Lovely indeed

Yes it was. Almost 100 years ago.

Shot in 2006. 640/480 resolution on a prosumer tape Sony. Project lost and salvaged from an existing DVD. KZbin compression did the rest.

He's an excellent actor and did the role credit. You're a good study. It's all three but one needs to watch the entire film. I'll confess that it would do better 10 or 15 minutes shorter but that will be done once we've had more meetings with the distributor. I appreciate your input. Cheers.

He may have done some good things but he was racist.... and who needs that😢 and who needs envy and resentment and prospers from it😢

Free from the days when crime was almost non existent in Trinidad and Tobago. Free from billions of dollars lost in two oil booms. Free from the vagrancy problem. Free from illegal drug use and thousands of youths lost to drug addiction. Yes, free, but not happy.

And how has that been working out for you? 😂😂😂

​@joancc He was a Pro African, not like Ghandi who was a pure racist

I am, indeed.

Dare say they had no westmoorings yet in those days 😅 😂

The one you see here.

Thank you!

Slaves and indentureship in the 1920's? Which history class did you attend?

@@truthseeker8429 The same one you should of attended. You would of been more inform

Uhm, you're joking, right?

You sound like a flickin dunce, you must be under 20 years old fr

NOT REALLY!!!😮

Trinidad and Tobago would have arguably been better off with the British. In Trinidad and Tobago, the poor people still suffer, and the politicians live in relative luxury. Crime has grown higher as the years have passed, the roads are pothole ridden, public healthcare is in a poor state, schools turn out young criminals, illegal drugs have turned thousands of people into zombies, and vagrancy is on the rise. They shut down Petrotrin, and Caroni, because of their own mismanagement, and almost all consumables are imported. All this is not to say that Dr Williams' intentions were not good, but surely things have not turned out the way he envisaged.

Understood. They seem quite happy and comfortable. Enjoying the Fat of Land . While the other races lived in servitude and poverty

Bah! The British were looking to divest themselves of unprofitable colonies after World War II and the main reason Eric Williams pushed for Independence was because he was salty they would let him join their governing council (I forget the name)

Only the rich would have afforded a movie camera. Why use it on the lower classes ?

Something modern, so timeline continuity isn't a headache.😂❤

We didn't INVENT...OR CALYPSO AN SOCA YET😂😅

The calypso historian George Maharaj played some ole time kaiso on CHIN-FM Toronto back in the mid 1990s. He started with the first calypso recorded by a Trinidadian, right around the turn of the 20th Century, then worked his way up to the 1920s. Interestingly, the earliest recordings were all in French and Patois, with the transition to English recordings beginning around the WW1 years into the 20s.

@@DMajikMan thank you. I didn't know that. I noticed patois is almost gone from our culture now. My grandma spoke it but didn't pass it down. Now, it's a different sound again.

​@@DMajikManvery interesting!

@@deomaharaj404 no sir, calypso by then had been around for a very long time.

Yes, what a trip back in time.

100% positive. I added the music myself which may have given the impression it wasn't.

Lol

This is Life in Trinidad for the White and expatriate community. Shows the place and position of where the African descent, and the East Indian descent. In the shadows. Just labour for the whites and factories and the plantations😢😢😢

Remember, this was the *colonial* era. There might've been more white people in T&T back then 😉

Totally agree

Thank you, Christopher. Means a lot to hear that.

Hey old pal! I miss you too! Yes, my buddy and I have done a lot of travel across europe and Morocco. Those were good days Berlin to Poland with just a gas station map and no GPS. When the plague is over it would be very cool to meet up. Maybe even a little reunion!

@@bigshot102 We were positively Magellan-esque during that trip to Poland! It would be grand to get together when things ease up. It's only a short drive down the QEW for me!

@@WillvanderZyl Will! You should come to see my latest film, The Mechanical Boy.

Yes I do.

It was shot in 2006 but I deliberately used odd terms and non traditional music for this type of genre.

@@bigshot102 I thank you for your response. Let me take this opportunity to reiterate that I really LOVED this film. The day I can no longer view it on KZbin will be a true loss. That being said; I have one final question, if you don't mind. After Alex's demise, there are no scenes between the characters Darren and Stevie that would either deepen the mystery of the film's open ending or shed light on it. While I understand you're wish for the open ending (which I like). I can't help but wonder why no new footage at all was added during Darren's epilogue. You really could have gone either way on that. Even something as simple as a lone teary eyed Stevie taking one last look as he closes the door to an empty apartment would have been just what the Dr ordered as per the ending you wished to deliver. Was this not done due to budget/time constraints or was it more a personal affectation? I have my suspicion that you chose the ending for a specific and subtle reason. If I am correct; that would mean you as the creator have/had just one specific outcome in mind for your story. An outcome that was not specifically mentioned in the epilogue. Thank you in advance for your response and for sharing your excellent work with us.

I apologize if I am not very easy to understand. English is not my first language.

I know. Most of the events in this film were taken from real life situations I experienced with friends. It's a dark hole you go down when drugs show up.
