I think the look in their eyes is more like "the heck is that guy doing" they didn't have the "are you recording me?" face. Which probably culturally didn't develop until film cameras were much more common. Which would mean that this is TRULY a day in life in Paris in 1920. No acting or "cutesy" play alongs for the camera. The look, the eyes, the emotions expressed all real, authentic, and in the moment.

There is something magical about watching retro chronicles. On the one hand, you envy such moments, that calm, simple time, as it seems to you. On the other hand, you feel sad when, unlike these people, you know what will happen in 20 years. How many small universes have we been able to photograph? You ask yourself the question - how did life turn out for these people smiling at the camera? Everyone has their own story, experiences and hope for happiness. Есть что-то магическое в просмотре ретро хроники. С одной стороны, ты завидуешь таким моментам, тому спокойному, простому, как тебе кажется, времени. С другой стороны тебя не покидает грусть, когда ты, в отличие от этих людей, знаешь, что произойдёт через 20 лет. Сколько маленьких вселенных удалось заснять. Ты задаешь себе вопрос - как сложилась жизнь у этих улыбающихся на камеру людей? У каждого своя история, переживания и надежда на счастье.

Today no one would even know these people ever existed if it weren’t for this video. And my heart goes out for so many of them. The man with the dog puppet. The guy who seems to think to himself “oh screw it” before he kisses the lady on the shoulder. The lady who just got kissed on her shoulder but remains sprawled out like she didn’t even notice. The man in uniform getting his shoe polished as well as the shoe polisher (that was a thing!). The incredibly stylish women and girls as well as the older lady selling newspapers with the Victorian era updo.

Such a cool video! I would not like to have lived back then. It looks so stuffy. I love that these videos exist. It’s like you’re there.

Sometimes when I drive down the historic streets in my city I picture cars from different times lining the streets and I wonder what it was like to live here in different eras. Love videos like these…❤

It's just amazing to wrap your head around the fact that is a hundred years ago. I was born 60 years ago, so 40 years after this film was taken. And now, 60 years later, the film is 100 years old. Time is such an amazing thing, and to be able to have windows into the past like this are just utterly amazing. Thank you!

I always found it hard to see these people as "real", they're just so far removed from the world today that it feels like something out of a storybook, where everyone was just walking around in this silent, black and white world. But man... this video and others like it really puts things into perspective, they were just people enjoying, struggling, loving, mourning, exploring and just living their lives. I will never, ever know any of these people, I will never know their unique stories, I'll never know their names - but here I am just watching them 100 years later and they'll never know it either. And all because of a little colour - it feels more real. It is amazing and at the same time scary - especially when you realise that one day, 100 years from now someone might be watching a video of you without you ever knowing - they might even read this comment some day, when the internet gets replaced with something more advanced and they look back at it to see how we were so many years ago - and just like these people, they'll see it but they wont ever know who I am

Dear NASS, I have earlier stated that I find your work important but I couldn't quite explain why. Then it hit me. Because your restorations are of such incredible quality, it suddenly becomes shockingly clear to everybody that everything on this planet runs in circles. The stage and story is almost the same but the cast of characters get replaced periodically. Which also means "us" (the viewers). We always "knew" but your quality means we now suddenly also "understand". Given how briefly we are here and that we are just one link in the long chain of life, what is the point in taking ourselves too seriously? And can't we manage to be nice for this one short gig? I think everybody watching your restorations will get some variant of this sentiment. So your efforts might actually have a real peace-keeping effect and that is why I think your work is important.

@@jameswalker6864 Incorrect. The human nature is always the same, and an example to that is the ancient Greek philosophers’ studies that show the same traits, feelings, and emotions etc. You may read Aristotle’s Politics and easily recognise human’s behaviour and motivation for that, remained unchanged until now. What you get with social media, is the same desire for appraisal from others only exaggerated due to lack of real life grumpy face-to-face criticism. Outside internet, you got the same human with the same set of psychology and feelings and instincts that they had for thousands of years. For example, the women still search for a stronger and wealthier man, still maintain the household tasks, men try to find a beautiful one. And in the 1920s they had their social media, poetic and other arts societies, where they groomed themselves, attended, showed their works and appearance and cared for others’ appraisal exactly like they do now. The only difference is the internet as the new technology and a medium for that showcasing. How can human instincts change, how can, say, a desire to be rich change over thousands of years? That’s obvious, nothing changed for thousands of years. And the cultural evolution that you talked about is nothing more than a slight change of the fashion, mannerisms, moves and trends, whereas the nature and the psychology of human is always the same. And now the people of the same age as it is in the video enjoy the company just as much, despite the internet, and young people as well. No one meets with friends specifically to make selfies, they still search a company in them.

Videos aren't more alive than photos, in fact, videos are merely several photos taken in quick succession and put together, yet they feel so much more alive. We're observing a long gone moment in time that is forever captured on film. These people are long gone, every single one of them, unless any potentially captured newborns and toddlers have made it to their 100s, which is rather unlikely, because it's rare. They're all humans like we are, but our experiences with life and the world couldn't be more distinct from one another. I feel like there's something deeply disturbing about being able to get a glimpse into someone's life, who's not here anymore, but we can see them move and interact with one another as if they still are today.

It’s one thing to see a historical movie replicate and realize this era, it’s another thing entirely to watch real footage of it. It just struck me how *normal* everything seems! Ik that sounds weird, but just seeing how everyone pretty much has been the same then and now, just in different clothes and different cars. I’m in Gen Z, and so eras like the 80s or 70s or 60s already just feel other worldly. This was just such a treat to see life 100 years ago, a time that now seems weirdly familiar

It's amazing to finally find someone who being also gen Z put into words exactly the same thing that I have thought since I discovered this type of old footages. Personally, I really enjoy watching them because as you said, they show that the people back then were the "same" as us, just with different technologies, clothing, makeup... (Yeah, it may sound weird, as it's of course obvious they were also humans, but meaning that that era is not as far as we sometimes may think when we talk about it or read about it in the books, those can literally be our great-grandparents, talking about age). And although with the historical movies right now we have the capacity to imagine how was the world 100 year ago, it's not the same feeling when you're *LITERALLY* watching a casual day in Paris, with people who actually existed and that were there just living their daily lives, and who had for sure a family, hobbies and their own problems (not just a bunch of "politic-socioeconomic" information as some people may think about when we talk about the "boring" history). Also, the fact that no one is talking, gives the sensation of being there as someone else looking the city, making it look as a time machine! It's a huge treasure for me :)

the men are in pretty similar attire to what's worm today

My grandpa was a teenager at that time, it’s amazing to think that that was how he saw the world, it’s like I’m seeing through his eyes, Amazing Thanks for another great video

Same, kinda. I am not sure what year these clips are from, but my grandpa was born 1922. It's weird to think that one of those kids near the pond could have easily been my grandpa. He'd obviously be younger then they were, even if this was filmed in the late 20s, but still. It's heart warming :)

The clear and lively look in the eyes of the people, because they had no cellphones. No cellphone-zombies, that was really a great time in 1920.

Very true

Que relíquias. É bom saber que essas gravações sobreviveram 104 anos e é triste lembrar que todas essas pessoas já se foram.

I'm so happy our ancestors had the forethought of recording these, these films truly amaze me at how far we've come since then.

it's not "your acenstors"... it's just some rich dude... Now their grandson is probably an ig influencer taking selfies in nice hotels and yachts everyday

"I see dead people"... seriously they did a great job on this video, it really feels like you're traveling back in time.

Incroyable, Paris avec des français s'y promenant. Je ne croyais jamais voir cela un jour.

I like the way the seats in the cafes are arranged so that everybody at the table is facing out toward the street so they can watch the people going by. I enjoy doing that, too.

In Holland this is normal seating. It's also because no one wants to sit with their backs to the sun. They want to enjoy the sun in their face.
