Thinking about that, you walk on the street and look to the camera of a reporter today. People in 2130 could see you and think: "Hey, how strange there cars were, they were so well clothed!"
You're quite right, no wonder it's black as you look into a camera lens, it's like an event horizon and an infinite future of viewers look on in wonder.
its a surreal feeling knowing that they stare at the camera thinking "how unusual", whilst I look back at them through the lens feeling "how unusual to see them", while both of us are living in a time where are worlds are perfectly normal to us. If only they could see me through the lens and know how unusual I look to them.
See how formally they dress, even the kids. And, compared to today, you'd scarce see fat folks in the footage because then there was less degradation of appetites. Perhaps the unusual they'd see of us today is how little is left to morality and how truth is become so relative. Or would they just applaud us for our advanced artificial intelligence? I wonder....
Amazing that every one of these people were real. They're all walking to some event in their life that really occurred on the same planet as us. They all had childhoods. They all had opinions, hopes, fears, and memories. They all feared death, and they all met it. They never got to see what the world became...and neither will we. It's a beautiful reminder that our existence is brief, and that we all live in the middle of history, but that we are real. We are here. They were here too. 130 years is so long, and yet contained within the span of only two lifetimes. We've come so far, and changed so little.
The massacre of wounded knee took place around the same time in 1890, the ottoman empire still existed, the Titanic wouldn't happen until 24 years later.
@@malter87 But they are not closer in time to the dinosaurs than we are to them (not the dinosaurs). You're kinda missing the qualifier on your oh-so-just-as-obvious statement.
5:17 I'm so happy that those two went and smiled for the camera on purpose. I bet they would have been amazed and delighted that they would be making somebody smile probably 100 years after they died of old age. Wow..
It makes me so happy to see those two men at 5:11 who thought "hey, let's get back and pass in front of the camera so that it films us!" It looks like it was something exciting for them... and here we are, 120-130 years later, watching them smile. If only they knew how many people would see them... nice
Can you imagine living in a world with horses and no cars for transportation? The pace of life was so tranquil. Just hope you don’t get sick tho. Yes I see the irony in 2020.
@@gatzad Or he is just amazed by what the other kids doing with their ships, and because at that time cameras weren't an everyday thing, he just didn't thinking of the camera. ;)
Those people staring into the camera could never have predicted that I’d be laying down here on my bed over 120 years later and staring right back at them. It’s just wild.
just like in a 130 years from now humans will look at corona situations, racism and other events happening and hopefully learn from our mistakes, you who is reading this in 130 years, please be better than us.
It’s crazy they’re looking into the camera and they would’ve never thought they would be looking at millions of people watching them over a century later

Вы что никогда не задавали этот вопрос или у вас вообще не было никогда таких мыслей ? Нас явно на эту планету заселили на остатки предыдущей погибшей цивилизации
it was still the same but one thing that is different is that they were using horses instead of cars. and every one was wearing a suit instead of normal clothes. all of the streets shown in this video are still there today. some people even did a 2021. 2020 recreation on the same streets that were shown inside of this video and the same places as well
No offense at all but what is your purpose for those videos you post. I have a couple ideas but I would love to hear it from you directly, again no offense you just picked up on the importance of these videos and would like to know if your videos are important and why

well dressed? doesn't look comfortable or stylish to me. i would never want my girlfriend to be dressed like the women in this video, it just looks weird to me
@@yoshtg it definitely would seem peculiar and unusual for us to see someone dressed like that in our era. Remember, this was 130 years ago and one day people will look back at our fashion and see it as disgraceful too. Fashion changes!
Mesmerizing. I think of Jeanne Calment, the oldest person (1875-1997) whose age could be documented/verified, who was a young French woman when this footage was shot, and lived for another 100 years, until 1997!
What fascinates me is the fact that they thought they would live right at forefront of time. Like we do now. We are the maximum of time gone by but we are, just like them, only somewhere in the past.

@@dvl973 That's not the climate change of the modern warming period, or any other period of warming or cooling over the millions of years of Earth's the climate. Assuming there is not an event such as a catastrophic gamma ray burst that burns off our atmosphere in a heartbeat or an unprecedented astroid strike, then our oxygen will be just fine. In fact, too much oxygen would be a huge problem for Earth. It's around 20% O2 in our current atmosphere, if you go back millions of years when it was 30% then it changed life completely, Dragon Flies would be the size of birds of prey for example. If you kept increasing the oxygen percentage then we would get Oxygen toxicity, while also suffering from a burning planet. Wild fires would have fuel like never before, which would cause massive atmospheric changes from the fires themselves. So don't worry about our oxygen right now, it is fine. The question of climate change is really about if the modern warming period is comparable to the medieval warming period or if anthropogenic factors are powerful enough to take our climate into an unknown. In reality the answer is that nobody knows, but perhaps it's smart to be on the side of caution and to save some of the inevitable troubles that even natural climate change will inevitably bring. Of course, one can argue that off setting natural climate change to modify our climate into a static situation in itself is a dangerous unknown without precedent. Personally I think there are many issues environmentally that need addressing, such as plastic pollution which is unimaginably destructive, but anthropological factors that can modify climate should be addressed as much as possible, as it's not the type of runaway situation that we want to take a chance of, even if an end of the world situation is definitely not going to occur even if we pass a +2°C average temperature mark. If you are interested, the medieval warm period which I mentioned is a period of clear climatic warming that occurred in the middle ages due to natural reasons. At the end of the medieveil warm period (950-1250), there was the beginning of the little ice age which climatologists outline as from around 1300 until 1850. The little ice age was driven initially by volcanic activity, while changes in ocean currents as a result of increases freshwater from melting artic icecaps also caused change in the gulf stream across the Atlantic. As the climate cools again, the currents revert back and the system continues. There are other factors in climate change too, such as solar cycles, oribital cycles and volcanic activity, which have been partly attributed to the MWP in themselves can start a chain of climate changing events which can take centuries to start flipping back.
The Eiffel Tower was only one year old at that time and so it was very new; many people considered it a abomination towering above Paris, instead of the symbol of France which it is know as today.
Nearly all the artists in Paris wrote a letter to Gustave Eiffel demanding that he not construct the Eiffel tower, partly because, until then, it was thought that building such a tall building was architecturally impossible. However, the tower was already under construction. They thought that the Eiffel tower undermined Parisian symbols like the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame.
Other than the obvious, what I find really fascinating is that the cameraman at the time, felt that just everyday life was WORTHY of filming with that new precious technology, just for posterity ! Somehow KNOWING, that this seemingly ordinary day to the people on the street, would be seen as absolutely FASCINATING 120 years later !!!!. Here's to the foresight of this/these brilliant cameramen for this amazing time capsule !!! I wish they could know how they've made us feel 120 years later !!!
C Su nope. This was NOT a special occasion, lhe could have filmed a special occasion because the motion picture camera was special at the time. But he didn’t, he just filmed every day life. And now we get to see what every day life was like back then . That’s the point, he saw that as interesting where not many would. You filmed special occasions and your kids like millions of others now do. Nothing new.
Utterly fascinating to watch. I could have watched for hours. It's remarkable how little things change. The bicycle was already becoming ubiquitous before the turn of the century. Lots of people walking here and there, some curious about the camera. It must have been a full-time job for teams of people to pick up all the horse manure. Fabulous for gardeners everywhere.
@@regisidec5478 ~ I've actually been looking at early photography lately, but there's nothing quite like the moving image to take you right back there, especially when it's been restored and adjusted in this manner.
5:00 The moving sidewalk is amazing. It’s interesting that 1890 France is still more developed than many countries are today. Europe was at the top of the food chain.
History is simply amazing isn’t it? This looks like present day and just that the people dressed up for something. Hard to believe every one of them is dead, including the children. Thank you for this fabulous look back.
@@curiousnomadic For the 1890s, that's an amazing piece of technology! The grandfather of the people-movers you see in airports and malls today (and many other places). Absolutely fascinating.
All those people old and young and kids left to other world. One day We will be like them and other generation will continue on our earth. So be good to each other and never fight each other because life very short and we all leave someday and we will be like same people at this video
These restored videos have truly captivated me. The closest we'll come to actual time travel. My favorite parts of these is comparing how much and how little has changed.
Exactly it’s mind blowing. I recently finally got a 4K tv and it’s even more immersive on a big tv, you feel like you’re there. And when I watched footage of the RMS Olympic, Titanic’s sister ship I could finally get a more realistic feel for the scale of those ships and I almost feel as if I’m observing the Olympic or the Titanic (there’s one video) in real life. These colorized videos make it even more immersive of course
It's crazy. This video shows a lot of people, even kids. Yet, all of them are dead today. Not a single one is still alive. It's the most mindblowing for me
I was thinking the exact same thing. It blows my mind. In the very moment when they were filmed, they had their plans, joys and worries in their minds. Life was happening there and then for them. Now nothing is left of them but this short clip.
@@snegelstenen It depends on how you define time. In theory all time exists in a state of now. So we are alive in our now, and they are alive their now.
Those kids... 4:11... they'd be around 20 yrs old in 1917... definately grew up to be soldiers in world war 1 some 100 yrs ago. Some probably died in battle... dont know a thing of what is about to happen to the world in the next coming century. Wars, diseases, discoveries, inventions, revolutions, colonizations, tech-age, moon landing and global icons/personalities (both good or evil) etc... Mind blowing.
@@juanlucas5649 nop, soldiers between 21 and 51 years old had to fight (see: www.centenaire.org/fr/espace-pedagogique/pistes-pedagogiques/lordre-de-mobilisation-generale), but most of them would fight even younger, they lied about their ages
That we ca can see real people alive and moving from 2 century's ago is simply insane and amazing...,this is nostalgic in the most pure way..,wow thanx alot..
Notre Dame cathedral was completed around 1345, so it was still about 550 years old in this video. Quite astounding to think it’s that ancient even in these.
Majestic Chicken goes to show how little 100 years is compared to how long human history has lasted. And that so much has changed since the end of the 1800s as well.
I disagree. The facade and the stained glass windows are covered in dirt, they probably haven't been cleaned in centuries. It looks old and unmaintained compared to present day (well, before the fire).
@Linh Nguyen Wrong. The peak of Western civilization occurred one century later in the 1980s/90s. It seemed back then the final triumph of ideas such as freedom, democracy, and capitalism. Unfortunatelly, It has been downhill in this current century.
Seeing those kids playing with the boats in the pond reminded me that, just 8 years later in 1898, Nikola Tesla demonstrated a radio boat to his audience in Madison Square Garden. Tesla entertained his audience, making it seem that the boat could apparently obey his commands. Initially, they all thought it was magic, but in reality it was the invention of radio control. Just 8 years before, this video clip was recorded. This was a period of time for exciting new inventions and ideas, which makes watching this clip even more fascinating.
A person born in 1830 & living to the early 1900s would have witnessed these developments. From stagecoach to railroad, the long distance telegraph, the telephone, gas lighting to replace oil, and then electricity to replace gas lighting, the early cars powered by electricity or gasoline, steam cable-pulled streetcars followed by the electric tram, then airplanes, etc. Just like today where we see computers, internet, commercial air travel, etc. go from newfangled inventions to a part of everyday life.
Yeah, it was a time of invention. There would be something new seemingly every day. Even to the point of bankruptcy. By the time your ship, factory or train was built and running it was already obsolete.
Ya, it kinds of sad to see that invention attitudes are blind nowadays, smartest ppls all go to finance, law or some tech/marketing to utilize ads. However, Tesla and SpaceX remain the sparking light

@@raTTy_auTkeep in mind all this was filmed in the bourgeois areas. I very sophisticated minority overshadowing a majority who suffered hardship in their factories, mines and armies.
That's because they only filmed the west part of Paris where the wealth is concentrated, all those people were rich. It would have been much more interesting to have footage of a factory or a popular area...
The thing that struck me the deepest was watching the man jog across the street at 2:46. The way you can tell he has a bad leg; reminds me of my own dad. But even aside from that, it is something that is purely him - something resulting from a sickness when he was younger, perhaps, or an injury. Something that his friends and family would have noticed, something they would have had to consider. "Well we may need a carriage because of Jules' bad leg..." And then the youngster riding passed, hands free, on his bike. Wow.
nope. not at the rate that technology is improving at. nanotech, biotech, robotics, genetics, etc.( i can go on..) are all starting to approach their golden years. i'll bet they'll be 140 year olds walking around by mid-century. this age will not be the same as all the other ages, we are living in the most interesting time in human history. the turning point of many things. i believe we advanced more in the last 10-20 years than the past 100 years or so and that's only speeding up.
As a filmmaker, I’m very impressed with whoever transformed this archival footage. The 60 FPS, colorization, superb sound design, foley and stereo mix bring the scenes to a visceral level. I’d love to see footage of other cities and subjects given the same treatment. Chapeau!

Imagine what it would take to recreate a scene like 1:48 today for a film; the Avenue des Champs-Élysées full of horse carriages. I don't think I've ever seen so many horses. You'd have to use CGI for sure. But this is the real thing.
Seulement en démonstration pendant l'exposition universelle de 1900. Mais ils marchaient bien et avaient 2 vitesses, une lente et une rapide comme on le voit sur les images. Ils ont été démontés ensuite, trop gourmands en énergie.
@Leafa Lol do you think there was hardly any crime back then? Those videos of the 19th century mainly show the fancy upper-class areas of major cities. Of course, there wasn´t much crime there. Outside the nice city centers where all the dirt poor day laborers lived was probably as much, or even more crime than today.
@Leafa I wonder why some people always insist on seeing diversity or culture as impediments. It's an ever evolving world man. Way bigger than trivialities. If crime was lesser, disease was more. Don't overthink things and just enjoy it man. Diversity, cultures, nostalgia everything!
When i think about every person we see being dead, it makes me wonder if people will come back to this video and talk about everyone on the comments being dead 100 years from now.
And then they read this comment and comment the same comment on your comment as we are all dead and then they think about that when they die the people that will be in the next 100 years would do the same.
Ever think about the fact some of the people who watched this video are now dead? By statistics there's been like 10,000,000 of pewdiepies fans that are now dead
FASHION AT THAT TIME WAS QUITE ADORABLE.! THE LADIES WITH THEIR BEAUTIFUL HATS, WEARING GLOVES..., THE handsome Gentleman in their "Frack", all handmade!
I think to some extent they were well aware of the possibility of future generations glaring into their time and way of life I remember seeing a picture of a newspaper ad saying that "The Camera is the window for our grandchildren to come closer to us now" or something along those lines, its been a while now. So if they advocated it as if it were a way to connect to future generations then they were probably aware of the chance that others may glare into it aswell.
Perhaps right now someone reading our commemts in our timeline in 2120 We already been in space having aliens friends look at the reading my comment saying whoa he s right
Some of the older people from this clip met in their lifetime people who had lived in France before the French Revolution. Some of the younger ones met in their lifetime people who are still around. I know, it is a pretty weird comment, but also quite mindblowing if you think about it this way.
No it is not. I've met people from my family who have been born in the XIXth century. So, if I get to 100 (born in 1980), I've met people from three centuries.

@@fotografsaati611 The difference is that in 100 years people will not be playing with boats in the basins, they will be doing boat battles in their VR chairs and come up for air only to eat shit and sleep.
It still blows my mind that there's people in this video who were alive during a time when Napoleon was the ruler of France, and there's also people in this video that will be alive to see the creation of the telephone, internet, first computers, planes, cars, etc... Crazy
Cars, telephones had already been invented. Telephones were invented in the 1870s and cars had been around for a while as well. They were only for the very rich though. That changed in the late 1910s early 1920s. Depending on the country of course.
It will be more crazy for people in 2100 to look at video's from 2021 thinking "It blows my mind the there's people who were alive during a time when Hitler was alive and there's also people that will be alive to see the first settings with people on Mars, rise of Artificial Intelligence, ...". But for us it's no big deal, so for people in 1890 it would be even a lesser deal to be alive living with people whe were alive when Napoleon was alive.
@@elias7748 The internet was not around in any form we would recognize (though telegraphy came close; look up 'cable addresses') and computers were gigantic mechanical calculators. Charles Babbage's 'Difference Engine' was the state of the art at the time.
yes...cos this is a daytime film, and in those times ,people wandering in streets in daytime are RICH. 99% of the rest of the population is in a 12h shift in mine or textile factory. Besides the center of Paris, Newyork etc, wich is what u see in those films, cities are filled wiht poors dressed as shitty as a poor can be back then. Watch the victorian workers video and that ll answer ur thoughts on clothing back then for real people, not the ones u see in the richest parts of paris. Its like sayin "dam, back in year 100 people were really nicely clothed by my judgment watching paintings of kings". I think a big part is at this Hippodroem de Longchamps, rendezvous point for high class aristocracy and bourgeoisie for horse races, then avenue from concorde to champs elysees, Luxembourg garden,
Actually. Color variation in clothing was not well received before the 20th century . For example, brown shows on men was not a manly garment, and you could even be considered a homosexual (which was a felony in most countries at the tome) if you wore then
I like your humour. I studied the footage and it seems like blue is missing regarding the natural color space. It could mean that many of the suits we see as black actually are blue.
Data You're not kidding!! I had a problem with a bank teller once and they couldn't tell how much money the teller gave me and security said they had no audio. It Made no sense!
Absolutely awesome, unbelievable, incredible. Now - this footage is the same as 129 years ago, but the upscaling, colorizing gives it that wow factor. How fortuitous that there was a fire (hope no one was injured) and we get to see the excited horses flying along as if they're more excited than the firemen. Spasibo, Denis Shiryaev.
I live in Paris. That was really moving gor me. First to see people's everyday life, something real and relatable; and also seeing that so much of Paris hasn't changed!
As a young 4 year old French boy in 1980 , my parents used to bring me at the exact same spot shown at 4:29, name "Jardin des Tuileries", to play with my wooden boat ..
Today kids wouldn‘t even be allowed to run around with these „spears“ because they could hurt each other. Oh - and don‘t forget to keep half a meter distance to the water or you will fall in and possibly drown in knee-high water 😂 Sometimes I wish we would let natural selection do its thing by not having that many strict safety regulations

You're quite right, no wonder it's black as you look into a camera lens, it's like an event horizon and an infinite future of viewers look on in wonder.
And neither did you until someone posted it.
its a surreal feeling knowing that they stare at the camera thinking "how unusual", whilst I look back at them through the lens feeling "how unusual to see them", while both of us are living in a time where are worlds are perfectly normal to us. If only they could see me through the lens and know how unusual I look to them.
Ryle good comment I thought I was the only one thinking like that’s it’s weird wow
See how formally they dress, even the kids. And, compared to today, you'd scarce see fat folks in the footage because then there was less degradation of appetites.

Amazing that every one of these people were real. They're all walking to some event in their life that really occurred on the same planet as us. They all had childhoods. They all had opinions, hopes, fears, and memories. They all feared death, and they all met it. They never got to see what the world became...and neither will we.

it was still the same but one thing that is different is that they were using horses instead of cars. and every one was wearing a suit instead of normal clothes. all of the streets shown in this video are still there today. some people even did a 2021. 2020 recreation on the same streets that were shown inside of this video and the same places as well

Same thing will happen to us when people will see our videos after 200 years 😁
These films bring the past to life in a way that photos never could. They are amazing. And they are all so well dressed, even the children.
Depends on your perspective, since technically, film is photos: the projection of sequential still images. But I get it.
thats why this footage so old... took them years to get dressed Oo
Everyone was well dressed on Sunday for the Mass
The other days, not so much
well dressed? doesn't look comfortable or stylish to me. i would never want my girlfriend to be dressed like the women in this video, it just looks weird to me
@@yoshtg it definitely would seem peculiar and unusual for us to see someone dressed like that in our era. Remember, this was 130 years ago and one day people will look back at our fashion and see it as disgraceful too. Fashion changes!
Mesmerizing. I think of Jeanne Calment, the oldest person (1875-1997) whose age could be documented/verified, who was a young French woman when this footage was shot, and lived for another 100 years, until 1997!
What fascinates me is the fact that they thought they would live right at forefront of time. Like we do now. We are the maximum of time gone by but we are, just like them, only somewhere in the past.
In 100 years people will watch videos from now and say „those poeple really thought they live in a modern civilization...haha noobs xd“

@@dvl973 That's not the climate change of the modern warming period, or any other period of warming or cooling over the millions of years of Earth's the climate. Assuming there is not an event such as a catastrophic gamma ray burst that burns off our atmosphere in a heartbeat or an unprecedented astroid strike, then our oxygen will be just fine. In fact, too much oxygen would be a huge problem for Earth. It's around 20% O2 in our current atmosphere, if you go back millions of years when it was 30% then it changed life completely, Dragon Flies would be the size of birds of prey for example. If you kept increasing the oxygen percentage then we would get Oxygen toxicity, while also suffering from a burning planet. Wild fires would have fuel like never before, which would cause massive atmospheric changes from the fires themselves. So don't worry about our oxygen right now, it is fine.
The question of climate change is really about if the modern warming period is comparable to the medieval warming period or if anthropogenic factors are powerful enough to take our climate into an unknown. In reality the answer is that nobody knows, but perhaps it's smart to be on the side of caution and to save some of the inevitable troubles that even natural climate change will inevitably bring. Of course, one can argue that off setting natural climate change to modify our climate into a static situation in itself is a dangerous unknown without precedent. Personally I think there are many issues environmentally that need addressing, such as plastic pollution which is unimaginably destructive, but anthropological factors that can modify climate should be addressed as much as possible, as it's not the type of runaway situation that we want to take a chance of, even if an end of the world situation is definitely not going to occur even if we pass a +2°C average temperature mark.
If you are interested, the medieval warm period which I mentioned is a period of clear climatic warming that occurred in the middle ages due to natural reasons. At the end of the medieveil warm period (950-1250), there was the beginning of the little ice age which climatologists outline as from around 1300 until 1850. The little ice age was driven initially by volcanic activity, while changes in ocean currents as a result of increases freshwater from melting artic icecaps also caused change in the gulf stream across the Atlantic. As the climate cools again, the currents revert back and the system continues. There are other factors in climate change too, such as solar cycles, oribital cycles and volcanic activity, which have been partly attributed to the MWP in themselves can start a chain of climate changing events which can take centuries to start flipping back.
You just summed up a thought of mine that I couldn’t explain, thanks.
The Eiffel Tower was only one year old at that time and so it was very new; many people considered it a abomination towering above Paris, instead of the symbol of France which it is know as today.
I feel the same way about the cell tower right across from my house
New Yorkers thought the same of the two World Trade Center towers, when first built circa 1977.
neat! Thanks for the history lesson! 😄
Nearly all the artists in Paris wrote a letter to Gustave Eiffel demanding that he not construct the Eiffel tower, partly because, until then, it was thought that building such a tall building was architecturally impossible. However, the tower was already under construction. They thought that the Eiffel tower undermined Parisian symbols like the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame.
@@alexia3552 Lol
Other than the obvious, what I find really fascinating is that the cameraman at the time, felt that just everyday life was WORTHY of filming with that new precious technology, just for posterity !

Seeing those kids playing with the boats in the pond reminded me that, just 8 years later in 1898, Nikola Tesla demonstrated a radio boat to his audience in Madison Square Garden. Tesla entertained his audience, making it seem that the boat could apparently obey his commands. Initially, they all thought it was magic, but in reality it was the invention of radio control. Just 8 years before, this video clip was recorded. This was a period of time for exciting new inventions and ideas, which makes watching this clip even more fascinating.
A person born in 1830 & living to the early 1900s would have witnessed these developments. From stagecoach to railroad, the long distance telegraph, the telephone, gas lighting to replace oil, and then electricity to replace gas lighting, the early cars powered by electricity or gasoline, steam cable-pulled streetcars followed by the electric tram, then airplanes, etc. Just like today where we see computers, internet, commercial air travel, etc. go from newfangled inventions to a part of everyday life.
Thanks for the anecdote
Yeah, it was a time of invention. There would be something new seemingly every day. Even to the point of bankruptcy. By the time your ship, factory or train was built and running it was already obsolete.

J B Cop out? Enrich yourself with some knowledge about “jokes”. It would make your life a whole lot easier.
@@zyxw2024 What is your problem? Can't you handle jokes about Paris?
@@zyxw2024 So you're just reversing my question because you can't give a proper argument? Hmm... And why can't I handle criticism? You asked me if there's nothing to say about the beauty of Paris. I gave you an answer and you just started throwing with "cop out". Then I made it clear that it was an (obvious) joke. If this is your kind of "criticism", then good for you! I really hope it made your day better. You really need to sort our your priorities, which is exactly what I'm going to do from now on in this case - by just ignoring you. Have a great day!

Madness how these people could never have imagined that 130 years later the images from the big camera that is staring at them are going to be viewed by people on a device the size of their tobacco tin
I think WW1 would be the thing they could not have imagined happening
Imagine the people 130 years later from now and how they'll view our current society. Mind-boggling.
I think the nuclear bomb explosions would be the thing they could not have imagined happening.

@@frafilipo9829 but this video make me uncomfortable about death, u know, they live in this video but they already dead
@@khein2204 it is natural for us human to feel that we play very important role in this world, probably each of us think that to ourself. When we look into the past, we see that nobody escape inevitable fact of death sooner or later, no matter how big and important, and the world will still keep spinning without us. I think it is possible to reconcile with that fact only if we are close to 100% efficient in our love, creativity, diligence.. knowing that you were 100% makes it much easier to die. On the other hand, some of us are taken so young that's even impossible to start thinking about such a serious topics.

Imagine what it would take to recreate a scene like 1:48 today for a film; the Avenue des Champs-Élysées full of horse carriages. I don't think I've ever seen so many horses.

Très chic Paris autrefois! Il y a même le son, c'est bien ! Et apparemment l'électricité marche bien puisqu'il y avait des grands tapis roulant!
Seulement en démonstration pendant l'exposition universelle de 1900. Mais ils marchaient bien et avaient 2 vitesses, une lente et une rapide comme on le voit sur les images. Ils ont été démontés ensuite, trop gourmands en énergie.

Leafa diversity is knowledge
@Leafa Lol do you think there was hardly any crime back then? Those videos of the 19th century mainly show the fancy upper-class areas of major cities. Of course, there wasn´t much crime there. Outside the nice city centers where all the dirt poor day laborers lived was probably as much, or even more crime than today.
@Leafa I wonder why some people always insist on seeing diversity or culture as impediments. It's an ever evolving world man. Way bigger than trivialities. If crime was lesser, disease was more. Don't overthink things and just enjoy it man. Diversity, cultures, nostalgia everything!
When i think about every person we see being dead, it makes me wonder if people will come back to this video and talk about everyone on the comments being dead 100 years from now.
B増加 🤯
And then they read this comment and comment the same comment on your comment as we are all dead and then they think about that when they die the people that will be in the next 100 years would do the same.
Life is so short..
Love this okay
Ever think about the fact some of the people who watched this video are now dead?
By statistics there's been like 10,000,000 of pewdiepies fans that are now dead
FASHION AT THAT TIME WAS QUITE ADORABLE.! THE LADIES WITH THEIR BEAUTIFUL HATS, WEARING GLOVES..., THE handsome Gentleman in their "Frack", all handmade!
Beautiful. Nobody probably thought of seeing recorded images in over 100 years later in future on screens (UA-cam)!
Oligampla and 100 years from now? Why do I doubt anyone will be watching!?
Probably? :D
They all knew about it !
I think to some extent they were well aware of the possibility of future generations glaring into their time and way of life
I remember seeing a picture of a newspaper ad saying that "The Camera is the window for our grandchildren to come closer to us now" or something along those lines, its been a while now.
So if they advocated it as if it were a way to connect to future generations then they were probably aware of the chance that others may glare into it aswell.
Perhaps right now someone reading our commemts in our timeline in 2120
We already been in space having aliens friends look at the reading my comment saying whoa he s right

Some of the older people from this clip met in their lifetime people who had lived in France before the French Revolution. Some of the younger ones met in their lifetime people who are still around. I know, it is a pretty weird comment, but also quite mindblowing if you think about it this way.

Magnifique...Superbe témoignage d'une époque!
Merci pour le travail gigantesque de restauration et de sonorisation et bravo!
This is amazing to see this because Oscar Wilde was in Paris around this time. This was the Paris he knew.
And of course Marcel Proust was around.
And Auguste Rodin, too !!
It still blows my mind that there's people in this video who were alive during a time when Napoleon was the ruler of France, and there's also people in this video that will be alive to see the creation of the telephone, internet, first computers, planes, cars, etc... Crazy
I couldn't close my eyes while I washed this!!!
Cars, telephones had already been invented. Telephones were invented in the 1870s and cars had been around for a while as well. They were only for the very rich though. That changed in the late 1910s early 1920s. Depending on the country of course.
It will be more crazy for people in 2100 to look at video's from 2021 thinking "It blows my mind the there's people who were alive during a time when Hitler was alive and there's also people that will be alive to see the first settings with people on Mars, rise of Artificial Intelligence, ...".
But for us it's no big deal, so for people in 1890 it would be even a lesser deal to be alive living with people whe were alive when Napoleon was alive.

That’s so cool. We all need more decency in this modern era
Those are taken in rich areas.
@@Ericlau1126 call it money, these are the rich people you see on camera.
yes...cos this is a daytime film, and in those times ,people wandering in streets in daytime are RICH. 99% of the rest of the population is in a 12h shift in mine or textile factory. Besides the center of Paris, Newyork etc, wich is what u see in those films, cities are filled wiht poors dressed as shitty as a poor can be back then. Watch the victorian workers video and that ll answer ur thoughts on clothing back then for real people, not the ones u see in the richest parts of paris. Its like sayin "dam, back in year 100 people were really nicely clothed by my judgment watching paintings of kings".
I think a big part is at this Hippodroem de Longchamps, rendezvous point for high class aristocracy and bourgeoisie for horse races, then avenue from concorde to champs elysees, Luxembourg garden,
Enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Gentlemen’s suits come in any color you want as long as it’s black.
Actually. Color variation in clothing was not well received before the 20th century . For example, brown shows on men was not a manly garment, and you could even be considered a homosexual (which was a felony in most countries at the tome) if you wore then
I like your humour. I studied the footage and it seems like blue is missing regarding the natural color space. It could mean that many of the suits we see as black actually are blue.
It could also be the upscaling struggling with colored clothing in general too. Maybe some of them had dark blue/red clothes for example
@@Wockes I wonder what the colorization algoritme is based upon?

Stalin was fkn evil, worst than hitler. He oppresed Russians. EuropaThe last battle
I could just sit here for hours watching this, so endlessly fascinating.
Absolutely awesome, unbelievable, incredible. Now - this footage is the same as 129 years ago, but the upscaling, colorizing gives it that wow factor.
How fortuitous that there was a fire (hope no one was injured) and we get to see the excited horses flying along as if they're more excited than the firemen.

I live in Paris. That was really moving gor me. First to see people's everyday life, something real and relatable; and also seeing that so much of Paris hasn't changed!
Ya, I was looking at a spot, and just to the left out of frame, I’d once had a portrait done by a street artist.

3:52 So they boosted their steam engines with literaly more horse power.
I'm not 100% sure but I think that was some sort of steam powered pump for water when they got to the fire.
@@thestarglider I think so, that would explain why they put a fire siren into the new audio

Wow, that's what you call, family traditions...
Been there in 2004 and I swear it was one of the most beautiful places I've seen in Paris
Today kids wouldn‘t even be allowed to run around with these „spears“ because they could hurt each other. Oh - and don‘t forget to keep half a meter distance to the water or you will fall in and possibly drown in knee-high water 😂
