Henry Ford FULL DOCUMENTARY | American Experience | PBS America

Фильм және анимация

An absorbing story of a farm boy who became the most influential American innovator of the 20th century, and an incisive look at the birth of the American auto industry with its long history of struggles between labor and management. This is a thought-provoking reminder of how Ford's automobile forever changed the way we work and live, and our ideas about individuality, freedom and possibility. #PBSAmerica #HenryFord #Cars #Ford

    I am in Victoria, and been a Ford bloke for over 40 years, proudly sucked the headlight out of anything Holden way back in the 80's at the Dandy drags, loved my first Ford, XB 351 in all black. I have been to the Geelong plant 20 years ago as they were a client of mine, was a real eye opener to see the in's and out's. Also people should read his book ''The International Jew'', as he was spot on about them. My first car was a V8 Ford, and now as an old bloke I still drive a Ford V8 and looking at a stang when I get my hands on my super fund in a year or so.

    Interesting fact is that he didn't realize that the world evolved trough a mass consumption mechanism and that consumers minds evolved demanding different products, this is really a great way to study them in favor of your company, analizyng consumers needs is a great practice. This fact is a gift to us from this documentary.

    All i have heard are snippets of the Legend. This was an incredible documentary that opened my eyes. Ford was one of the biggest folk heroes America has produced. His criticism of the " money-changers " put him into a very precarious position as far as his place in history. I am more than half-way into the video. So far it seems balanced. I wanted to cry when i found out about " Greenfield Village ". I than wanted to cry again at the end with the death of Henry's son Edsel. This documentary is almost a Greek tragedy. I feel this documentary is a very loving - but very fair description.

    There is a reason why the Model T beat out all the other cars from all the other companies - the width of the wheel track exactly matched the carriage ruts left by horse-drawn vehicles; so, where other cars couldn't make it along all the muddy roads of cities at that time, the Model T could use the shallow compacted mud at the bottom of carriage wheel ruts, and drive at normal speed.

Henry stood up to the parasite & tried to alert the world to their antihuman filth.

Reading the book "coming out of the ice" gives a good insight into this piece of history. Just like many other companies at that time, that still exists, they played both sides and as usual war is great business. Speaking of Patton, he didn´t want to stop in Germany, but go on and crush the red terror threatening the whole of Europe... he was a lone voice tough and had the western power-houses against him who had invested heavily into Soviet.

    Henry Ford could not do the complex math and physics when designing a car, but I heard that he had a brilliant engineer working for him who did most of the ground work and Henry would check over it, make any changes and pass it. That is how, I suppose, the model 'T' came into being. It isn't an ordinary car, upon closer look you can see it has many aspects of a properly engineered vehicle for the time when proper roads were few and especially the rural folk were far out in the outback. The railways had laid the foundations for connecting the country and Henry must have thought the car would do the same at a personal level. The 'Fordlandia' project was mentioned, but in passing toward the end. I think this was one of Henry's brilliant projects to warrant in depth presentation. Ford also had an assembly plant in Japan back then, which churned out cars in tendem with Japanese home grown manufacturers. I am not sure if Ford had in Henry's time a plant in India, which is a major market (GM had an assembly plant there in the 30's), and latin America.

In those early pioneering days, there were a few schooled engineers, mostly who were into railways, ship building and bridge building.

    Exactly. Henry Ford as an adult must have completely forgotten the sacrifice his farmer parents made by letting him freely abandon farming work to live the life he wanted and pursue his dreams and happiness by his own standards, and he unfortunately never grew intelligent enough to give the same to his own son, even though he may have had benevolent intentions at the root. This phenomenon is quite observable at other points in his life, and in other remarks and observations he made, too: a very good, but superficial observer, never looking for an explanation deeper than what seems to satisfy contemporary practical needs. Try to explain to the first man on Earth who said "The Sun revolves around the Earth and therefore the Earth is not flat in all probability." that he is not 100% right...

Without which he would have probably remained a bitter, mediocre farmer, perhaps financially well off, but mourning his unborn inventions all his life deep inside. Fathers who are turned into self made men by the circumstances of their own lives - not only in the classical, capitalist sense of the expression, but who have to become young adults very fast for some reason, often fall into this trap of selfishness despite the best of intentions. They fail to realise the son is not another invention, concept, blueprint or project of theirs but a sovereign individual with his own plans and ideas.

After that, they get down to business and it's not worth watching (and it makes me wonder why I wasted an hour looking at the first part - foolish of me to expect any better of PBS). As to Henry Ford; no-one's perfect but, one way or another, he contributed more to the working class than almost anyone else I can think of. Certainly, more than any socialist who comes to mind. Can you think of anyone who benefited the working class more than Henry Ford? It's an interesting question.

    He was a Jew hating Nazi and he hugely admired Adolf Hitler and the Nazi rule of Germany. He even gave Adolf and the Nazis large sums of money in support. Ford was a criminal and an execrable example of a human. Millions would happily take a shit on his grave, as would I, he was a piece of scum that ought to have been hanged.

    An outstanding personality with extreme innovation and dynamics. Not very known, he invented a car mainly built and powered by hemp. Too bad that didn’t evolve. I can’t understand why he was a strong antisemite and even supported the Nazis quite heavily. Well, even in a brilliant mind , some crude weirdness can hide. But it definitely wasn’t fair to reduce him on this facet, even when it’s standing out that significant. Great documentary 👍🪬👀🇨🇭

Building a type of cheap car that everybody could have. 11:28 Wants to create a car for the people, not an expensive one to sell to wealthy people. Hate the people who invested with him. 13:28 Mobil race. You can be reckless and take such risks that you can't be afraid of failure. 17:03 Charisma, vision, and dream. His mind went to the farmer and to the people who lived in the hinterland. 18:55 Development. 20:33 The T model only sells for $850, the average is $2000. Ordering is. 23:40 Ford wants his son to spend as much time as possible in the factory. Tougher on son than anyone else. They are creating problems and solving them. 25:00 Bussiness is to sell cheap products. To break through. Assembling one car takes 12 hours and 13 minutes. 28:45 Efficiency of time. Boring time, the sound of the machine. 31:40 Strategy of repeat workers. Secret meeting. 35:00 Same work but different income. 36:21 Seems more uninteresting with money than in being in the public spotlight. Money did not change him. Still love nothing more than home-cooked meals and afternoons working on the farm. Genious adventure with simple taste. Hardworking, mechanical genius. 38:45 The ego 40:51 43:40 Home 55:56 Ego, being the center of the spotlight 58:25 Hate wallstreet and investor 1:00:08 Support 1:03:17 Published the article: Jews, control, manipulate world, link to Wall Street, etc 1:05:45 1:07:02 He deemed about Jews 1:11:32 Tension 1:14:11 1:14:57 Announcement of the new car 1:17:18 Never forgave 1:18:30 Big factories at the Rouge River under his control and leadership. 75k employes 1:24:10 Hometown, Nostalgia, hate the Rouge, love Greenfield Village 1:27:32 Crisis, stock market, layoff 1:32:13 Tension 1:32:58 Edsel style.

Yet also a person with many personality traits that fair minded people despise and revile from both then and especially now. So no doubting his genius but it tempers the admiration. somewhat.
