It‘s just fascinating what cinematography is able to give us. We can watch people from 120 years ago.

[BittersweetMoods]

Love these old videos colorized. They have a dreamlike quality.

[RocLobo]

My favorite part of these old videos is that people haven't learned to act or pose in front of a camera. You see them act like no one is watching which is more interesting from a historical standpoint

Several observations: 1. Watching the couple having at their meal rather ordinarily is a total revelation - as if we expected people from the past to eat and drink any differently. 2. The wife looks to have bound feet (which would indicate they were people of some status). It is interesting to see her physical relationship - the slight movements and non-movements of her feet - to what must have been a devastating impairment. 3. The male opera player giving the other male actor a peck on the cheek with no qualms about it at all! Beautiful!

Watching this kind of footage makes me wonder on the insane amount of people who already lived on this planet.

[Nikolapoleon]

The soldiers struggling with their guns kind of remind me of reenactors.

[EnglishMagic]

I watched it without sound so I could get a better feel of what the original viewers saw. It was interesting. Also, the video must be flipped because all the "actors" do everything with their left hand and I doubt every single one of them was actually lefthanded. Great video, though.

Amazing how in only a short space of time that they look nothing like they do now

[wabisabi]

I watched in another documentary that the tallest performer (near the end) was a very prominent figure in the Chinese opera scene back in the day. I just forgot his name.

Putting Bach's Two part Inventions nr. 11 and 6(originally for piano but here transcribed for Lute and Cello) is a wonderful idea. Bravo.

[The.Original.Potatocakes]

I’m hooked on these now, thanks. Btw I love the music in all of your videos sir.

[davidsmith]

Amazing how much color adds to these old movies

[mattjames]

Some things that stand out to me: It's cool to see scenes of "old fashion" China. That is probably what things looks like for hundreds (thousands?) of years before this was filmed. Also, and I realize this is stupid, but it's funny to think that all these great cities and civilizations across the world were made by people that were probably 5'4 and 80lbs. If I had a friend that size, I wouldn't think to ask them to help me move a couch up a flight of stairs, but they built the Great Wall.

To me: Finely decorated Qing dynasty era tea cup
To them: Everyday tea mug

Also, tall theatre guy has more camp energy than Lady Gaga and the last 20 years of Eurovision put together.

The Beijing Opera is so beautiful! Love the costumes❤️

[AndyFromBeaverton]

No wonder they had trouble in the early 20th Century fighting wars, they taught their soldiers to shoot left-handed.

I seen the foot binding ouch at the 210 mark the lady who is seated
