The oldest living man in the U.S., Mr. Shelby Harris, was born on March 29th of that year. So yeah, everyone in this little flick is dead and some day you will be as well. It's not that wierd. Hell, little Zuzu is the only known living cast member of "It's a Wonderful Life" and that was only 1946.
@DJBell1986 I watch this video and I wonder what those people had to on that day. I wonder what they did for work, what meal they were going to have for dinner that evening. Youtube is awesome! We don't know who these people are, but videos like this allows us to remember their existence.
The sidewalk was a lot wider in 1901; they had cable cars & horses. Now we have the dull M23 and a monotony of senseless traffic. The footage was great.
That young couple appeared to be made not at all melancholic by the wanton effects of that blustering sidewalk grate. They seemed rather gay, by cracky!
Pretty sure this came with the Video. But anyways, this is the type of music that you should be appreciative of. If it weren't for inovations in this field of music, developing new styles and such, you wouldn't have your dubstep, or Metallica, Led Zeplin, RHCP, Nirvana, etc...
Love what came before, Classical's Where it's at. If you can't stand to learn these things, you don't deserve to be a musician, much less even listen to it. And I grew up with all this Metal, rock, etc..
to me this video feels like it was more a 1919-1920 but no... its actually 1901.. I just never new what the world beyond looked like in at that time i suppose.. like i said 1901 well u would of think there wasnt such a exsisting city and tall buildings... i only thought it was like tiny city with conficts and rats all over a dirty muddy narrow streets. But here it looks like a giant city.... So what did new york looked like in 1988 ? other then 1901
@danerogil well hard to believe this was really 1901.. well that thing on the ground looks high tech for a 1901. if you know what i mean. Plus the city looks huge considering ti was 1901.what would the city had been like in 1888 or less ? course 1901 looks there more like the year 1919 instead. Well kind of. and 1901 you would think there wasnt such an exsiting city.. only small black dirty towns with buddy streets and grawling rats all over the place and a petter pan look alike with the floot.
does anyone now exactly what the porpose of this video was meant to be for in 1901 ? Doesnt look real. Well it is real 1901 but it looks like everthing there is an act just for this movie set in 1901 ? Also new york looked quite advance and lots of tall buildings look alike in 1901.... i thought in 1901 there was such no city look alike. I had the feeling a city would look like dirty little towns with rats all over the streets and rape gangs around and dark narrow streets. But this looks advance
Enemy aliens had not taken complete control of NYC in 1901, they only bumped off Garfield and still arriving on boats, plotting, but not yet in complete control any where, but on their way.
The tragedy of August 1914 changed and started the utter destruction of Western civilization.
Open border savage invasion in cheered by regime media.
The most hated state in the union...but look here at the normal New Yorkers before they got angry and pissed off at the world, Lived there for 23 years (brooklyn) was born in California (Santa Fe) and never new how bad it was until I left and went back home god it is good to be back home.
@nichols4326 Maybe if you had grown up in New York instead of California, you'd know how to spell "knew" and use punctuation. Don't hurry back here, genius.
@ciel222 In Manhattan during that year, there was TONS of ethnic diversity as immigrants were pouring into the U.S. heavily at that time. Yes, it was very racist. Some may argue that it still is. Boring? I've observed that those who find their lives boring are generally boring people. One can find a world in a leaf and boredom is what one makes of their surroundings...in most cases.
WHEN LIFE WAS TOUGH..NO SUCH THING AS WELFARE OR RETIREMENT. U WORKED YOUR ASS OFF TILL U WERE DEAD...MAN WE R PUSSIES, COMPARED 2 OUR GREAT GRAND PARENTS...WE HAV IT 2 EASY.
@chadberry75 What's wrong with having it "2" easy? Along with that, we have better communications, education, health, longevity, reduction of disease, and last but not least...You Tube. Apparently you long for this time. All you have to do is move to where conditions are as you like, say Haiti?
People back then had better manners and were much more kinder than people today. Males are arrogant and selfish and don't care whereas women are too stuck on their cell phones and obsessed with their looks. Men didn't wear earrings too. Which is good. Why should men wear them? It looks stupid!
For all those posts stating thatall these people are dead is so irrevelent and stupid. We're all going to be dead 100 years from now. That's like people 100 years from now people looking at videos of us and laughing and saying "Ha! Ha! Those people are all dead!"
@SMGJohn Why not earlier eras? If given the chance, I would film hunter-gatherers, the people called "cavemen" even though most didn't live in caves the whole time.
@Rao665 Now I see thy oneself is being so ubiquitously garrulous flexing one's whims in such a flamboyantly omniscient manner must I be so mildly egregious in reply to such mastery of nebulous obfuscating prowess? I simply can attest that you unkind Ma'am is one of whom personifies an individual with the mere callousness of being indirectly prudent with confabulating paranoid retorts to obtusely address your own profound points in some sort of medium of pragmatic pretenses. Lady - slap yourself.
Impressive, we've gotten so used to the things that make our life so easy nowadays. We always wonder how we could ever do without them. This video shows the answer: we'd actually be very merry people!
There was no "Big Apple" in New York then only Big Pockets and Big Egos??? Fuck there still are today - like Snake said in "Escape From New York" The more things change the more they stay the same. Well two buildings did come down and I have a vague understanding if they're going to rebuild something there? I've always said New York effects America the most - Not Los Angeles nor California. Los Angeles compared to New York then is like comparing a cherry to the world's biggest pumpkin.
exaclty, and that cherry has more flavor than the worlds biggest pumpkin. yeah by the way, youtube and the rest of the fucking Internets is based out of California. New York may be america's zygote, but California is the world's future.
@Rao665 Uhhh - you might want to reconsider what you're saying when California has SO MANY ECONOMIC PROBLEMS from both the private and public sectors. Some flavor that Cherry has. Where is the Wall Street in California - please do tell.
UHHH...uhh....you might want to take a look at your fucking name there buddy. UHHH...You might want to consider this website your using right now were made from kids living in California...Uhhhh you might want to consider most of the Internet corporations come from California...UHHHH you might want to take a look at your damned You Tube handle...before you go and tell me about Economic problems. Uhhh...where is the wall street in Detroit uhhh....please do tell Uhhh -
Uhh. - you might want to consider that...Uhhhhh there's no Wall Street in LA because uhhhhh there never was a need to build walls around the city like New York did like n the early years of the country. Uhhhh, and uhhh...every city has their financial district uhhhh....the one in New York had more time to evolve so uhh no shit it would be the location of the Nations stock exchange so uhhhh..
And Uhh...if your the kind of idiot who would rather eat giant pumpkins than sweet cherries, then be my guess. But uhh don't bring up "Economic" issues when New York City had its Economic problems in the 70's-and 80's...and uhhh California's GDP is STILL equal to that of whole countries like Spain, and Italy. And right below that of China.. Uh please do tell.
you meant "affects America the most" right?????. Uhh please do tell, where are the Military bases in New York? Uhh why is Pendleton, San Diego Naval Base located out in California? You want to talk that junk on "how NYC affects the US the most"? take a look at the US's military arm. and you'll see where its located at.
@Rao665 Uhhh you might want to get a life outside of your computer ego. I thought we were talking about now ........ according to what you said California "is now" and you're talking about New York in the 70's and 80's what the fuck does that have to do with California's economic ebb? The verb "effect" means to CAUSE MR. LOSER ASS although it is not used as often. Funny how you're rambling mind just jumped to Detroit - sounds like you have nothing better to do than be so impishly profound.
"Loser ass"?? talk about "ego" you shitbag. and using "fuck" is that suppose to make your point stronger?
Your the one who brings up Californias economics. When its still on par with sovereign states. And what the fuck does New York in the 70's and 80's have to do with it? Every state goes through a cycle you fuck. Dont know why you even bothered mentioning california's current economics.
@Rao665 You brought up the 70's and 80's about New York dunce face. Get a clue - READ WHAT YOU STATE. Get another clue you menacing asshole - CALIFORNIA IS VIRTUALLY RUNNING ON ECONOMIC FUMES. Geeez - got to spell it all out for you. Tell Governor Brown about "how on par" the state of California is. Making what point stronger????? Lady get the hell off this forum you motormouth jack ass magoo. Take your ego to mommy while your at it.
"dunce face" what are you? straight out of the 1920's? How bout them Brooklyn Dodgers ehh...How bout that Lomax Wakowski...finest ball fielder west of Rochester! I'll tell you how 'on par' Detroit is...and apparently someone doesn't know ebb and flow in Economics. Talk about ego...i don't go around calling people "dunce face"....dang nammit! How about that Cockrel! You might want to tell him commercials isn't going to save the city. By the way, you voted for Taft didn't you?
dang nammit. I knew yous was a Tafter! That ole Taft...crazy sonnofabitch! Heard he sat on a trolley and crushed it he did! how bouts a game of stickball sir!?
@Rao665 New York has always made America what it is for the most part with several other Eastern towns. All your "Uhh's" make me think you become too infatuated with your ego on a computer. Must be California life - by the way shit for brains I live in this state. For the record - Don't recall California having much stake outside of a gold rush in the shape of America coming forth to fruition. America didn't start in California.
@8173415 hey did you know the 1939 film was actually the 3rd rendition of Oz. There was one filmed in 1910 & 1925 not to mention the 1902 stage performances etc. just thought you'd like to know, you can actually watch both 1910 & 25 films here on tube. take care
@shakedownstreet48 No there still alive they been transported to another planet.Where things stay the same and you never die.It's call the old time planet.
Thank god for the new modern subways running under the street. Now we can see women's shins! To think that we would become so wicked as to be waiting for ladies dresses to be blown up around their ankles. Now lets go down to the Bowery, buy a whore, contract syphilis and die in a sanitarium!
wondering where on 23rd this is... is that the flat iron building in the back?
this is where the phrase 23 skidoo came from. Guys would stand on 23rd street and wait for women's dresses to rise up... so the police would tell them... "23... skidoo" in other words... move along
The couple walking into frame at the end may have been a set up as the lady's skirt blew up over the grate(from a subway train?-pretty risque for that time), anyway, he was NOT a gentleman as he allowed the lady to walk nearer the street than he, for as any gentleman knows, the custom of the man walking nearer the street was because of the possibility of horses or later cars kicking up dust, dirt and water. In that case the gentleman would be splashed and the lady protected.
im going to try and find the exact location and make this video all over again. it would be amazing to compare these side by side with the music from our generation :D
if you think this is a good idea rank me up and ill get this remade.
that was a good movie. did it win an emmy? i like how she looks across the street after the calf flash, somebody whistled or something at her, so the boyfriend grabs and is like "all right that's enough you floozy, we're going to church right now."
Wow even in the 1901 people in New York always look stylish! I love when a woman passed through with a puffy blouse and a long skirt with a lacy umbrella :)
We've been sold a lie and the frightening thing is how many are still blind to it. Some people didn't live past 50 back then, sure, but would you trade a wonderful 50 for a lousy 75? There's no denying people were happier and better adjusted, I don't even recognize humanity in most of the masses any longer. They're a different breed. Just look at a few YouTube channel comments, people are dead inside.
@italianace yes but did they miss those things they never had? We bought into the myth that technology would make our lives simple and make us all happier and more at ease, it's a fact that were the most psychologically depressed, anxious, phobic, traumatized generation ever. Another fact is, people back then were truly happy with those "simple things" you're trashing. Do you even see men smiling as they walk down the street anymore?
The kid in the last 3 seconds who smiles at the camera kinda creeped me out

Uhh. - you might want to consider that...Uhhhhh there's no Wall Street in LA because uhhhhh there never was a need to build walls around the city like New York did like n the early years of the country. Uhhhh, and uhhh...every city has their financial district uhhhh....the one in New York had more time to evolve so uhh no shit it would be the location of the Nations stock exchange so uhhhh..

And Uhh...if your the kind of idiot who would rather eat giant pumpkins than sweet cherries, then be my guess. But uhh don't bring up "Economic" issues when New York City had its Economic problems in the 70's-and 80's...and uhhh California's GDP is STILL equal to that of whole countries like Spain, and Italy. And right below that of China.. Uh please do tell.

You want to talk that junk on "how NYC affects the US the most"? take a look at the US's military arm. and you'll see where its located at.

@Rao665 Uhhh you might want to get a life outside of your computer ego. I thought we were talking about now ........ according to what you said California "is now" and you're talking about New York in the 70's and 80's what the fuck does that have to do with California's economic ebb? The verb "effect" means to CAUSE MR. LOSER ASS although it is not used as often. Funny how you're rambling mind just jumped to Detroit - sounds like you have nothing better to do than be so impishly profound.

"Loser ass"?? talk about "ego" you shitbag. and using "fuck" is that suppose to make your point stronger?
Your the one who brings up Californias economics. When its still on par with sovereign states. And what the fuck does New York in the 70's and 80's have to do with it? Every state goes through a cycle you fuck. Dont know why you even bothered mentioning california's current economics.

@Rao665 New York has always made America what it is for the most part with several other Eastern towns. All your "Uhh's" make me think you become too infatuated with your ego on a computer. Must be California life - by the way shit for brains I live in this state. For the record - Don't recall California having much stake outside of a gold rush in the shape of America coming forth to fruition. America didn't start in California.

Thank god for the new modern subways running under the street. Now we can see women's shins! To think that we would become so wicked as to be waiting for ladies dresses to be blown up around their ankles. Now lets go down to the Bowery, buy a whore, contract syphilis and die in a sanitarium!

wondering where on 23rd this is... is that the flat iron building in the back?
this is where the phrase 23 skidoo came from. Guys would stand on 23rd street and wait for women's dresses to rise up... so the police would tell them... "23... skidoo" in other words... move along

The couple walking into frame at the end may have been a set up as the lady's skirt blew up over the grate(from a subway train?-pretty risque for that time), anyway, he was NOT a gentleman as he allowed the lady to walk nearer the street than he, for as any gentleman knows, the custom of the man walking nearer the street was because of the possibility of horses or later cars kicking up dust, dirt and water. In that case the gentleman would be splashed and the lady protected.

We've been sold a lie and the frightening thing is how many are still blind to it. Some people didn't live past 50 back then, sure, but would you trade a wonderful 50 for a lousy 75? There's no denying people were happier and better adjusted, I don't even recognize humanity in most of the masses any longer. They're a different breed. Just look at a few YouTube channel comments, people are dead inside.

@italianace yes but did they miss those things they never had? We bought into the myth that technology would make our lives simple and make us all happier and more at ease, it's a fact that were the most psychologically depressed, anxious, phobic, traumatized generation ever. Another fact is, people back then were truly happy with those "simple things" you're trashing. Do you even see men smiling as they walk down the street anymore?
