A boys' life in Amsterdam 1969. Een jongensleven.

Kijk naar de schone en lege straten in het vroegere Amsterdam waar idereen nostalgisch naar is. Die jongen Jan is nu op leeftijd. Wie herkent hem nu ? Wat zou er van hem geworden zijn?

Zo leuk om mezelf weer te zien als 'Rietje' en mijn moeder, mijn echte moeder, die in 1980 is overleden op 48 jarige leeftijd. Dank voor het publiceren van dit filmpje Michael Rogge en Talpa voor het uitzenden, zodat ik dit filmpje heb kunnen vinden.

[@michaelijsbrand]

Geweldig, eindelijk herkent iemand zich in mijn clips! Bedankt voor de reactie. Wat gebeurde er met de jongen 'Jan' wiens leven gevolgd werd?

[@thiery572]

Yeah, what happened to Jan?

[@sophiewaltman1831]

Dag Monique, voor het NPO Radio 5 programma Theater van het Sentiment, zouden we je heel graag willen interviewen over deze film. Ik hoop dat je mijn berichtje via deze weg leest en dat je het ook leuk vindt om in een telefonisch interview een paar minuten terug te gaan naar 1969!

[@daphne4983]

Jij bent dat meisje :) leuk!

[@Doeff8]

Heftig Monique, je moeder was hier dus 37 jaar ongeveer.

I was stationed in The Netherlands in the US Army at a small NATO base called AFCENT Brunssum, NL (limburg) province from 1968-70. Very southern part of the country. The best time of my life. The people was so nice. Very clean. I was a driver and got to drive all over Belgium and Germany. Many could speak English mostly the younger generation. Gosh loved the french fries (fritz) with mayonnaise, bahmi, nasi goreng, fricadel special with ketchup and onions, mackle with onions and cheeses. And many more. I did get married to a gal from Grevenbicht. The only thing I didn't like was the weather. Rained a lot. I was very lucky not to go to Viet Nam and I say I had a European vacation. Traveled all over Europe even took my car on the ferry boat to England and learned to drive on the left. HA. My father-in-law was in the Dutch Army and was POW for 4 yrs. Just loved being there. Even saw the Queen at the Maargratan American cemetery in 1969 for the 25 years after WW2. Lot of great times.

[@ozgoldebronokia8210]

Wow, great experience. I don't expect that Indonesian foods have rooted on the Dutch cuisine for a long time. Probably brought by Indo people leaving Indonesia in 1957 - 58. Bahmi? What's that? A kind of noodle? Maybe it's bakmi. Here in Jakarta, you can find bakmi (and nasi goreng) in almost every single street, either on the street vendor or restaurant.

[@otto3619]

Ozgol Debron bami is how the Dutch call Baki, although it’s not exactly the same. Before the second world war you could also buy it in the Netherlands, but it became a popular dish because of all the Molukkers coming form Indonesia to the Netherlands after WW2.

[@gardensofthegods]

Yeah it must have been nice there back in the late 60s... no Vietnam War, no riots in the streets , no assassinations.. looks like it was a really great place to be back in the day . And it does look really clean... must have been great for you .

[@luxembourger]

I am an expat at the moment living in Maastricht, near that NATO Base. And it is still is very clean and friendly.

[@joopdelaat4517]

toen was nederland nog aangenaam en rustig om er te wonen .

[@thorfinnmckenzie]

Holy crap, the boy's English is great.

[@jessar82]

Oh damn, Michael Rogge passed away this year; what a loss. RIP mate, your work will live forever

[@michaelijsbrand]

The latest count is that there is 1.1 bike per inhabitant in Holland. So around 17 million bikes in total !

[@supervlad1]

Michael, I just saw this now. Very interesting... Is this you - that boy? And how was the film shot, is it some kind of professional production, or family project? Who is the cameraman? Can you elaborate please? :)

[@michaelijsbrand]

@@supervlad1 I didn't take this documentary film and have no more particulars. The boy has never responded, nor does anyone seem to know who he was. His so-called sister has responded though. See below.

[@supervlad1]

MichaelRogge Hmmm interesting, thanks!

[@Emmyhorstkamp-storeytarris]

We were just there! I fell in love with Amsterdam what a lovely place.

I like the way he rides his bike, seated on the rear carrier instead of the saddle!

[@MRazzouki]

Mooi filmpje hoor meneer MichaelRogge. Ik heb overigens meerdere delen filmpjes van u gezien. Prachtige tijden, zo kon ik het destijds herinneren in het nieuw westMijn vraag: welke videocamera had u hiervoor gebruikt.

[@michaelijsbrand]

Deze clip is gebaseerd op een documentaire, waarschijnlijk om amerikaanse kinderen in te lichten over leven in andere landen. Zelf gebruikte ik in Amsterdam tot 1949 een Pathesope 9,5mm camera. Later ging ik over op een 16mm Paillard Bolex Reflex camera en gebruikte meest Kodachrome film. De film Bloed Zweet en Tranen over André Hazes begint met mijn opnames van Amsterdam in 1955

[@VonDutchNL]

Ik ben dan wel pas 30, maar op 1 of andere manier vind ik deze filmpjes heerlijk om te zien. Zeer nostalgisch.

[@jimimurti]

Waardevol historisch document.

[@michaelijsbrand]

@wanderinggoose . No it is not the kid of my brother! Was it not president Bush who loved the chocolate 'muisjes' too and was always presented some boxes.

[@rubenproost2552]

I think it was Elvis P

[@RiccardoVincelli]

Lunch voor papa van mama: stukje kaas tussen twee beschimmelde sneetjes brood, wat een moeite zeg ahaha

[@fullthrottlealways]

Michael: As I watched this I couldn't help but notice in the classroom scenes, all the children were actually Dutch. I've been to Holland (cousin works for Shell, lives in Delft) and the mix today is very different. At the risk of offense, do you think the heavy influx of Muslim immigrants since this time has had a positive or negative influence on your home country?

[@michaelijsbrand]

+Chris Reed . Every era poses a new challenge. Half of Amsterdam is composed now of postwar immigrants

[@fullthrottlealways]

+MichaelRogge I live in Texas and our Southern border with Mexico has been under siege for decades. We now have between 11 and 30 million illegal immigrants running around here with our President pushing and pushing for more to cross over. The net effect has been tremendous. I wish I could tell you it was positive. All the best!

[@FIWspaceelite]

+Chris Reed You are an illegal immigrant yourself, did the natives welcome your ancestors with open arms or did they just stole the land of the natives?

[@fullthrottlealways]

+Mirko H. My ancestors were largely settlers not illegal immigrants. Settlers and immigrants differ fundamentally. Settlers leave an existing society, usually in a group, in order to create a new community in a new and often distant territory. They are imbued with a sense of collective purpose. Implicitly or explicitly they subscribe to a compact or charter that defines the basis of the community they create and their collective relation to their mother country. The latest wave of illegals in my state are the underclass of Mexico, largely the least skilled, with no real plan or collective purpose. I live here, I see my culture under seize and so does Mr. Rogge in his country (read his words closely), he's just too polite to mention it openly.

[@styzoom]

+Chris Reed Current mix of city people in Holland is very different than just a few decades ago. We are facing attacks on our liberties and our well being as a nation is suffering. The first wave of immigrants from Muslim countries were at the begininning detached from their old, poor and islam dominated countries. They came to work and seemed to integrate fairly well. But socialist policies offered immigrants the opportunity to invite all other family members, religious leaders et cetera. Generous welfare and disability insurance clogged up the system. Multiculturalism was still the norm. People were encouraged to keep their traditions and religion. Now we face huge integration problems, islam is very dominant and a non forgiven and destructive force (women rights, gay rights are not respected, and never will). It tore up the whole country. As much as Christianity is hated in Holland this much is islam loved by mainly left wing parties. Crime rates and unemployment under 4th generation Muslims are a disaster.

[@freddywessels2941]

mee eens dus:voor iedereen waren de jaren,50,60,70 voor iedereen de fijnste leukste tijd uit ieders jeugd,maar dit is nederland,waarom in het engels?

[@michaelijsbrand]

Dit soort films zag je in Nederland niet. Ze waren bedoeld om Nederland in het buitenland te introduceren. Dit was waarschijnlijk een onderwijsfilm die op amerikaanse scholen geprojecteerd werd. Heel veel landen kregen de over hen gemaakte films niet te zien, aangezien dat water naar de zee dragen was. Alleen nu landen zo veranderd zijn beginnen die semi-propaganda of reisfilms interessant te worden en een herinnering aan hoe de wereld er vroeger uit zag.

[@janklaassen4214]

amsterdam,before coming the moslims,very beautyfull city ,now?

Wat heeft het met Moslims te maken?Ik als moslim kwam ik net hier aan in Nederland :/. Wat een commentaar van u wellicht van een volwassen vent. Jammer

[@johankeessen5504]

Zo zo zo haalt u nooit chinees eten? Of een broodje shoarma ,pizza ect ect etc De buitenlanders hebben dit juist mee gebracht en is dus een verrijking van de maatschappij ( cultuur) Verder moet ik u er op wijzen dat juist in die tijd Nederland zat te springen om buitenlander Lauter omdat de mensen in die tijd niet het werk wilde doen wat er was Dat heten toen gastarbeider ,,ik heb altijd geleerd dat je voor gasten goed moet zijn,nou ik kan u vertellen wij hebben ze uitgebuit En dan zwijg ik nog maar over de overzeese gebieden,,,een schande met heel onze VOC mentaliteit En dan te zeggen: af en toe een bruin gezicht te zien Gvd scheer je weg op internet lamzak,maar wel proberen om een bruin gezicht te krijgen door op vakantie te gaan naar een zonnige bestemming klootzak

Hagelslaag! Just one of my memories of when I was a boy in Amsterdam at this time (1970-1975). (Ik ben Amerikaan.) And I went to the Montessori school & Lyceum. Memories. Vanuit mijn jeugd. En zeer leuke filmpje!

[@gardensofthegods]

It must have been great to be a kid there back in those days ... how do you feel about how it is nowadays ?

[@clacicle]

I grew up there from 73 until 85. This film really brings back many memories. It was a great place to grow up.
