[@TheSapphireflyer]

wow a video where somone talks good about germany. Love it.

[@snoopy7735]

I personally enjoy the research behind the looks videos more entertaining so thank you for making 2 parts to this. Also Chris Chan knows his history really really well you should use him more often.

[@elianekeller8504]

Can we all just talk about the fact how BEAUTIFULLY the makeup was done in this 100 year episode!!! Her skin looks like golden, glowing velvet❤️

[@devinpeirce7152]

German girl is so beautiful

[@user-of8fe5fh2q]

she's so pretty i want to die

[@57_a_sarthak22]

@@russiankawaii94 I would die for a beauty like this in a heartbeat

[@aliak9903]

Too real

[@bah8430]

[@sumchick345]

I wish he had gone more into what happened in east germany in the 80s

[@yumenokatachi01]

sumchick345 Nina Hagen happened :p

[@andreacarolina221]

as an anthropologist i ADORE this. It is so tricky to arrive to just 1 look that represents a nation during a decade, but the way he explains it makes it sound so easy

[@jujujules333]

I am a history major and I centralize my studies on 20th century European history, I also love the history of fashion, I thought you guys did such a good job with this video, watching the research behind the scenes is also super interesting.

[@flutie9379]

This guy smart as hell

[@notreallyiguess9358]

most of it is all reasearch?

[@aliak9903]

Yeah

[@KateHedgehog57]

I love this entire series, but I'm half German (my Oma and Opa are from Berlin), so this hit home because I love learning more about how things were for my family. The best is talking to them, which has resulted in A LOT of knowledge about how it was, but it's nice that there's outside point of views as well :) Thank you so much!

[@waltzingaranel]

I recite this to myself when I'm feeling pulled down. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." It is empowering to me. I am as important and as strong and as beautiful as I let myself be to me. The perception of someone on the outside might be that I am insignificant, weak, and ugly, but I don't have to take another's words about myself as my truth. I want to respect others by giving them the benefit of my doubt. They aren't just one thing and can better themselves. I don't believe in lost causes. You, reading my words, I trust that you can make your own happiness and make a nicer, more thoughtful world. It'll always be imperfect but that's what makes the truly beautiful appreciated. Best wishes.

[@CatBeyondTV]

definitely one of the most interesting yet! loved the explanation

[@thuy8852]

you should definitely do this for other videos this an amazzzinnngg little video about your research and its probably one of my fave videos you've produced so far

[@marloesmermans5493]

Do : The Netherlands The abc islands / Caribbean Japan Finland Sweden And a bunch moreeeee

[@LatteCoco1]

Its clear that a huge amount of effort went into each look, its really cool to see how the looks are comprised :)

[@sofiaa5651]

I would've thought Marlene Dietrich was an inspiration /:

[@pissheads6683]

Germany is so culturally expressive it's awesome to see

[@chrysapapanastasiou9862]

We want a video ''100 years of beauty: Greece'' !!!!

[@tbotnoblett]

Yes

[@saudabdulaziz660]

I wish you did this 'research behind the looks' for Iran. I am interested in how the fashions and trends dramatically from veil to no veil to back to veil to slowly taking off the veil.... And the looks.

[@SingingSuperstar28]

I managed to learn a lot just by reading the comments on the video.

[@SabinaGimenez]

Hi, I love your videos than 100 years of beauty, I congratulate you. I'd love 100 years of beauty in Argentina, of course I'm from there, keep it up !!

[@aleksandrabogusz5069]

Uh yes!

***** Shut up.

[@lenathecurlyone]

***** but i'm a brunette with green eyes from denmark

[@catya]

+Max Power i'm a brunette from norway though i'm half italian but a lot of people have brown hair here.. and you do realise it's not about the physical futures but about the beauty standards

[@tea-up5qf]

Please do Poland! :)

[@waltzingaranel]

May I say that I enjoy these videos by Cut Video? Learning about different cultures and their ideal of beauty is interesting to me. Seeing the similarities between cultures and time periods across the world is eye-opening. I hope Cut Video keeps making these videos. I enjoyed the aging video too. Please make more. :) Now, to address my feelings of irritation toward a few negative commenters, please if you're not taking as much time to craft your response to this video as it takes to research and make this video then why should 'I' take your opinion seriously. It's offensive to downplay all of the efforts put in by the Cut staff/artists when you take a comparatively short amount of time to call it, nicely, "rubbish". Make your own true video if you know the so-called "real" woman of that culture. Show the world what you can create instead of only criticizing others' work! I know you are creative people. Show that. "I believe this because...*insert showing off your expertise*." Pt. 1

[@gabby1x8x1]

PLEASE do France next! You already mentioned them in this video, so you might at well :)

[@timdella92]

I would love to see Cuba or Argentina. It would be awesome how the standard of beauty was affected by the political scenes of these countries. Oh! And South Africa, that would be interesting.

[@SagaOchMi]

It sounds like he's about to burst out in tears

[@isleofgreg]

Love that 30's look - Leni was a genius

[@BabyScarecrow]

I love these videos as a vintage and history fashion fanatic, and it's quite fun to see how much countries have influenced one another - from the jazzy 20's to the ww2 in the 40's, and even majority of the videos have contained some amusing side mohawks of the 80's :P but that also makes a lot of the videos a little similar since many have been about european countries or countries influenced by the US, so I hope the next videos could show more of Asian and African history, and fashion you don't often hear of :)

[@BabyScarecrow]

Crap? That's harsh. And Asia's an entire part of the world, lots of countries outside of just the once shown here. I'd love to see Vietnam, Thailand or even Mongolia :) (exude me for bad spelling here)...

[@fatalrob0t]

ah... I was right with a conclusion I made on why the 1940s one was the way it was, though it was a silent one. Yeah, the only people in Germany that would be able to afford the makeup you see on the 40s image would be actresses and the elite. The only people. the rest were practically starving.

[@deltawhisky5977]

Only because of the allied rat bastards!

[@fjellyo3261]

I like the style of the 1920s^^ Die goldenen Zwanziger! The golden twenties^^

[@hansmuller3924]

Die waren für die meisten Deutschen alles andere als golden.

[@MsBhappy]

Thanks for posting this! Very interesting!

[@sabilasabi]

Please do Austria!

[@CandySphynx]

Could you do France please? I love those videos so much, and Paris being one of the capital of fashion, it'd be super interesting to see my country honoured as well! Thank you

[@Bella-wf7hl]

Pleaaaasee do The Netherlands!!!

[@romyh153]

+Max Power nope it isn't

[@Bella-wf7hl]

***** germany & the netherlands are 2 different countries pls

[@Bella-wf7hl]

lmao crying bye

[@clairewilliams7969]

My names Tom haha sarcastic

[@KelyrinYourSafeSpace]

That video was pure awesomeness. I can't wait to discover more countries. Does anyone know which are the famous french brands he talked about ? I would be very curious to know. Hope someone will answer :) Btw, this girl is absolutely gorgeous.

[@arturyeon]

Kelyrin's Cooking & Bento If I remember correct, Chanel was one of them. The brand was partially owned by a Jewish family and the Chanel family took the oppurtunity of the Nazi occupation to become the single owner. But to be honest, you'll find that most of them probably collaborated.

[@KelyrinYourSafeSpace]

Artur Yeon Thank you so much for your answer :) Didn't know that

[@JaffaCakeGecko]

Kelyrin's Cooking & Bento Hugo Boss designed the black uniforms for the SS too

[@KelyrinYourSafeSpace]

JaffaCakeGecko Really ? wow I'm learning things ! Thanks guys ! Just googled HB and saw it was a German brand, very interesting

[@adelorenita6085]

Bellísimo el video de Alemania!

[@Fitch75]

How come you haven't done France already?

[@lightskinspxc]

They probably tried too, and then they gave up

[@Airwave2k2]

Fitch75 France should be spit up in Paris chic and rest like south for instance Languedoc and north like Brittany. Since there is a big gap between the centralized Paris and the rest of france.

[@1001Ratchet]

Fitch75 They did Germany, and Italy. If you think France is coming up in the next 30 episodes then lol.

[@Fitch75]

.:J.M.Concept:. What do you mean exactly?

[@1001Ratchet]

Fitch75 They would do a wider variety of countries than countries that are really similar. Not saying France is like Germany but CutVid would cover different cultures if that makes sense, Hence why Nigeria is next.

[@ejelly799]

Please do 100 years of China!

[@kulotz5555]

ejelly799 it should be 500 years of beauty for China! haha

[@imyerdad9154]

Could you do Poland please ? Its little country but very interesting.

[@haninvan]

Love the breakdowns :)

[@trapease]

Love these research videos!

[@seyirunsewe127]

I love this researcher! This one was very accurate

[@jetuber]

For all those who were wondering, the model's name is Brooke Williams. A Daily Mail article about this video identifies her. Here's the link: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3178431/100-years-German-beauty-1920s-bobs-Nazi-era-plaits-1980s-feathered-hair-West-punk-East.html

[@JosephStalin11]

FRANCE Should Be Next! The country of Fashion

[@charlieadams2084]

Can you do England ples

[@KarrotJoos]

i've noticed the videos that chris works on, people aren't upset about the fashion he comes up with but everyone else (according to the comments) the researchers fail hard

[@ewelinastefanska3143]

*****, 1:28 - The first picture is painted by Tamara Łempicka and it's called "Self-portrait in a green Bugatti". Tamara Łempicka was Polish, not German. :)

[@alondrapaez7910]

Colombia♥ Next!!

[@lattefuji3151]

Please do a 100 years of beauty cuba

[@abilea4081]

I feel like they wouldn't have worn red lipstick though since Hitler was known for disliking makeup in general but I could be wrong

[@lorisldn]

Amazing job!

[@carlalindner9281]

i AM from Germany

[@selvaraja9783]

Hallo ich bin Bruno

[@giim2552]

Scheiße

[@waltzingaranel]

I'm was a history major in college but, for me, it wasn't about the facts and dates. My favorite part to study was the art and stories they created for themselves. What do those artistic endeavors tell about the culture that created them? Fiction reveals the truth that reality obscures, it has been said. That's why this visual narrative about the "ideal" woman throughout history appeals to me. It's about dreams and fantasy. I'm not bothered if these videos don't reflect my experience or my impression of those years. They're a reflection of someone's experience at that time in history, so that makes them "real". Remember beauty is about ideals, how you or they looked on the best day not every day. Usually I go natural with a little bit of makeup to cover some flaws. This is my truth of the 2010s, but I don't expect it to be definitive of all girls in my culture and time when I show my grandkids pictures from my youth. Part 2

[@juditrosamude377]

Please, do the Spain one!

[@mehdigeek]

Hugo Boss collaborated with Hitler to design the military uniform!

[@marsdenmullac9664]

Crazy init, a high ranking nazi had no idea even 75 years later, his lable will be one of the most expensive and recognised brands in today's age

[@atrumangelus9733]

He did. The standard grey officers uniform is probably one of the sharpest uniforms to have been designed. It's too bad it was designed for the Nazis, as it's become to represent evil. So much so, that the uniform is effectively the reference model when designing a uniform for any sci-fi evil empire.

[@takaditakadang]

this guy is brilliant

[@ranyapril]

i just LOVE these videos ! come on do Tunisians;North africa (Carthaginians,Phoenician,Berbers,)

[@cristinaisabel3207]

Arthur, o Hipster They doing, and they say to expect it soon.

[@veenaelasar5043]

Do Egypt!!

[@InessaMaxinova]

OW! What an awful pronounciation at 1:17. Tamara de Lempicka (or more appropriately in Polish: Tamara Łempicka) was a famous art deco painter. Most famous artwork would probably be "Self Portrait in Green Bugatti"/"Autoportret w Zielonym Bugatti" (well seen on the left at 1:26)

[@HossamBindary]

DO THE EGYPTIAN !!!!!

[@johnpruden2740]

yes I really want them to do Egypt.

[@olekta3]

Poland pls :)

[@marianareichmann9991]

[@youawake6961]

Do a country in Africa doesn't matter which one to me

[@forgetfulstranger]

***** contrary to popular belief, there is quite a bit of recorded of African history Plus, Cut Videos are all from the 1910 onwards so there's plenty of info out there

[@1001Ratchet]

***** They're doing Nigeria lol... And there are many vintage photos of many African countries. Photographers recently discovered photos of North Sudani beauty in the 50s-80s.

[@1001Ratchet]

***** In the original 100 years of beauty germany someone replied to cut video about Nigeria and they said Nigeria is next.

[@yourfavoriteboy5654]

Thailand please.

[@juliusdalhoefer840]

The Model looks actually more German than the real ones

Suggestion: please use more catchy music, like the Russian Beauty video

[@dudedude5332]

Do Colombia!

[@chaosgoettinnekoryu4519]

wth? where is the other one? there was a single reasearch video, where they started with a poster and the veil about a german actress or something. it was a drawn one. not even a photo. and it was a lady that did the research and talked about.

100 years Japan next

[@the35thsact77]

I cant help but question this guys objectiveness when he so readily gives his political views, and how that affects this videos "authenticity". That being said I like this video but because of his comments in the past I cant help but feel weary of possible ulterior motives.
