Well the earliest born person to be photographed was a lady born in 1746. So she could have known people from the 1600s. Its not the same as a footage but still close enough.

Maybe AI will advance enough to reconstruct video from archaeological artifacts from ancient eras. This, to some extent, is happening with reconstructing the behavior and appearance of dinosaurs. Yes, most of the evidence in that case is from bones, but the idea might be able to be applied to human artifacts with super advanced *singularity* AI. Who knows?

I think the look in their eyes is more like "the heck is that guy doing" they didn't have the "are you recording me?" face. Which probably culturally didn't develop until film cameras were much more common. Which would mean that this is TRULY a day in life in Paris in 1920.

It separates that difference, this being in colour is more what we're used to seeing, makes it all feel real as black and white film feels like we're looking into some other world.

@UKposts Commenter Yes, that is true but given how old this footage is that’s a little beyond the point. People were very classist in the 1920’s. And film was (as you said) a limited commodity and they used it to film the beautiful parts of France at the time.

They look into the camera and smile, and stay still, probably because they think it is a still camera, so they need to remain still for the exposure to be taken. Unlike todays cameras, some antiquated cameras would require, even in good light, exposures taking over one second, not the instantaneous ones we know today from our iPhones

@@benclarkson4205 They're not "instantaneous" at all, try moving the camera while you take a pic and see if it's instantaneous.

"People are the same in every epoch". No, they aren't. Social evolution makes changes in their views and personality. Here they genuinely enjoyed the moment and the company of each other. Nowadays many are obsessed with their smartphones to chat or create video "vlogs" for their social media and care more about looking as if they're enjoying the moment than actually enjoying it. They care more about the opinion of others than living the present.

@@jameswalker6864 Now how can you prove that the desire for appreciation, showcasing and caring about others’ opinion didn’t exist in the twenties? The rest is just technology development.

@@sevchyk It's not "just" technology development. It changes the way people behave. Obviously, the opinion of others has always mattered, but with the rise of social networks people care MORE about the opinion of others than anything else, thus creating a more supeeficial society. So, in sum, technology and cultutal changes do change people. There's such thing as cultural evolution. We're not the same as we were in the Pleistocene. We're not the same we were in the X century and we're not the same we were in 1920.

@@jameswalker6864 Incorrect. The human nature is always the same, and an example to that is the ancient Greek philosophers’ studies that show the same traits, feelings, and emotions etc. You may read Aristotle’s Politics and easily recognise human’s behaviour and motivation for that, remained unchanged until now. What you get with social media, is the same desire for appraisal from others only exaggerated due to lack of real life grumpy face-to-face criticism. Outside internet, you got the same human with the same set of psychology and feelings and instincts that they had for thousands of years. For example, the women still search for a stronger and wealthier man, still maintain the household tasks, men try to find a beautiful one. And in the 1920s they had their social media, poetic and other arts societies, where they groomed themselves, attended, showed their works and appearance and cared for others’ appraisal exactly like they do now. The only difference is the internet as the new technology and a medium for that showcasing. How can human instincts change, how can, say, a desire to be rich change over thousands of years? That’s obvious, nothing changed for thousands of years. And the cultural evolution that you talked about is nothing more than a slight change of the fashion, mannerisms, moves and trends, whereas the nature and the psychology of human is always the same. And now the people of the same age as it is in the video enjoy the company just as much, despite the internet, and young people as well. No one meets with friends specifically to make selfies, they still search a company in them.

There's a lot of factors that makes it feel that way, the old buildings and monuments are still there, the pavement too, it's a version of Paris that's relatively new; it was modernized from 1853 to 1870 under Napoleon III.

(Yeah, it may sound weird, as it's of course obvious they were also humans, but meaning that that era is not as far as we sometimes may think when we talk about it or read about it in the books, those can literally be our great-grandparents, talking about age). And although with the historical movies right now we have the capacity to imagine how was the world 100 year ago, it's not the same feeling when you're *LITERALLY* watching a casual day in Paris, with people who actually existed and that were there just living their daily lives, and who had for sure a family, hobbies and their own problems (not just a bunch of "politic-socioeconomic" information as some people may think about when we talk about the "boring" history).

@@misterwhyte I like elements of womens 1920s fashion. I love the hats and the makeup, the patterns and materials used to make the clothing (natural fibers). I do not like the drop-waist silhouettes or the extremely short hair though. The beauty standard for women back then was a "boyish figure" which is why womens clothing from the period is so square and shapeless, which is also why it looks so unflattering, it works against womens natural curves.

The woman are beautiful. People always wanted to look classy in public back then.

@@misterwhyte the women look particularly cool. Ton opinion tu peux t'asseoir dessus, really.

interesting perspective

Nice

Interesting Indeed

Technically they never saw the future

@@nooraqueen2716 of course they did. Unless they died the second after the camera stopped recording they definitely saw the future

Yes, but did they want to be?

@@louhxmnd2485 >:l ???

@@louhxmnd2485 they ruined all la francophone

@A why did they let this happen? If youre weak af, part of it is definitely your fault.

@@IcyBrown Same question to you. You need Muslims to populate and pay your pensions because your women like muslim men and don’t want to reproduce with feminine French men
