  • Life was truly simple and innocent back then. I remember the stories my parents would tell me about life in those days.

  • What a lovely video!

    Sal

  • Such serenity. Beautiful clips and music.

  • It's always dreamy to think that some other time would have been more sweet to have lived in. Existentially, these people's lives were no more simple than ours are now.

  • I wish we could go back to these times and cherish them. Life moves too fast today. We need to slow down and cherish the simple things.

  • Just want to comment on this video. Very touching. I just lost my dad at 76 due to cancer today. I want everybody to cherish their moms and dads,sisters and brothers Cause you just dont when their time will be here on earth. I wish I had spent more time with my dad. Thnxs and God Bless,

  • @SuperLittleman101 Yes, we should cherish our families and friends, they are such a blessing.

  • WOw 1940 so much Racism against blacks in the Southern States at this time, Wars in full effect, and the Jews in Germany under the domain of sadistic Hitler.

  • I wonder what happened to all those people, I am sure most everyone in that are dead, or very old. But you have to wonder who they were an what became of them.

  • i love old stuff

  • when the innocence was still as it is.

  • does anyone know the title of the song that is played??

  • @gulacykeln I downloaded it from Youtube free music. Im surprised it doesn't say. Im not sure.

  • @gulacykeln

    The name of the tune is "A Moment in the Life of Me" by Dax Johnson from the Album "Random and the Purpose...

    I used the music recognition software application SoundHound istalled on my iPhone to make that determination

  • The dark coupe the boy gets into repeatedly is a ca. 1947 Lincoln. The flying boat reminds me of the Pan Am Clipper, used mostly for long-range over-ocean travel. Some of this -- the parade and Chamber of Commerce scenes for example, may have been taken in S. America. The road scenes appear tropical. These people are well-to-do -- maybe dapper Dad is a commercial attache or some other type of U.S. diplomat.  The videographer is prob. a young teen -- swoopy camera. GREAT music -- broke my heart.

  • It was a time when familys had time for each other. They sat down for dinner and ate together. We played games, and would stay outside playing till dark. We always felt safe never worried because Mom wasn't too far away. Our big treat was making icecream and inviting the neighboor over to share with us. We were taught to be proud of our country and went to church to worship our God. I was allowed to be a child, kids today grow up way to fast. It was a good time to be Born and raised.

  • @Kathleen6209

    the song is nice but kinda sad.

  • @Kathleen6209 those were truly simplier days. these videos always make me sad because times have changed, and in these videos you can see those kids had their mothers love, warmth and companionship; and yet now the kids are all grown up and their mothers have all passed on. Change can be a sad, and bad thing. But I just simply wish there was a time machine so we could all go back to those days like in this video ^

  • @KmerWannabe95 This is true, but you have to remember that people have more rights and freedoms now a days. We have vaccines to cure sickness, and we are slowly but surely moving away from racism. There was also a terrible war going on! But I feel like I would have loved to live in this time, too.

  • oh i rather live there than today cause today sucks

  • I dunno why but it makes me feel sad watching it. Probably just the music or a desire to return to such a time.

  • to lostfaith1980: i feel the same way you do, a sadness in watching these. It was a different world, a different time. It's all gone and can never return. What poet was it that said "you can never go home again"

  • what a beautiful choice of music.

  • they must have been wealthy family to own that car and a video cam.

  • A piece of American life, have a look at 'unknown mystery boat trip' This is another lost film ,this time in the English home counties from the same period. Excellent!

  • some beautiful piano playing in this. Who was it? Such a powerful video with a good message of family and simpler times and amusements.

  • OH MAN, i wanna go back, i wanna fucking live in the 40s!! :(

  • I so wish I lived in the 1940's. Everything looks so cool! The cars and everything. And if I was 18 at this time I would join up in WWII because I would serve my country to stop what happened in the 1940's like bad guys and Hitler.

  • well, heres guy like me! i fuckin love the 40s.yeah i wanna live at the 40s

  • u know if it wasn't for the racism back then i would appericate this time period even more than i do now

  • Chetmcgee, what are you, like 10 yrs. old?! That is an ignorant and uneducated comment. This is very nice for the time period. Cool sea planes are boring?! Happy families who cared about each other are boring? This movie speaks of a more respectable time. I love it.

  • i'm sure they mean something to the people who took them

  • u don't get it do u? these are families who lived in a time of innocence that is far longed for today these people are happy and...and i wish i lived during this time
