  • it's such a weird feeling to see moving images of people with such humanly expressions as if they were your mother, or sister, or friend, but only to realize that almost everyone from that time period has died so long ago.

  • This is something beautiful, eerily sad, and profound about these tests - all at the same time. Hard to describe, really.

    Given the time to when you are dead and people read your comment? It's no more weird than reading historical literature if you think about it. A person does not need the visual to express themself.

  • I love the fact that the girl obviously rolls her eyes at the kid at 1:27, and then suddenly pretends to adore it just in order to please the camera :-D

  • This video to me is one of the most amazing and utterly moving piece of film I have ever seen,for a history nerd like my self it is so alluring to see the clothes,and subtle mannerisms captured forevermore on film...Simply Gorgeous and sublimelike finding a box of old fragile lace in a attic.

  • fap fap fap...

  • I will miss Kodak Film

  • @ultravioletgaia sad soul

  • So this was actual color and not painted?

  • It's like post-mortem
