Exactly! The color, the smoothness, all of it. It makes these images seem truly alive and real! I mean, of course, they're real, but that was a time so unlike ours in many ways, that black and white made them seem somewhat surreal too.

These films are better than they were originally. They connect us to the people of the time. There is an ad on the front of an odd looking vehicle for the Rockne Six which is a Studebaker only made in 1933 and 1934. So this film I believe was made from 32 to 34.

You nailed it Sbl! 1:24 Rockne Six. Rockne in general was only made from Dec 1931 to early 1933 and the 10 replaced the Six series in late 1932, so it HAS to be a 1932 model they advertise for! Meaning it's either Sep 1931 to Sep 1932.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Some things were better, but a lot was worse. Today our cities are far cleaner and less polluted by industry. Things were only better for white men, anyone else had it worse. Sidewalks didn't even have ramps, so it really sucked to be disabled, injured, elderly, or just to push around a stroller/cart. Quality of life was not great back then, think about all the things you take for granted today: nice appliances, AC, quick shipping, and 2 day weekends only began in 1926, and took time to spread. Women were only granted the right to vote in 1920, and later in many countries. They were also barred from acts as practical and simple as wearing pants, or from enjoying a vice, like smoking in public. Smoking in public, even on trains and in small rooms, is another thing that was normal, whether you liked and whether you had health issues or not. That also reminds me of hygiene, which was far worse back then. People didn't shower or wash their clothes nearly as much, horses were still somewhat common, leaving feces in the streets, and you don't want to think about dental hygiene. If you were alive back then, you'd also have to go through the future decades which would mean the a little thing called the GREAT DEPRESSION, which was immediately followed by a little event known as WORLD WAR 2 and then you would just have the Cold War for... the rest of your life. The 50s also had the thalidomide scandal which caused thousands of birth defects in babies around the world, the 60s saw assassinations and public unrest increase, and then white flight and urban renewal led to the destruction of our cities. I'm very glad I didn't have to live through all that (and I didn't even mention Jim Crow, prohibition & mobs, the Dust Bowl, child labor, internment camps, etc)

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

@@panagiotist47 You can still do that. That's the beauty of the modern era, you can dress nice if you want, but when you don't want to, you can dress however you want. One part of why people dressed better back then was there was just less options. To us looking back, we think "wow, everyone is dressed so well, even people with less money," but the reason those people with less money are dressed well is because that's one of their only sets of clothes and it was also likely handed down, possibly from wealthier people. If a kid with no money wore all hand me down clothes, it would look nice because they didn't have t shirts and athletic shorts like kids with no money end up with today. We traded style for comfort and more options, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

[@Robert-zm2rk]

Amazing footage! To realize that all these people have passed away..

[@TraceurDoc1]

Except the babies and and maybe very young children. My grandmother was born in 1925 and just passed away

[@waynesmallwood2466]

Beautiful 👍💯. I had no idea that it hasn't changed that much. The world has been a metropolis for a long time. Skyline is huge and beautiful I didn't know they had the capability to build such huge things.

[@joshgraves2249]

I'm so jealous of the people in this video, they never had to listen to Cardi B

[@mr.c8033]

Dude: You are amazing! Bravo, sir. BRAVO!

[@skalusz]

Some time ago, when you watched a very old movie, you would assume that at least 50% of the people in that movie were alive. Now, when you watch such an old movie, you realize that none of those you see are no longer there.

[@sidilicious11]

The babies might be alive. My Mom was born in 1929 is is still alive.

[@skalusz]

@@sidilicious11 Of course, you're right, but in this video I didn't see them just adults or teenagers

[@skalusz]

@@sidilicious11 health and long life for your mother. Beautiful age.

[@sidilicious11]

@@skalusz thank you! May you and yours be healthy and happy.

[@skalusz]

@@sidilicious11 Thank you! I wish you and your loved ones exactly the same!

[@henriquem491]

Amazing! 😍 Thank you for the video!

[@coolmoodee]

People sure dressed classy back then .... not like it is now .

[@jpetes9046]

If you were going downtown, you got dressed up. That’s just how it was.

[@MR_NONAME6]

It was the casuals to

[@primaryesthethicinstincts4832]

But they all dressed the same boring cloths

[@heijimikata7181]

I saw an image of a drug addict on an anti-drug bulletin back then and they look more kempt and tidy than many today. Unbelievable.

[@JoshuaTraffanstedt]

I like the way women dress now. Those yoga pants are the best invention since the birthday suit.

[@Tracktorking]

Thank you since I was a child I always wanted to live in those beiutiful times but sadly time travel will never be discovered 😢 so your channel makes me live my dream a bit truly thank you

[@commonsenseworld]

People all dressed nice. Respectful. Peaceful. Life was much easier then for most.

[@nomadjedimaster7690]

Minus capone

This is when America was a great country

[@BGTuyau]

"The Dirty Thirties," to be sure, but not Great Depression-wracked as one might imagine -or as has so often been depicted. Thanks again to all, past and present, who have worked to bring these film clips to KZbin viewers.

[@Guitarwizzard1833]

This footage is a glimpse back in time where only a few years earlier, Al Capone walked those same streets!!!

[@daniellinehan63]

And our Cubs were in the Series every 3 seasons

[@IbrahimSean]

Capone still walked them then probably my brother

[@IbrahimSean]

This is what he saw the world like

[@garymorris1856]

This film is beautifully clear and vivid.

[@龔金海-q6p]

真的很難想像！100年前的人們、在街道上行走、男、女的穿著打扮很高尚、很正經的服裝！比現代社會還要好看的服裝！路上汽車/電車滿街跑、太先進的城市！真正美觀！太棒了！

[@santosbanuelos6661]

A lo mejor dice que está súper interesante

[@All_Good_Things]

A world without any computers. Makes you wonder how it even functioned coming from our perspective, but it did

[@f18cowboy50]

It would be funny if at the end of the video, the cameraman said, "don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more content!"

[@Mariuz-ru9iw]

In a way ,,they were first KZbinrs in a sense,,,,,

[@AdnanAdnan-gg7hg]

Very beautiful thanks to this video Nass

[@NASS_0]

Thank you very much, what do you like most about this video? ;))

[@cindypowers4993]

I'm fascinated by all the traffic even in those days, and by all the pedestrians walking by, crossing very busy streets, as they went about their days. And, how everyone, men and women, wore hats.

[@seandelap8587]

Looks so clean and orderly here a very different site I expect if you happened to wander there today

[@TheDanEdwards]

"so clean and orderly here a very different site I expect if you happened to wander there today" - oh please. It's just that the person who filmed the original did not include the criminal gangs of the day, or the dirt from all the crowds, the pollution from the cars, etc.

[@HansKlopek]

@@TheDanEdwards cope

[@cybersociedadebrasil101]

beautiful.

[@TSM8088]

If this be New York in 1932 or thereabouts, the large 3-funnelled passanger liner moored along the Hudson could be the RMS Berengaria. RMS Queen Mary, although similar in appearance to the Berengaria, did not begin her service with The Cunard Line until 1936. There are also a couple of warships (likely post dreadnouight era battleships) pictured on the Hudson here as well. Great stuff!

[@brownwrench]

This is what I was wondering about Thanks

[@jimmerhardy]

Younger people should be shown these in school and asked how they measure up? This would give them perspective and made them think.

[@TheDanEdwards]

Young people in Chicago today don't have breath the dirty air from unregulated engines, young people today don't have to worry about polio, young people today have a better sense of how inequalities between people have happened.

[@HansKlopek]

@@TheDanEdwards no they just get murdered...

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

@@TheDanEdwards your so busy naming the few bad things that happen to remember everything normal that surrounded the bad parts of this era. But thanks for bringing it up, we don't fucking hear enough about how RaCiSt and SexiSt and unhealthy and unadvanced the era no one fucking studies, is.

[@TheDanEdwards]

​@@HansKlopek What, you don't think there were murders in Chicago before? Or any city? Go look up what happened to organized crime (resulting in part from Prohibition.)
