  • Rumania (now Romania) is full of Western charm and character. From the London Exhibition to the Carpathian Mountains, the popular trotting races to the fruit stand commemorating the August revolution of 1944, and Mamaia Rumania's summer beach resort to Poianna Brasov’s ski resort - Rumania has something to see and experience for everyone.

    London exhibition. Two teenage girls (twins) look at some of the Rumanian Craftware on display at the exhibition. Rumanian women demonstrate weaving techniques.
    Rumania - countryside. Farmer and his herd of cows. Scenic shots of the countryside. Carpathian Mountains. Narrator details some of Rumania's history. Scenes at a racecourse. The tote. Bookmakers. Trotting race. Narrator makes jokes about the Rumanians being capitalists. Chairlift at the skiing resort of Poianna Brasov. Various shots of the countryside - some views from the moving chairlift. "Sport Hotel" with holidaymakers drinking cocktails. Museum opens its gates - ornate architecture. Churches and monastery in Moldavia.
    Narrator speaks of how Rumania is reaching westwards for new ideas and inspiration. New buildings and roadways. An oil rig - a sightseeing attraction in Bucharest's permanent industrial exhibition. Tourists arrive aboard a Caravelle aircraft with the word "Sabena" on the side. Landmarks of Bucharest seen from a car. Traffic warden is seen. High angle shot of a street market. Woman chooses some flowers to buy.
    Housing - blocks of flats. The new concert hall and the home of the circus - Big Top Deluxe. People lounging beside a hotel swimming pool - it has a wave machine. Mamaia Rumania's summer beach resort is featured. Nice shots of people on the beach then holidaymakers relaxing beside their tents in a campsite. Man uses a chest expander whilst his friend laughs. Girl feeds a foal with a bottle.
    Fruit stall with a display to commemorate the August revolution of 1944. Various shots of hotels and bright lights at night. Narrator gives the hard sell: "Suspicious, sullen Rumania is really a vivacious young girl, flirting with Western ideas and beckoning the tourist to come just a little further afield in the search for fun and bright lights. For some it could be love at first sight." Cuts exist - see separate record.

      That's because of the disaster of Market reforms and shock therapy which shook the nation during the 90s. Romanian (Rumanian?) GDP decreased 21% in the two years following the collapse. Like most eastern European countries, went through severe deindustrialisation and population decline.
      In fact Romania's (Rumania's?) population is still recovering from the collapse. In 1991 their population was 23 Million, now their population is 19 Million.
      Energy consumption per Capita in Romania (Rumania?) was 2,987 kg of oil equivalent in 1989, it's now 1,591 kg of oil. Almost half of what it was in the 80s.
      Keep in mind though this film released in the 60s not the 80s so living standards were probably different from what I just described, but you get the general idea.

    • @kennarajora6532
      @kennarajora6532 3 роки тому +8

      @Werm 01 In many ways modern Romania is better than it was in the past, in terms of GDP and GDP per capita Romania is much better.
      Although if you measured Romanian GDP taking into account inflation, so GDP in constant 2010 USD, it took 13 years to catch up to pre-revolution levels, not 5 years.
      World bank data :
      Taking into account inflation
      www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&met_y=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&idim=country:ROU:PRT:SRB&hl=en&dl=en#!ctype=l&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h&met_y=gdp_expenditure_constant_2010_us&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&rdim=world&idim=country:ROU:PRT:SRB&ifdim=world&hl=en_US&dl=en&ind=false
      Not taking into account inflation
      www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&met_y=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&idim=country:ROU:PRT:SRB&hl=en&dl=en
      And even though something like the GDP of modern Romania is far better, that usually but doesn't always correlate to standard of living. GDP could increase but that economic growth can be concentrated in entrepreneurial sectors of the economy, meaning the average life of a Romanian won't necessarily get better. And even then increase in salary may not mean more money floating around as they have to pay bills for rent, education, healthcare, all of which have become more expensive. There's also unemployment. Romania's current unemployment rate is 4% and was historically higher due to recession. In 1994, unemployment reached 11%. Due to the 2008 Recession Romania's unemployment rate reached 7.1% in 2011, and only started to recover by 2015. and there's also energy consumption, which is half of what it was in 1989.
      And I feel this is the reason that although the economy is currently doing well in Romania, things like their birth rates and population for example, still haven't recovered from the collapse and will continue to decrease. That's not to say Romania was better in the 80s, you have things like smartphones now and better consumer choices, but it's to say things weren't necessarily worse back then.

      Still kinda poor nowadays.
      Our country had and still has a lot of potential in many ways. But , as what I learned in history class, we were always in the middle of conflict zones, between the great powers of Europe. And was though to be an independent country. Which just for shortly were.
      The poverty, in my opinion, comes from the fact that we never had something of our own. Everybody took amd still takes from us and we became a numb ( and kinda d*mb) nation.

      In Portugal, Neoliberalism doesn’t and will never work, and our politics here is a big joke. You have a socdem party, that is right wing; our “socialist” party isn’t even socialist; we are getting worse, day by day, because of the far-right rising even more; liberalism destroyed my family and other’s, for some years; the media are right wing biased; our law system is a joke; our president is the son of one of the “right arms”, of one of our old dictators (Salazar) and is a conservative, that doesn’t really care about human rights... That’s what capitalism does to Portugal, and that’s what we have.
      I don’t want more capitalism, as many of the portuguese. We want real socialism, and that’s why the left has been increasing more and more, in my country.

    Ahaha, this looks like a pre-Fallout game. You can find similarities to North Korea also with the fake smiles, buying, selling abundant food, etc.

    when they say nostalgia, i hope this is what they mean, not the stupid communist era that traumatised all of us, also it looks even better than today's romanian reality

      Did they leave illegally? Because I heard no one was allowed to leave Romania unless you had permission from the government or if you were a communist party member you couldn’t leave if you were a political dissident.
