      Yes, you're not wrong. When I was a kid, it was all the WWII vets still young enough to tell a tale and old enough not to be to self conscious about it. They were a very forebearing generation, very kind and understanding people, on the whole. My Grandfather's stories of staying on his Grandfather's farm during the school holidays, and learning to drive on his Uncle's Ford V8 - he told so many tales like that. His wife, my Grandmother, is still around, and she's much the same, tells a lot of things about the family that really make sense with things now. You learn a terrific lot about people and about yourself too, along the way. It's a real privilege.

    Of all the film I've seen from this era, this is my favourite. Real people interacting with each other, some putting on airs and graces as others snigger; the heavily pregnant lady waving at the camera (how many of these do we see in old film clips?); the rakes parading around in their finery; the good looking man who, curiously, is the only one to wear a top hat; the spinster squinting suspiciouly at the camera, looking fearful; the flirty girl trying out the swing hammock. Everytime I look at it I see a new nuance and the colourisation bring these characters a little bit back to life.

    The thing I like most about these remastered and colorized clips, is that we can see peoples facial expressions more clearly than ever before. Here we have Edwardian people. Some are trying to act natural around the camera. But they keep looking directly into the lens some smiling some looking shy some looking as though they don’t approve. Other people directly interact with the camera. They wave and mug for the camera and laugh. The expressions are exactly the same as people today. To me, there is a comfort to that

    As someone with a masters in history and a lifelong love of history and social norms - especially dress and manners, this was just my cup of Darjeeling. I watched it several times. I got quite emotional, perhaps the exquisite music with it tugged at my heartstrings too. Little girls beautifully dressed and be curled, wearing tiny white gloves ( never to touch nasty things). The hats! Oh the hats! Flat caps, bowlers, boaters, derbys, panamas, top hats, gorgeousness atop ladies heads. All feathers and dead birds, ribbons and lace. What we spend on electronics and Netflix, they squirrelled away to purchase an Easter Hat or expensive lace, a new corset or day dress. There wasn’t a badly dressed woman there.

    A brief glimpse at many lives. For many here, it might have been one of the only times they were on film. If they could each choose a moment that they felt needed to be remembered, that said something about who they were and what they valued, like a visual epitaph, I wonder what they would have chosen.
    There are hard to pinpoint feelings from seeing all the faces and small details, all the people that were unique but also so much a product of their place and time. There's a feeling of being a world away, but at the same time the feeling that people's lives are basically the same regardless of time and place. There's a feeling that says very plainly and undeniably 'it's all been done countless times before'. A feeling that so many lives just like our own full of color and a sense of purpose have disappeared from the world and been mostly forgotten, faintly preserved in the snippets that remain which are unable to come to life and grow.
    I hope these people led good, happy lives and were mostly well. Everything they did shaped all that's happened further downstream, but who knows who made what happen?

    A few comments. First, I want to thank the person who did the work restoring and enhancing this film. This makes it so much easier to watch. Second, note how everyone is dressed. The shear elegance of the period is astonishing compared to today. Also, I would guess that skin cancer was not a major issue in that time period. And most of the people in this film knew someone who was alive during the reign of George III.

    It was the greatest period of the British Empire, and she was a role model for many developing countries in the world. My country, Japan was one of them, and we introduced a postal system, railways, navy etc. And Anglo-Japanese alliance was concluded in 1902. Japan imported several pre-Dreadnaut class battleships from the British Empire. Battleship Mikasa was one of them, and she played an important role in the Russo-Japanese war. She is preserved as a memorial ship in Yokosuka today.

      @pm Thank you for your message, and this is a first response from African people. Since the Meiji Restoration in 1867 when Japanese feudal system came to end, Japanese people have been learning and introducing almost everything (such as law and constitution,economy, chemistry, science, literature, physics and even socialism and communism) from West Europe and the United States. So Japanese attention has been focusing on the West but not Asia and Africa. So I`m sorry but my knowledge about Africa including Kenya is limited. But a lot of Japanese business people think that Africa has a great potential for economic development in the 21st century. Until recently, it was said that the 21st century would be the century of Asia. In fact, China and Japan are the world`s second and third economies, and the size of the Asian economy is much bigger than that of Europe today.However, Japan, China and other Asian nations are suffering from low birth rates, and Asia is aging very quickly. This demographic change will have negative effects on the Asian economy in the near future. On the other hand, the birth rate in Africa is quite high, and the average age of African people are very young. A lot of young people will be great assets for African countries. In addition, many African nations have a lot of untapped natural resources. According to the estimate, Nigeria would be one of the top ten economies in the world by 2050. Though the Japanese economy is stagnant today, Japan has the third largest economy and high technology. Japan`s ODA (Official Development Aid) was the largest in the world for a long time. As Japan did for other Asian people, I`m fully convinced that Japan could make great contribution to the development of the African economy.
