  • jose rizal died in 1896

  • Why i'm watching that?

  • Comment removed

  • the fucking 19th cenury people!!!! we dont have to see it reenacted in today´s movies. it´s there. A completely different world. A world without planes, tv, and cars were just starting. mind blowing

  • and to know that not a single human being from that time is alive. Like watching a different world. To me it´s just amazing.

  • @hallowedbeeddie TO me too!these people were maybe happier.I just think they were happier,slower,they took the time to live,they didn't watch Tv all day.Even if life was very tough,non washing machines,no TV,no car.They weren't unhappy.

  • @hallowedbeeddie

    Their children are dead and probably their grandchildren too. 117 years is a long time.

    Anyways these early films is the only "time machines" we'll ever have.

    Btw, the current oldest person alive is Besse Cooper who was born in 1896, and is currently 115 years old (116 in August) ,so you're quite right that there's not a single person from that time (1895) alive.

  • That guy got spanked.

  • Cinema is a French invention...Well done France :)

    The Lumiere Brothers' gave birth to what might be one of the best contributions homo sapiens can enjoy. entertainmen, documentaries, series, animation, everything we see moving on the screens is because of them.

  • @norskasbj1 Actually the first working motion picture camera was invented by Edison, but of course where would we be if the French hadn't invented light sensitive film.

  • @creek2 The first film was made by the French, like the first audio recording

    or the first photography invented in 1839, The French did a great contribution in invention and discovery especially in the medicine domain.

    Too bad that today, French movies are not popular in the world, but I heard that a French silent black and white movie won 3 Golden Globes and has 10 nominations in the 2012 Oscar...lol even in 2012 the French are able to do that.

    Don't get me wrong "the Artist" was brillant.

  • @briannwinston I bet you are a pathetic British dog...Don't being so angry. France was 1 of the most contributor in innovation and discoveries in the Western world. Calculator, Automobile, Hot air Balloon, Metric system, Antibiotics, Electromagnetic waves detector, First movie and invention of cinema, Radioactivity, Tuberculosis vaccination, analog color television, Ramjets Aircraft ,HIV detection, First face transplant etc... deal with it ! I'm proud to be French and proud of the Lumière Bro.

  • @norskasbj1 From my childhood, I was always a video game type of person. But even video games had their ties to cinema. Moving pictures eventually evolved to pictures you could control. And so on. The Lumiere Brothers' invention not only gave birth to an industry, but others derived from them. They may be one of the most important figures who ever lived. Films have inspired thousands musicians, singers and actors as well. The Lumiere family should really be more well-known than they are.

  • but melies is god !

    :D

  • AHHH  A TRAIN COMING TOWARDS US AHHHHH

  • @hlashflahflhsjfh People actually got up and rushingly exited the room. At least most of them.

  • one dose not simply point a camera at the truth

  • Lumiere Brothers...WONDERFUL!!! ... Whats the music in this?

  • From a historical standpoint, this is awesome.

    From an entertainment standpoint, this is shit.

  • @ZeekyHB0MB entertainment is only ONE of the several things that film-making explores... movies are not only entertainment.

  • @viejoratondeltiempo I would argue though that 99% of all film is entertainment... Even educational film is "entertainment" in the technical sense.

  • so freakin boring

  • this is amazing, think of it, this is recorded 116 years ago wow.. dont know why but i think this is amazingly cool :D

  • I like the part when they walk

  • At around 5:50, it starts going backward. Was that a modification, or did the Lumiere Brothers actually make it like that?

  • Chubby was in.

  • 1895, my God...

  • @Mrjonlennonlegend even if they were born the day this film was made they would be dead now. ..thatd make em 116 years old.

  • so everyone in this film are dead? no one is still alive?

  • @MrJohnlennonlegend Maybe if that baby is like the oldest man alive. haaa.

  • check out where photography comes from too... vive la france!

  • apparently in 1895, HATS ARE MANDATORY!

  • All women are soooo fat!

  • They are ghost now !!!!

  • the beauty of simplicity

  • game over!

  • weird to think that every single person in that video is dead now

  • @ArcticTrees

    Even the baby.

  • @Sandekip when you look at night at the stars, this is not their present image, but their image from thousands of years ago because of the distance. Doesn't that bother you too?

  • @Sandekip Yes of course but these people did exist,they worked,loved and gave birth to babies also..and grandchildren and grandgrandchildren who maybe are still alive...good movie though.Thanks siyanyure for this extra rare movie!!

  • Look at all those dead people walking...

  • impresionante!

  • 模擬試験で読んだ評論文の題材にされていたので気になって見てみ­ました。

    3:15 の少年がホースに悪戯をするシーンで笑ってしまいました。

    『トムとジェリー』に通ずる面白さが19世紀に既にあったことに­びっくりです。

  • They still respected each other. They believed in something. They trusted in the future, but they were faithful to their traditions. Thanks for sharing.

  • Better than Twilight

  • was trying to work out what the music reminded me of. Just realised it's a lot like the "Up" theme

  • what is the film at 3:43? the poker one, need the title for a project

  • Music????

  • All of these people are now lost in time.

  • Thumbs up if you're here for Weedman.

  • If these people see todays mini-skirt , they will get fainted.

  • LISTEN!!! I SAW THE SAME WOMAN TAKING BY A CELL PHONE!!

  • If there was one era I wish I could have lived in, it would be the 1890s.

  • That's the precursor to Charlie Chaplin. Very funny :D

  • BEAUTIFUL! GENIOUS!!

  • what is the name of the song? is very beautifull :)

  • wow really amazing :D

  • Francia hizo la primera pelicula de todo el mundo en 1895

  • la primera pelicula en francia :D los hermanos """lumiere"""

  • they look human ....they act human.....

  • Thank you so much for this video from Italy

  • This is real ART!

  • ANDA QUE EL CAPULLO QUE SÓLO SE LE OCURRE QUE LAS MUJERES ERAN MÁS DECENTES EN 1895. EFECTIVAMENTE , NO HACE FALTA SER MUSULMÁN PARA SER GILIPOLLAS. Y AHORA PONME UN CORREÍTO CON LO DE "CAPS LOCK MUCH, " QUE PARECE QUE ES EN LO ÚNICO QUE LOS GUIRIS SE FIJAN AUNQU PONGAS UN COMENTARIO EN CONTRA DE LA LAPIDACIÓN DE LAS ADULTERAS.AND.. ORAL SEX FOREVER, SO MAMÓN

  • Hollywood is crap! This is the best film I ever seen!

  • it's like going back in time. I am facsinated by this films. I love that era.

  • download the video and slow it down to see it as it really was

  • 02:32 Saber que não estão mais vivos...

  • Der erste Take kann noch als dokumentarisch angesehen werden, wenn auch im puristischen Sinne die Auswahl des Kamera-Standorts nicht zufällig erfolgt, und die Akteure/Statisten "herbestellt" wurden, jedoch schon zwei Takes später wird - des schöneren Motivs zu Liebe - das Fabriktor geöffnet,um eindrucksvollere Bilder zu erhalten.Damit wurde der Dokumentarfilm zum Spielfilm mit Drehbuch (zunächst noch im Kopf), Positionierung, Wiederholung, kurz: Inszenierung von Wirklichkeit.

  • sehr schön zu beobachten... der erste Dokumentarfilm der europäischen Filmgeschichte (Arbeiter verlassen die Lumière-Werke) ist zugleich auch der Tod des Dokumentarfilms.

  • The famous scene with the train approaching that scared the shit out of thousands of people when they first saw it back then. Lol

  • @Kazoo4U heh imagine if they saw something in 3d

  • @Kazoo4U Lol, imagine they watching paranormal activity 2 back then :P

  • 4:25 I read someplace that when that scene was shown at the Paris exposition, half the audience dove for cover!

  • That is one big ass dog!

  • Is the dog still alive ?

  • @Arjetube Yes, i love that Dog, it is the big star.

  • @buddyeagle would you love it to Fxxx you.

  • I was born 100 years after this was filmed... freaky.

  • I like the part with the dog

  • "Oblany ogrodnik" jest śmieszniejszy niż "Jestem hardkorem" i "Ale urwał".

  • okay..let's put the wall back up again and let's pickaxed this time.

    *LOL!!!

  • obras de arte

  • 到此一游

  • nice, for 1895

  • Can anyone tell me where can I find this or something like this music?

  • @ 3:10

    So THAT's what was parodied at the end of that one episode of The Simpsons were they were going into a reality show. I had the feeling it was a parody of something. Now I can get it.

    @ 4:28

    So THAT's the original infamous scene that scared the people. In a parody I saw, the train was running straight forward the camera, and while everyone was running out, the one wise guy standing and screaming "It's just a simplest optical illusion!" was invested by the train coming out of the screen.

  • MERCI , MAGNIFIQUE ****8))))*****

  • I wonder what all these people would think of the world had they been alive today. They'd probably be afraid of the loud sounds coming from the televisions, of people talking to themselves in their ear, of the music, of the clothing people wear, of how fast the cars are driven, etc.

  • @dirtynuke

    There's this Polish man who had a serious accident in 1988 and remained in a coma until 2006, even though just 18 years had passed to him the culture looked totally different. When interviewed what he thought about 2006 he was honest and said:"Why is everybody in such a hurry all the time and talking in their cell phones endlessly? Everything is suddenly so loud and people have no patience."

    The same thing would happen if any of us were frozen for 100 years and then awaken.

  • :)

    ENSOÑACIONES

  • the protagonist is an annoying dog

  • you see how big that fkn dog was?

  • i remember back when this came out i was about 12

  • 100 years ago, really is just a blink of an eye yet we've come so far. Now try and grasp a duration of 65 million years ago. Now try and imagine 1000 years in the future. How will we be perceived? Thank you I've just warped your mind.

  • @xshoreLS1 im sure we will have some big war or revolution that puts us back 1000 yrs before we reach 1000 yrs

  • Comment removed

  • @xshoreLS1 The way in which the human race is going, I very much doubt whether we will be here in a 100 years let alone a 1000 years.

  • I heard that George Lucas is re-releasing this in 3D. It won't add anything new to the experience, but there's going to be at least 300 percent more Jawas coming out of that tunnel.

  • It would be so awesome if I could go back in time, sneak into their movie theater, and replace the masterpiece "People Walking Out of a Tunnel" with "Avatar" or something similarly head-explosion inducing by 1890's standards.

  • Great, but why in the heck is that film running backward nearly at end of the clip programs ??

  • Catchy tune.

  • I think I saw one of those women with a mobile phone....

  • woooww 0:23

    in that time, the dogs are giants,, and now, our dogs are little gay shits

  • @redeadx5 Ever looked at an old house? They're made for short people. Now the dogs might of stayed the same size.

  • This song reminds me of UP!

  • I wish people had the manners and respect they did back then for their fellow human being.

    Sure things weren't perfect but people helped others more and cared.

    You would think by now we would have learned even better how to care and give a damn.

    Humanity has gone backwards, imo.

  • @AbsintheGlasses rewind the clock back just 7 years prior to this (1888) and you'll find it was the time Jack the Ripper committed some of the most barbaric crimes in the history of human kind. There might have been more respect in general but humanity has always had an ugly side as well as a good one, regardless of the era.

  • @AbsintheGlasses I see what you mean but there are alot of negative things that existed back then that are on much more minimal level nowadays e.g. slavery, racism, warfare e.t.c.

  • @AbsintheGlasses Yeah, because blacks weren't enslaved and women had the right to vote back then. Oh wait...

  • @AbsintheGlasses

    wtf are u rambling on about..........? how can you say shit like that on a piece of footage by the pioneering Lumiere Brothers........

  • @AbsintheGlasses I agree. We live in a corrupt world

  • @AbsintheGlasses

    dont talk bullshit in middle ages the people was burning tortured and killed from the church just cause they dont believe in god other other little stupid things

    our time is not perfect but much better then the middle ages or dark ages better i say!

  • @AbsintheGlasses It'd be hard to compare from present to past, especially in 1895. I'm pretty sure during that time of owning slaves and moving the Indians, respect wasn't dealt. Europeans knew how to whoop their kids those to teach them respect, now I agree that not a lot of parents disciplinary actions. I was whooped by my Italian father and I learned respect fast. :P

  • @Cuteyoshigirl All the women were decently dressed long dresses, submissive to their husbands. Brought up ther children with discipline unlike the females of today they go to all night parties in miniskirts and indulge in orgies,drunkeness and oral sex and return back home telling their parents that they will have sex to whoever they want and and wives also give orders to their husbands with no form of submission.

  • @RobertsDigital Wait, I go to parties, wear mini-skirts, and have orgies? It's hard for me to be respectful towards people, when in fact they expect me to act a certain way because of my sex. I'm guessing you "might" be a decent "person", but I do have my doubts on this one. The over-all message you've conveyed to me is very, what is the correct term? Oh, sexist? So when you mean submissive, do you mean women took their beatings and had to take beatings by their husbands? Very insightful.

  • @Cuteyoshigirl No offence but what I meant by submission is being loyal and non-adulterous. Not beating. I am not a muslim. More than 50% of western women who are married are adulterers. Most of the younger women dont ever want to get married but they prefer to go out on partying,dates and fornicate. 100 years ago most of the women kept their bodies pure before marriage and in marriage both the man and his wife loved themselves. Women were more closer to God back then but not now.

  • @RobertsDigital : They were submissive because accidentally beating your wife to death was considered an acceptable hazard of disciplining them, especially if they would not submit to being raped if they were not in the mood. Men were not required, even by religion, to give a crap where they stuck their dick, leading to large numbers of wives being infected with STDs by their adulterous husbands. Women stayed pure because their fathers knew what a bunch of filthy shits their own sex were.

  • @WhiteHawkUK I dont have time for your childish retarded comment & I suggest you speak when spoken to. You cant even post anything serious than join into other peoples conversation and talk rubbish. Why dont you read your post and ask yourself how old you are? Comments with no logic.

    Well you asked for it. Keep talking to yourself.

  • @RobertsDigital : I have never needed permission to talk to myself before, but I am grateful for your gracious blessing all the same. =D =D

  • @RobertsDigital : Aw... no fun. Maybe I trolled a little, but your reaction was a little melodramatic, wasn't it? It is hard to make a point contingent upon the presumption of exclusivity in exchanges conducted in such a public forum as this, but I will accept that my interjection was poorly composed. It is no excuse, but I was bored and it offered a moment of mindless amusement.

    Now that I have had time to properly digest the content of your comments, I realise the effort was beneath me.

  • Comment removed

  • @RobertsDigital : Of course you know that blocking me doesn't mean you can't see my comments, and as you've invited me to keep 'talking', I feel compelled to acquiesce. If we put aside for the moment the fact that your personal attack and choice of vocabulary ("retard", really?) undermines your attempt to cast aspersions upon my maturity, we're left with no more substance to your woman-bashing argument than that times were better when women were subjugated and people were more ignorant...

  • @RobertsDigital : In fact, it's hard for me to think of an argument that better highlights your mental incapacity than your own self-evident ignorance. Only the basest and most pathetic of uneducated individuals could so blandly state such crap backed by a statistic pulled out of their own arse - "50% of married women are adulterers", really? If you hadn't compelled me to communicate further, I might have been content to laugh at you and move on - now I think I might derive amusement for days!

  • @RobertsDigital : You're not coming out to play, Bobs? I suppose you really meant that I should 'talk' to myself after all, even though you previously suggested (following a severely abused ampersand) that I should only 'speak' when spoken to. Oh! The thought occurs that this also weakens your footing; you attacked my logic with a rant that is self-contradictory. Perhaps, when you realised it wasn't a woman you were attacking, you lost your nerve a bit. Might explain you running away, I suppose.

  • @RobertsDigital : Of course, logic would also dictate that those without the time for another's "retarded" comments would not be wasting said time on any such self-evidently puerile response, but as we've already established, logic does not appear to be your strong point any more than rationality or linguistic sense.

    Do me a favour - ask your mum if you can come out to play - I have exhausted the slim pickings of your witless remarks, and more material means more fun! =D

  • @WhiteHawkUK You need salvation for your soul. Its for your good.

  • Comment removed

  • @WhiteHawkUK You need Jesus in your life.

  • @RobertsDigital : No thanks- I managed to stay well away from skirt-wearing men with wandering hands quite well so far, and I have no intention of worshipping a fairy-tale revived by a power-hungry Roman dictator in his efforts to unite politics and religion in a largely-successful effort to ensure the security of his rule.

  • @RobertsDigital : In fact, I was brought up to take responsibility for my own actions rather than passing the moral buck to some higher power, I was raised to revere life without dictation; to love of my own volition, and not to hate just because some ignorant ancient tells me to. I don't advocate killing people for wearing more than one kind of thread, or for eating the wrong meat, or for having different beliefs or sexual practices.

  • @RobertsDigital : In fact, I don't see how the preachings of a long-dead Jew have any relevance to the modern age, when it's obvious that those who follow the Bible pick and choose from the myriad self-contradictions in order to tailor it to their own beliefs, and thereby provide (scant) rationale for their actions.

    In fact, I struggle to see what the mention of Jesus has to do with our exchange, though you have done me the great service of providing ample material for my continuing mirth.

  • @RobertsDigital : I am also struggling not to use the phrase "in fact". I only mention this as it seems irrelevance is the theme for the day. I'm glad you decided to come out and play - I had lost interest yesterday, and may well have forgotten all about taunting you here. It's a shame to pollute this page with my cerebral ejaculate, but I delight at the thought of you reading these posts and getting too miserable and depressed to waste energy on finding a woman to beat and subjugate.

  • @RobertsDigital : Of course, you've now validated this position by responding with such a humorous response (really; I actually laughed out loud, heartily).

    I'm willing to bet a year's income that I've done more good, contributed more to charity, treated people more fairly, and have far more laudable morals than you despite my status as a heathen; and I know for sure that I've treated women better than you have...

    ...oh wait, sorry; have you even started growing hair yet? I presume too much.

  • @Cuteyoshigirl : I'm with you. Infants crushed to death in factory machinery was not uncommon during their eighteen-hour, seven-day weeks of work. Women legally forced into sexual slavery. Beating a woman after a certain hour was considered anti-social (noise laws). Starving your tenants to death was a good way of vacating under-paying properties. Beating your slaves was okay, so long as injury was not permanent (though it could be disfiguring). What a lovely, *respectful* world it was, eh?

  • @Cuteyoshigirl The "I was beaten as a kid and it did me no harm" argument. Maybe in a lot of cases it doesn't but it certainly doesn't help a child learn respect, the only reason a child that is beaten behaves is out of fear not respect, there is a difference. That argument is only used by people who were beaten to justify it. Ok hows this for you "I wans't beaten as a child and did never did me any harm". My parents were against spanking and "whooping" I've turned out a decent person.

  • @AbsintheGlasses : You could not be further from the truth. It was not until The Great War depleted working-class man-power that new-fangled ideas about basic human rights, good working conditions, and class- and gender- equality were to arise. Being low-born usually meant you stayed low, and you were lucky not to be treated like an animal worked to death in unsafe conditions. People thrived on the literal blood, sweat, and suffering of those beneath them.

  • @AbsintheGlasses : ...so, great, yeah - we now have the right to treat everybody like shit and withhold respect from anybody we choose, rather than having it dictated by society at large. We can thank the fact that even our poorest are better off than those in developing countries who have now taken the place of our own 'untouchables'. We gave our people the right to humane treatment in their stead, and with it, the right to be scum by choice.

  • @AbsintheGlasses so true..

  • @AbsintheGlasses People helped others more? Well consider that there was still child labour in the Western World at this time, slums in the East End of London and countless other cities across Europe, women didn't have the vote, gay people were sent to prison and given hard labour; it doesn't sound like a better world to me. I'm sure there were just as many disrespectful and anti-social people back then, it's just people don't appreiciate what age they are living in.

  • This made me want to cry, in a good way! The hat-tipping, the family picnic, the elegant clothing, lively expressions. It feels like such a warm, familiar place to be.

  • 3:21 jaajajajajajajajaja!!!!!!!!

  • They could have at least filmed it in HD!! Jeez

  • Just spirits on a human journey ! don't take life to seriously... look at the baby(235) doing what babies do - this could be yesterday or 500 years ago. Thanks for sharing:)

  • Seems like only yesterday, thanks for the memories.

  • It's really hard to belive that the little child at 2:32 probally are dead today.

  • @TheBigGnome probably? this was over 100 years ago lol

  • @TheBigGnome If that baby lived a healthy and long life, if I could find that person , I could have brought that person in for my High school project about life in the early 1900's. My Project was done in 1985 when I was 15 and "the baby" at 2:32 could have explained life back to my class instead of me showing still black and white photographs. Yes, the child is definitely passed on now but he/she could have being still alive when I was a child myself ! Wow, that is amazing to thing about.

  • 3:10 origin of comedy

  • To me, this is the kind of thing that makes film special, as an art form. Unlike books, music, theater, paintings, etc., which are merely representations and second-hand testimony, film actually allows us to see, first hand, worlds that we're never seen, and people who may not even be alive any more. A window into the past. Marvelous.

  • I like the guys who tipped their hats and waved to the camera. Little did they know that the people who would see their gestures would be 100+ years in the future. Here we are in an electronic age, with computers, DVDs, video games, etc. and what are we doing? Looking back at the past. Our hats off to you, friendly strangers from the past!

  • A valid point, but that's how it will always be. What made you think of that? Slightly random...

  • HAHAHA! Look at the dog who is scaring people away LOL! :D

  • They are all in hell !

  • it's kinda spooky knowing that all these people are dead now.

  • @rocabear even the dog

  • Comment removed

  • @rocabear yeah.... :/

  • @rocabear including the dog

  • @rocabear who knows there are alot of 100+ people still, maybe 1 is still walking into shots when people are trying to film lol

  • @rocabear Good to know Im not the only one who thought of that.

  • @rocabear Bullshit what makes you think that?

  • @rocabear dannngg i was thinking the same thing while watching this video.

  • we did this in Uni today

  • 23 people think this will never catch on. :)

  • 4:32 - A train. Known in those days as the "horseless airplane."

    Lookit how all the women dressed. No wonder nobody let them vote.

    I kid, I kid.

    6:01 - The work of Satan, caught on film.

  • People engaging in that most popular of pasttimes in the late 19th Century: Exiting places.

    "Dear, I'm bored. Let's go down to the museum and exit it."

    "A fine idea. I'll fetch my coat."

    "I'll bring the camera!"

    Dig that father's mustache. And her clothes. It's a good thing this is silent film, cuz her clothes are too loud.

    Also: That baby could be your great-grandfather.  Think about that for a minute.

    3:12 - Son's prank

    3:23: Loving discipline, aka "beating the hell out of you."

  • Everybody's wearing a hat. I hate hats :)

  • weres the HD option?

  • OMG! where did you take this video?!
