" 50 YEARS BEFORE YOUR EYES " PART 1 1900-1950 DOCUMENTARY FILM 66734

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

Man this needs to be in every classroom . I am almost 55 and every under 20 someone needs a History Review , These type of films are only one aspect , but the very important one . a Great Review of the first 50 Years of the Twentieth Century :) QC

[@johncashwell1024]

Well said!

[@kamakaziozzie3038]

The vast majority of teachers in public schools have received a Marxist shaded education. This, in turn with what they have consumed on the internet has made them believe America should be fundamentally changed. Unfortunately, the days of being proud of the USA heritage and the freedoms it has afforded our prior generations seem to be over. As a 60 year old natural born citizen, I still believe in the ideals of America but it seems people like me are becoming a minority in our great country.

So.,.... how can we do that? Keep doing this.

[@pfflyer3381]

Christian propaganda! Last 50 years? 3:15 Own form of worship??, just not the indigenous, and the slaves, they got Jesus SHOVED DOWN THEIR THROATS !! "The story of the last 50 years...start with propaganda, Pilgrims? Thanksgiving is a fraud, untill 1865!! Check real history, Not hearsay, for US to feel good! The last 50 years of white world, red lining, sundown town's, white flight!! Became gerrymandering! I lived some of it, and still! In My 68 years nothing changed. In fact, Reaganomics made everything worse for the middle class on down! Tricked DOWN! Bs sellouts! Added a Traitor!

Really? Check out the anarchism movement of the 1920s. How about the Sedition Act of 1918, under which you could be put in jail for criticizing the government? People were jailed for complaining about subways. FDR was skewered by people like Charles Lindbergh in the thirties for his support of England and France as they fought the Nazis. And on and on. Fact is, things really never change. Human nature is human nature.

Two world wars and a great depression later doomed to do it all over again. From to big to fail, to to big to jail, our country will not survive this time so long as there is no rule of law.

[@lestersabados1306]

This is a propaganda tool. I love our Constitutional Republic. This is obviously not going to bash the federal reserve. In 1950s the country was still in the pink cloud of ww2 victory.

This film is from 1950 and the WB logo and the main title is missing, but all they got is the full complete version of the 1956 Films Incorporated logo. I wonder if the full opening title with the WB logo exists. I hope maybe one day if TCM will air a fully restored print of “50 Years Before Your Eyes” with the WB logo.

THANKS INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, COUNLDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU

[@fuwa9616]

Oh they invented English, the transistors, the computer and electricity? Weird, if the US couldn't have landed on the moon without them, then how come the countries where they are the majority in the Americas are not doing well? How come Bolivia cannot do things Canada, the US and Europe can? Oh right, its because Europeans did it without their help and its just another way to diminish Euro accomplishments.

[@fuwa9616]

Incorrect, Europeans did it on their own. They invented the computers. They did it thanks to DNA.

[@karenpanslerlam3289]

The Indians had nothing to do with it; they did not possess the land. They camped on the land, but they did not possess it. Namely, they dwelled in wigwams - temporary shelters; they did not build great towns like the advanced civilizations of the Aztecs or Incas or Mayans. To illustrate, the Aztecs were Indian people of Central Mexico noted for their advanced civilization before Cortes invaded Mexico in 1519. On the other hand, the Wampanoags were still camping in wigwams in 1620. Furthermore, the Indian could not write. Every great ancient civilization had some form of writing. To put it another way, the Wampanoags were “the low man on the totem pole” because of their lack of cultural achievements.

[@joeblowe2027]

at 4:25, the man is quoted as saying " give me liberty or give me death" . well...that's not really what he said. you see, he was a drug addict, and what he said was " give me librium, or give me meth!" but one of the founding fathers could NOT go down in history as saying THAT, so they spun it into "give me libery or give me death!" .

[@karenpanslerlam3289]

This is a lie - and stupid!

[@bobjenkins9208]

15:47, can someone please explain this shot?

[@TrapperAaron]

4 min the infamous 15x15 American flag of Francis Scott Key fame. Better known by its only lyrics, "o say can you see" repeating over and over in time w the musical score. There are 3 verses of just repeating "o say can you see". This makes it easy enough for Yankees fans to remember before a game called baseball.

[@sulfileife2]

I hope they do something like this in 2050
