CIO “negotiation” with NY city officials regarding whether union drivers were needed on garbage trucks. Though their language was rough, at the end of the meeting, they got something done and indeed the issues they were debating were negotiated. Some of my subscribers have asked about their ethnicities. Most were Irish and Italian with a few New York City Jews.

That New York accent, the best in the world, just love the pronunciation "TOY-TEEN THOUSAND"
@D D only the old timers.....
When New York had people who spoke and acted like, well, New Yorkers.
@D D The ones that have the NYC accent are the Latinos who were born in NYC, Black people, and the Italians . The hipsters here don't have the accent.
@D D I’m Irish/Italian. My grandfather and some of my uncles talk like this. My grandfather knew some mob guys, I remember my mom told me a story when my grandfather’s friend walk into a store that my then teenager mom was in (she was looking for a job) he knew her and told the owner “I want her working here by tomorrow.” She got the job just like that.
Anyways, It’s usually the older men that kinda still have the accent. Typically Irish and Italians.
@@luissantiago8446 This is what you call blue collar,
"You're not a professional". God I hate that attitude so much. The people at the top who have no idea how difficult the job actually is. We need unions like this back.
that trigger me as well! people that did not spend a day in these jobs claiming to be an expert in a field. and degrading others for doing it...
Then be the guy that takes their job...
Fuckin A well told
lol no kidding "you're not a professional! you do actual manual labour work, real professionals don't work" LMAO basically what he's saying. these fucking bureaucrats don't realize how obvious they are when you read between the lines, they're basically saying the quiet part loud when they drop dumbfuck lines like this; they OBVIOUSLY think that they are better than others, and that alone should justify their treatment of the people who actually keep their city running.

@@beanut.putter F
Hi, I do tree work professionally. The title 'tree surgeon' is most certainly still used. It is **very** common and widely accepted even today. If you call yourself an Arborist, people tend to assume you are ISA certified, while 'tree surgeon' doesn't seem to carry the same implications to the layman imo.
@@gminor6288 that's really interesting...I suppose itd be like the difference between lawn maintenance and lawn care? Ie. Mowing lawns versus spraying herbicides and health analysis
Genius teamwork: loud mouth guy takes the issue to a far end of the spectrum, calm reasonable guy brings it back to a more acceptable level. Schnoze/glasses guy concedes and agrees to reasonable guy.

"Youre not a professional, youre a civil servant"
My god, the disrespect he just gave that man.
@daAnder71 it's not stupid. The term "professional" also had/has the connotation that the person has skills actually worth being paid for. Anyone can be elected into politics despite background.
Nah, he had it coming.
@daAnder71That is the current meaning, but certainly not the meaning at the time. Professionals were engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. A truck driver is more of a tradesmen than a professional in that context.
@Milhaus It's the same nowadays, what are you talking about?
@Milhaus Says the west coast dickhead who rides a bike between lanes to skip traffic, literal amateur hour. An experienced chef is always going to be more of a "professional" than some moron who thinks he is because he went to culinary school. With that being said, please don't end up a smear on the road, just ride in a lane, asshole. Look up professional then learn the difference between actual formality and what you're seeing in this video. The guy insulted his sense of professionalism BECAUSE he was a truck driver, somehow you manage to parrot this thinking over 50 years later, embarrassing. If the guy wasn't a professional, he wouldn't be heading union meetings for other truck drivers, fuck him for not being a "professional" though, right? Long story short, professional is not a subjective term, please don't speak like it is. If people want to call themselves professionals WHILE THEY'RE BEING PAID TO, leave them be. Like the first reply said, everyone who garners pay is a professional. An NFL player is as much of a professional as a lawyer or doctor is. (Which is why bitter people who spend a good chunk of their formative years in education spend lots of time belittling others, I can't validate this guy who makes twice as much as me with no training, right?) If you'd like to just stop replying, don't wait for permission.

My grandad represented a workers union out of Long Island and from the stories I was told he was incredibly eloquent and charismatic, and took a lot of what he learned from being stationed in West Germany during the Cold War to his job as well as his family. When I was growing up and before he passed he wouldn’t ever talk much, but whenever he had something to say our conversations always immediately dissipated and everyone would listen. A big, huggable and cheery person and always wearing an infectious smile. I miss him

@@brucejohnson6393 what about the current generation? That's what I'm mostly worried about. I feel like it may die in the future and become replaced with the average American dialect you hear in the movies. And I don't want it to go extinct 😭

I know unions aren't perfect, but damn I wouldn't mind having these guys bargaining for my wages, benefits etc. etc.
Unions are very important. No institution is perfect, and arguments against unions based on their imperfections are distractions. If a union isn’t perfect that isn’t cause to not trust unions, it’s a cause to fix and strengthen them.
the thing about unions if you dont actual good leaders then your wages and stuff gon stagger...
Unions are kinda dangerous cause they need the best of the best to work...
@@ottovonweaboo6355 Literally what I said was that if there is a problem fix it, it doesn't mean to not trust them as a whole. The same thing can be said about government in general. It needs the best of the best to work well.

David is my favorite documentary filmmaker of all time. No one captures moments of REAL TIME that shows the unbiased narrative of our country at various points in history. I mean NOBODY is as fearless and trustworthy as he is in the topics and views he chooses to share with others through his medium, film. An unsung national treasure that deserves much more acclaim in my humble opinion. ❤
@comedycrackers Don, Elle, Kristen and Joelle. This is the guy I am always referencing when I said go study so his videos for accents. He capsules time. and how people actually spoke back then not how accent coaches teach you to speak like them now, but you can just observe the various regions and ethnicities and Nationalities and culture of these individuals straight from the horses mouth so to speak. I study this guy’s work like the holy grail so I just wanted to introduce you to his channel and website.
Hope it gives reference point that you can bookmark and just swing back to before performance so you could have the voice in your mind fresh. It’s one of my trade secrets, just wanted to share. You are some of the most brilliant minds I know when it comes to character acting. Let me know if this helps you come up with any new characters .
See you on the stage XOXO Hillay
Thank you Hilary. I do care about accents and the way people speak. It's what attracted me to the North Carolina mountains for my first professional film. And of course coming from New York, I do love a good New York accent and have kept mine through all these years.

This is a snippet from 12 Angry Men's canceled sequel "16 Even More Angry Men".
Saw that movie for the first time last year, blew my mind. Can't even call it "ahead of it's time" 'cause there hasn't been a movie like it before or since.
Henry Fonda was killed out of anger shortly before this was filmed. He was deemed to calm.
Such a great movie..
I was looking for a comment that would reference 12 angry men. I’m pleased to have found it.
Joakim Andersson I found it excruciatingly boring when I saw it. I read the script separately as well. What was I missing?
Wow. This is an unfiltered look into the past. Basically, this is the kind of thing people would record if they had iPhones back in the 60’s.
It’s so surreal to see a slice of unscripted, uncut, real-world society from the 60’s being preserved in such a clear and fluid way.
Thank you for recording this, David Hoffman and thanks for uploading so that future generations can see.

Zach Ando Art Imitates life, fam.
@@CrumCringle that's deep
@@MaxCaissie But for real tho. Because of all these forms we have now of art and storytelling -- video games, Hollywood & Indie films, books, music, etc... -- and our ability to share it and have access to all these things because of the internet, publishers, stores, theatres, or whatever, from around the world set all around the world -- LA, NYC, Paris, Seoul, Buenos Aires, South Africa, Tokyo, Alaska, etc... showing all these walks of lifes and trends/morals -- it behaves as a new way to nurture people, teach them about life, how to behave, what they've learnt, and overall very strongly and memetically affect our development. Then in turn, we naturally imitate it to some degree.
For me, movies and video games really had a big impact on my upbringing. I'd say that it taught me more about life and the world than school did, wheras school teaches the academic basics. GTA 4 showed me a satirical display of New York, and introduced me to all these nuances in these concepts of crime, immigration, the FBI, whatever. The movie Tangerine introduced me to the streets of Los Angeles, transgenders, prostitution, the tenacity of friendship, American poverty, etc... The video game Firewatch taught me about Alzheimers, human relationships, dilemmas, Wyoming, Firewatching, etc... The music video Devil Like Me taught me about alcoholism, drunk driving, regret, self-hatred, suicide, North Carolina, etc... The movie Leviathan taught me about northern Russia/Murmansk Oblast, corruption in modern Russia through government and religion, the bleak lifestyles, and family culture there.

No one knows what they're talking about? The fat guy is arguing that they are being paid to little in comparison to the cities guys. The fat guy in the glasses is representing the city, the fat loud guy is the union. The loud guy is making points that the sanitation guys are being paid to sit around, 3 guys to a truck, things like that. The union wants more money cause they're more professional and efficient. I understand that nuance is lost a lot through generations. Not just the words spell things out, but gestures, emotions, body language.

Still out there, fighting alongside marxist guerillas against the Contras in Nicaragua.
Penta 5 seriously?
😂😂
Hoffa turned into pig shit.
Lol
Wow, David! Amazing you were there & filming. What a different time.
The most New York New Yorkers that ever New Yorked
The boys in the voice chat while I'm trying to clutch a 1v6:
Okay that's relatable
😂😂
😭😭💀
bruh we really having debates over unions on vc
E
Thoiteen tousand dollas, love the accents
Close ur eyes and its like listening to Bugs Bunny arguing with Elmer Fudd xD
yeah dare jiving dem chucks!!
To bad that accent is dying out in NYC
I read that as I heard it and it made it ten times better.
@@johna.favata5909 All accents are dying out because of obvious reasons
Excellent film work here, David, one camera and a microphone, you rocked! 🧡 These union negotiations probably seem crazy to people today, but that is how it worked. Peace Brother... 😎
I love this sort of candid video/film. Experiencing life as it happened in all forms, from a Sears in the late 90s, to this, to a drive thru Dallas in the mid 1970s.
I love how even the unions have their good cop, bad cop routine, though more like loud cop, relatively quiet cop routine.
Angry, raving cop and angry, logical cop
Damn that’s actually a good strategy, I didn’t think about using the good cop bad cop technique outside of the justice system.
@@TAKE_BACK_BRITAIN It's super common in contract negotiations. Works really well if two people can gang up on one.
@@TemplarOnHigh they call that double-teaming someone, I think.
Yeah, I fucking loved that bit.
I know that kid. That's Paulie, mickey's little brotha, I rememba them playing in the park, throwing wata balloons at people, the basteds. Yeah, he's the son of Dolores that used to have that grocerie store on 7th street and Al, his old man used to drive a truck around New York ciddy from 9 ta 5.
My son , I have found u shogun
Underrated
Al didn't drive from 9 to 5, most of the time he was sittin on his duff. And he was talking. And when he was talking, he was talkin to another guy. That's TWO GUYS sittin on their duffs!!!
Get your shinebox
Knock it awwwfff will yuz? Tryna drink my kawffee ova here
*Woke up this morning, got some gabbagool*
*Keep wakin' up, keep buying some gabbagool*
😂😂
As a man who works in the forestry and landscape business, it’s still a big sin that drivers are the tree surgeons and work 14+ hour days and road exhaustion is real. 20 tons worth of gear on haul, it just makes more sense to this day to have one designated driver who isn’t slave driven.
From what I understand not even one "R" was pronounced that day.
City of new yok
Who ah we? Bunch of moochas workin for da city ah New Yawk?
The way it's intended.
...until the black guy tried to join the discussion. (what I mean is given the time it was filmed they might have been racist)
Lots of vowels were used. Who needs Rs?
I'm not a lumberjack.
I'm a qualified tree surgeon.
I'm in tree service. It makes more sense actually. You're in trees hundreds of feet high in a rope and harness with wood cleats. You use a chainsaw to carefully cut entire limbs off and have the drop in specific places or lower them down by rope. There are different types of cuts that could be done for the same tree short of cutting down and entire tree which happens least of all.

Magnetic Vortex maybe idk

I can hear the thumbnail everytime this video pops up in my feed.
When my father tells me stuff that goes on in the USPS union office i picture this in my head for some reason
It's so strange how we have the archetypal "Loud, boisterous screaming New Yorker man," the "Uptight, glasses-wearing suit guy," and the "Soft spoken, even and 'fair' man" ALL in the same room.
This is just like the movies I've watched from way back then, and it's so odd to see that it actually happened in real life.
bro kubrick shot this one on the moon. It's a fake.
It's weird that people glorify movie characters not realizing they're all reality-based in some way or another.
Yeah, sometimes I watch old movies and think "eh, these directores of times past exagerated too much" only to discover they didn't, reality itself actually was that exagerated.
@Terry Sullivan No
@@Forcasify Aaaaalrighty
"Who's not a professional?!"
"You're not a professional!"
It's a sophism, why would you like that ? It's the first thing not to get.
It's also epistrophe spanning two speakers. Not good argument but damn good dialogue.
This seems like a deleted scene from "The Irishman" 😂🔥
As a non US speaker when that first guy started speaking, I genuinely did not know what he was saying after "equipment" up to "forestry"
