My god, 1935, almost all of the people filmed, except for the youngest of children in end, have left us already quite some time ago. And yet, it was like being there with all of them. Excellent piece of work. ❤
Hey what are implying..many of us still around and what’s more can fully master computers . Never got to Denmark in those days but can recognize the kids in me !
we all die friend. no one will really care when you're dead so do what you need to now. you think anyone cares about some roman slaves that were mistreated and died without ever knowing joy?
OMG , it's all so nice ! Perhaps the quite before the storm of the 40' . So beautiful to see the dressing , the machines , the boats the daily objects and so much dignity and elegance on the largest part of the people .
it didn't break loose, as you put it, it was all very carefully engineered right from the start, to the victors the spoils, which didn't seem to work out very well for the British population who never saw any post-war prosperity, unlike Germany and Japan, both of which certainly went from strength to strength, strange that, isn't it?
@@baronmeduse Its not. But digitalization of movie track(film) 35mm is much easier and look better then VHS ot TV track. Thats why old movies with color looks so good....
Beautiful architecture of the buildings, stylish cars, stylish clothes, safe and clean streets with plants embellishing walls, people acting maturely and respectfully to each other even when partying. Everyone looks very healthy and beautiful, too.
This video reminds me of the simpler life even as late as 1990s when we were kids. Nature, respect, no mobile phones, activities to keep you engaged for hours with no end result, bouncing a ball against a wall all day. Amazing times.
Hot take maybe, but 2013 and on is when I believe the downfall of authentic social activities happened. Maybe not universally, but surely within the empires of the world.

I truly enjoy videos like this. Such a magical time and place. It saddens me greatly to know that the horrors of WWII lurk just around the corner and in all everyone you see in these is long gone.
It looks like a golden age, watching it now. Wonderful to see children playing, but it does make you realise we have lost something precious with all our wonderful technology and advancements.
Past always looks like the golden age, doesn't it? It is wonderful that - for example - it is no longer for the privileged to create and watch audiovisual content. Technological advancements made all that essentially free.
Some of that "old" architecture really seems to fit into the environment better. Modern architecture often seems to want to "stand out" and often times old trees are cut down to make way for a more "manicured" look.
I remember commenting to my father, who was born in 1932. How wonderful life would have been to be rich at that time. He responded with, "lifes wonderful in any decade when you’re rich"
Yeah I agree with the op in the sense that this doesn't show the struggles of the time, it's just a snapshot after all! There will never not be things to struggle with and ugly sides of society, what exactly those things are changes over time, although there is often some commonality between them. (For example, you will always have malicious people, and self-sacrificing people)
I love how the Danes make every moment of sunshine count, I've been there when it rains all day and stops for an hour and everyone suddenly appears outside, it just strikes me as such a positive attitude.
Yes! I was born in Denmark, to American teacher parents. When I returned to visit Denmark, Danish family friends explained (and my folks had experienced), it's gray, cold and not much sun through the winter. So when Spring and Summer fling, Danes make sure to enjoy it. Sunbathe in parks, topless beaches... No AC in buses explained that ther're only a few really hot days, so...
even the dock workers were dressed well. it isn't just about looking good or pride, it also shows respect for the people around you. a foreign concept today.
I honestly fail to understand why I should dress to respect everyone around me... I'm definitely not a crowd pleaser, and never even met a single soul in my whole life that dressed with the purpose of showing respect to me, or anyone else for that matter! And if I'm "dressed well", 99% of the time I do it just for myself and no one else, with respect not even showing up last in the list of reasons... unless it's a funeral or something similar.
@@you2be839 Narcissist much? Actually you probably do "dress to impress" by conforming to popular norms and be accepted by the crowd around you. Guaranteed.
Lest we be too hasty and fail to remember that many of these "popular norms" reinforce dichotomized socialization patterns which seek to exclude those who are unable to don such garb. Sexist & misogynistic, racist, and classist stereotypes or expectations that are reproduced through society that choke one's ability to think critically about their own needs, as well as providing a blank slate for the individual to determine how they want to dress. All that being said, I'm not opposed to people "dressing to impress," and in fact, clothing which makes people feel confident is the prerogative here -- but it should be the ability of the individual to determine what that means.
Agree with you, Uber neanderthal! I am tired of the excuses from modern generations that discount the need for people to show respect for others and their culture....by WEARING GOOD CLOTHES in public!!
Lovely. It’s hard to look at these films of Western European cities in the early 20th century, compare their lives to our society today, and not think we have taken giant steps backwards. Pity on us here in 2023.
This video looks nice but daily life in that time was dramatically different. I looked it up, Unemployment in Denmark in the early 1930s stood at 40%. Modern Western Europeans can't imagine the misery of the Great Depression. We shouldn't be nostalgic about times that we never experienced.
@@p.nguyen8136 I am very nostalgic about a time that I never experienced and am proud of it. This because I know for a fact that in the 1930s Denmark there were no selfish young neighbours playing very loud music until the early hours of morning, for example. The technology used in domestic sound equipment alone was not any near what it is today. There was no ageism as today. People on their 50s were not considered half dead as it is today. The ruthless ageism became widespread in Western societies after the 60s. Food was certainly better because most of it was naturally "organic". Potatoes tasted like potatoes, not flour . I ate some organic potatoes , not the ones you find in supermarket, and it tasted as if it was a different vegetable, not the potatoes I normally eat. And I ate meat in my country at a time when all meat was naturally "organic" . I never ate red meat here that tasted any good as the meat I ate when I was younger. The mass production of food does take the part of the taste of food away. That time, I could go to a pub or its equivalent in Denmark without being subjected to AWFUL, loud music or screaming TVs. Just talk, relax, and maybe sometimes there would be good music played by a real musician, not something coming from the walls. There was no mass of people, mainly young, addicted to porn movies which are available in mobile phones today with all of it is mostly demeaning depiction of women. Two young men would not beat to death a gay man whilst being filmed by a teenager woman. I could go on and on. Incidentally, there was a social reform in Denmark in 1933 . It created a fund for unemployment, for example. So, yes, I do feel nostalgic about a time and place such as Denmark in 1935, where there was no widespread terrorism whilst people today can not even write, on any form of social media, against the perpetrators of widespread terrorism .
The restoration is far from excellent. Incidentally, have you seen the original films to compare them with this compilation ? And there is nothing amazing about the sound. It's as fake as the colours. Look at the images around 3.40 . Look at people's mouth. Nobody is whooping yet you hear the sound of a crowd whooping. Unethical descriptions of history such as this video get away with their fakeness only because there are so many gullible people out there.
I'm from a city just north of Copenhagen and have lived in the Copenhagen area for 95% of my life. So fascinating to see when you know the places and how they look today. 1935 is when my grandparents were young kids. I usually mostly watch those videos when they are older, only choosing to watch it because it's from Copenhagen. Byt being a bit newer also made it more fascinating as the picture quality was better, maybe that's also what made the peoples look even more real than in is of the other videos I have watched. Though there were some color issues, for instance, the S-trains probably were red if not maybe dark green, anyway pretty sure they never were black like that. It's also an interesting time as it's from shortly before WW2.
@@totalfreedom45 What do you have against white people having their own countries? China is full of Chinese and Iran full of Iranians but how dare white Europeans have a home of their own. Race is family. People that look like you are much much more genetically like you than other races. People are most comfortable among family for they all share blood and history and have similar cultural values. Diversity equals division and people have to be coerced or right out threatened to embrace it. Racism is tribalism, tribalism is innate to all mankind and a mechanism of evolution. Tribalism is a system for the survival of ones own kind. Diversity of nations does NOT occur naturally but rather by force of empire building or economic immigration. Diversity requires powerful and a forceful governments to keep cohesion in any diverse country for the natural or innate forces of tribalism is always present.
Uhhh, not really. Most people over 30 lived without smartphones and there was nothing particularly intricate or beautiful about it. In fact you can still live without smartphone today and it won't change shit.
Absolutely not true. You're seeing a lot of rich people on holiday in this film, and not every day reality. . Domestic violence was widespread. Alcoholism was an epidemic.

@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 Maybe the OP was just applying their comment to all of Europe, not just Denmark, wishing all of it was like the example in the video. And honestly, many places outside Europe, would also be great to still be in much simpler times.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502France, Germany, England could show similar scenes. What's your point? Yeah Denmark is not Norway, and Norway is not spain. But they have a lot in common. People eventually will realise that.
Just a percolating time bomb of a massive world war looming right next door that, if unchecked and almost completely ignored, will cause 75 million deaths in four years time.
Less litter because less platsic, not because people were cleaner. Recycling is pretty modern. Vandalism (and crime) is of all ages and not noticeable worse nowadays. If anything life has become safer. Polution? Considering the coal that will be used it was without a doubt worse than in the 21st century. We did dip in the seventies/80ies due to leaded fuel, but that is gone now. You can notice it in how much less soot there is on buidlings compared to 30 years ago.
My parents immigrated from Denmark around 1958. They met in Canada and the rest is history. I always wondered how my life might have been in l was born Denmark vs Canada. Can not complain really had a fairly good life here.
People that time could not physically get the amount of calories we can get today. Of course they do not look overweight. Nitrogen fertilizer was invented only in 1911 by Fritz Haber. This invention is the reason a half of the world's population is alive now.
At least this was real. No commercial bs as you would see of our today live, where everything is just a lie. Society as a whole has gotten so much worse since then.. and if you can't see it, you're blind fool.

Reminds me of the Tagore poem: "Who are you, reader, reading my poems a hundred years hence? I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds. Open your doors and look abroad. From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before. In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning, sending its glad voice across an hundred years.”
Tout à fait. En France, les années 50 que j'ai connues étaient très semblables à ce qu'on voit ici, à part les voitures évidemment. Les grands changements arriveront à la fin des années 60. Après, ce sera le chaos des années 90.
And then again; our "modern" time will soon be past and longed towards like this. In this video you only see the surface and not the general inequalily in that society.
I wonder how many of people making these kinds of comments have been to modern day Copenhagen or realize that in those days a minor medical issue by todays standards would have a 99% kill rate... No, life then wasn't as romantic as it seems here. Not to mention being on the cusp of WWII.
@@stysner4580 please, don't bother preaching about WW 2. My grandparents, both on my father's side and mothers side, were under the wrath of Japanese occupation in Hong Konng and the Philippines. So with their experiences I know what their lives have been on a day to day basis of survival. Life was better even 10-15 years ago, compared to what it is now, not having to visit Copenhagen.
@@rugby86 so what about "life is better in most part of the world" do you not understand? It might be that where you live life is worse, but life in Copenhagen and most of Europe is vastly better now than it was 100 years ago. It's not even close. You're romanticizing a time period, not knowing about half of the hardships they had that we do not.

All these people have played out their stories, experienced their time of existence in this universe. It's amazing we get to see a glimpse of it
It looks like a golden age, watching it now. Wonderful to see children playing, but it does make you realise we have lost something precious with all our wonderful technology and advancements.
No obesity either
October 1935 was when Mussolini's regime invaded Ethiopia and kicked off the age of facist expansionism. This video is like the calm before the storm.
Past always looks like the golden age, doesn't it? It is wonderful that - for example - it is no longer for the privileged to create and watch audiovisual content. Technological advancements made all that essentially free.
What the fuck dude, ww2 was just around the corner when this was filmed. 4 years later, the whole world was burning.
Hopefully these things come in cycles and we will once again appreciate the things around us.
Some of that "old" architecture really seems to fit into the environment better. Modern architecture often seems to want to "stand out" and often times old trees are cut down to make way for a more "manicured" look.
Brutalism caught on in America
I think the majority of whats in these film snippets is still there, i could recognize lots of it.
Manicured isn’t the word butchered seems to imply
Yes, in the case of Copenhagen, much of it is exactly the same today
Beautiful Native Europe.
yes now CPH people are extremely ugly, appalling even 😂
I remember commenting to my father, who was born in 1932. How wonderful life would have been to be rich at that time. He responded with, "lifes wonderful in any decade when you’re rich"
life is beautiful when you are healthy
rich alone wasn't enough and never will be enough. health is also a wealth
Yeah I agree with the op in the sense that this doesn't show the struggles of the time, it's just a snapshot after all!
There will never not be things to struggle with and ugly sides of society, what exactly those things are changes over time, although there is often some commonality between them. (For example, you will always have malicious people, and self-sacrificing people)
Except if you were a rich French aristocrat in the 1790s.
@FordHoard yes there was a slight downside to being rich, then
The children in the film are now 100 years old! OMG
Thanks for uploading!

Incredible beauty in these images
What a clean , beautiful ordered society and city.
Oh you sweet summer child.
No graffiti no rubbish - just beautiful architecture and people
Without phone glued to people's ears and homogeneous society
why would anyone waste expensive movie film on graffiti and rubbish?!
You don't jufge our society based on our movies though

This is footage of high society, there was prolific poverty and child labor going on in the world at this time as well.
No one is talking about how much work he had with this footage. He restored it so it looks like a video from nowadays.
"state-of-the-art machine learning methods" That's AI. Not so much work I guess.
A computer did that, he just loaded the old video in and it did rest of the job...
I love how the Danes make every moment of sunshine count, I've been there when it rains all day and stops for an hour and everyone suddenly appears outside, it just strikes me as such a positive attitude.
Yes! I was born in Denmark, to American teacher parents. When I returned to visit Denmark, Danish family friends explained (and my folks had experienced), it's gray, cold and not much sun through the winter. So when Spring and Summer fling, Danes make sure to enjoy it. Sunbathe in parks, topless beaches... No AC in buses explained that ther're only a few really hot days, so...
the sad reality of Europe and its cold, cold people.

@@carlcushmanhybels8159It’s a scandinavian thing. It’s an outdoor culture.
even the dock workers were dressed well. it isn't just about looking good or pride, it also shows respect for the people around you. a foreign concept today.
I honestly fail to understand why I should dress to respect everyone around me... I'm definitely not a crowd pleaser, and never even met a single soul in my whole life that dressed with the purpose of showing respect to me, or anyone else for that matter!
And if I'm "dressed well", 99% of the time I do it just for myself and no one else, with respect not even showing up last in the list of reasons... unless it's a funeral or something similar.
And no one is fat.
@@you2be839 Narcissist much? Actually you probably do "dress to impress" by conforming to popular norms and be accepted by the crowd around you. Guaranteed.
Lest we be too hasty and fail to remember that many of these "popular norms" reinforce dichotomized socialization patterns which seek to exclude those who are unable to don such garb. Sexist & misogynistic, racist, and classist stereotypes or expectations that are reproduced through society that choke one's ability to think critically about their own needs, as well as providing a blank slate for the individual to determine how they want to dress.
All that being said, I'm not opposed to people "dressing to impress," and in fact, clothing which makes people feel confident is the prerogative here -- but it should be the ability of the individual to determine what that means.
Agree with you, Uber neanderthal! I am tired of the excuses from modern generations that discount the need for people to show respect for others and their culture....by WEARING GOOD CLOTHES in public!!
Lovely. It’s hard to look at these films of Western European cities in the early 20th century, compare their lives to our society today, and not think we have taken giant steps backwards. Pity on us here in 2023.
This video looks nice but daily life in that time was dramatically different. I looked it up, Unemployment in Denmark in the early 1930s stood at 40%. Modern Western Europeans can't imagine the misery of the Great Depression. We shouldn't be nostalgic about times that we never experienced.
@@p.nguyen8136 That is true, but look around in Western European big cities now what you see is dramatically different too.
multi kulti shit today.....😖
@@p.nguyen8136 I am very nostalgic about a time that I never experienced and am proud of it. This because I know for a fact that in the 1930s Denmark there were no selfish young neighbours playing very loud music until the early hours of morning, for example. The technology used in domestic sound equipment alone was not any near what it is today.
There was no ageism as today. People on their 50s were not considered half dead as it is today. The ruthless ageism became widespread in Western societies after the 60s.
Food was certainly better because most of it was naturally "organic". Potatoes tasted like potatoes, not flour . I ate some organic potatoes , not the ones you find in supermarket, and it tasted as if it was a different vegetable, not the potatoes I normally eat. And I ate meat in my country at a time when all meat was naturally "organic" . I never ate red meat here that tasted any good as the meat I ate when I was younger. The mass production of food does take the part of the taste of food away.
That time, I could go to a pub or its equivalent in Denmark without being subjected to AWFUL, loud music or screaming TVs. Just talk, relax, and maybe sometimes there would be good music played by a real musician, not something coming from the walls.
There was no mass of people, mainly young, addicted to porn movies which are available in mobile phones today with all of it is mostly demeaning depiction of women.
Two young men would not beat to death a gay man whilst being filmed by a teenager woman. I could go on and on. Incidentally, there was a social reform in Denmark in 1933 . It created a fund for unemployment, for example.
So, yes, I do feel nostalgic about a time and place such as Denmark in 1935, where there was no widespread terrorism whilst people today can not even write, on any form of social media, against the perpetrators of widespread terrorism .
@umberto aguiar I couldn't agree more. You are absolutely right 💯. 👏👏👏👏
For all those wondering, the audio is fake. I'm a sound engineer and add this audio for these kinds of silent films.
This is awesome! Incredible quality.
Thank you :)
Excellent restoration and the pseudo sound track is absolutely amazing.....Brings the whole clip to life...
The restoration is far from excellent. Incidentally, have you seen the original films to compare them with this compilation ?
And there is nothing amazing about the sound. It's as fake as the colours. Look at the images around 3.40 . Look at people's mouth. Nobody is whooping yet you hear the sound of a crowd whooping. Unethical descriptions of history such as this video get away with their fakeness only because there are so many gullible people out there.
Can you imagine, they survived without their face stuck to a smartphone and without internet ..
I am amazed at how crisp and clear the images are. Well done.
To think the quality and definition of these old videos will get even better in time makes me really excited.
It all seems so civilized.
Just wait four years.
@@malcolmbogie stop crying
No ghettoizing
No blacks and arabs, very civil
exactly the world was more civilised before.
I'm from a city just north of Copenhagen and have lived in the Copenhagen area for 95% of my life. So fascinating to see when you know the places and how they look today.
1935 is when my grandparents were young kids.
I usually mostly watch those videos when they are older, only choosing to watch it because it's from Copenhagen.
Byt being a bit newer also made it more fascinating as the picture quality was better, maybe that's also what made the peoples look even more real than in is of the other videos I have watched.
Though there were some color issues, for instance, the S-trains probably were red if not maybe dark green, anyway pretty sure they never were black like that.
It's also an interesting time as it's from shortly before WW2.
The trains were brown. Even in the 50ies when I was a child they were brown.
Wow I'm still shocked by just how much things have changed in a century.
Großartige Arbeit !!!!!!Danke.
Danke für das Lob!
It’s AMAZING how intricate & beautiful society was when everyone was looking AT each other instead of looking down at our smartphones.
the world was a better place when the races did not mix
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db You're full of racism, not full of peace to all. 💕☮🌎🌌
@@totalfreedom45 What do you have against white people having their own countries? China is full of Chinese and Iran full of Iranians but how dare white Europeans have a home of their own.
Race is family. People that look like you are much much more genetically like you than other races. People are most comfortable among family for they all share blood and history and have similar cultural values. Diversity equals division and people have to be coerced or right out threatened to embrace it. Racism is tribalism, tribalism is innate to all mankind and a mechanism of evolution. Tribalism is a system for the survival of ones own kind. Diversity of nations does NOT occur naturally but rather by force of empire building or economic immigration. Diversity requires powerful and a forceful governments to keep cohesion in any diverse country for the natural or innate forces of tribalism is always present.
Uhhh, not really. Most people over 30 lived without smartphones and there was nothing particularly intricate or beautiful about it. In fact you can still live without smartphone today and it won't change shit.
Absolutely not true. You're seeing a lot of rich people on holiday in this film, and not every day reality. . Domestic violence was widespread. Alcoholism was an epidemic.
This city is amazing in those days, it looked much better than it really is today.
Benefits of mostly homogenous society with wealth and intelligence.
I had to keep reminding myself that this was ACTUAL footage from the era because the restoration and quality is so good it actually looked like modern footage of people dressed up in period costumes 👌

És tão animador ver muitas crianças brincando juntas, ao ar livre, e pessoas contemplado o calor e a luz do verão.
no litter, no graffiti, no vandalism, minimum pollution 👌
Just a percolating time bomb of a massive world war looming right next door that, if unchecked and almost completely ignored, will cause 75 million deaths in four years time.
No stupid-ass tattoos of skulls or barbed wire either
By 1939' Poland is invaded and WW2 & Holocaust dumpster fire will begin. By 1940' Denmark will be invaded by nazi germany & become a door mat.
Graffiti always existed - try visting Roman monuments.
Less litter because less platsic, not because people were cleaner. Recycling is pretty modern. Vandalism (and crime) is of all ages and not noticeable worse nowadays. If anything life has become safer. Polution? Considering the coal that will be used it was without a doubt worse than in the 21st century. We did dip in the seventies/80ies due to leaded fuel, but that is gone now. You can notice it in how much less soot there is on buidlings compared to 30 years ago.

Not one single overweight or obese person and yet no one was on a diet.
People that time could not physically get the amount of calories we can get today. Of course they do not look overweight. Nitrogen fertilizer was invented only in 1911 by Fritz Haber. This invention is the reason a half of the world's population is alive now.
because people were working hard and didnt had any electronics like TV to sit and watch the entire day
McDonalds wasn't invented yet...
Far less available food at the time.
everyone married at their 17-20, had 3 children until 25, and was grandparent at their 35. Lucky and rich people managed to live beyond their 50's.
Thank you 👍for your time, effort and devotion to making this Colourize these scenes from 1935,👍
Thank you :)
My Father was just 5 in (35’) - he passed away 20 years ago. Such an incredible video.
My hot take is that while technology has advanced, society has regressed.
Import the third world, become the third world.
In what way
In the modern age the antichrist is king
Looking at the comments here your take isn't even lukewarm. People romanticize a film already made to show the best of society then.
At least this was real.
No commercial bs as you would see of our today live, where everything is just a lie.
Society as a whole has gotten so much worse since then.. and if you can't see it, you're blind fool.
The addition of color enhances the viewing experience and adds a greater sense of impact.
Life was looking better in 1935.
