My great grandma, was born 1899, she saw the Lumiere movie with the train entering the station. She told me that the audience took cover on the cinema floor, the experience felt too real for them. Very cool to know how it was back in the days.

Over 100 years old and still better quality than many security cameras in use today.

I'm old enough to remember when all these old films would appear 'sped up'. Great that modern technology was eventually able to slow them down to the normal speed. Enjoyed this, thank you.

My grandparents, born in 1890 and 1897, in Belgium, came to America, specifically, Detroit, MI, saw this world. It’s amazing that they each lived to 104, and my grandmother died in 2000, so technically, she was alive in 3 different centuries! They had interesting stories to tell, but at the time, I didn’t appreciate it, since I was growing up and raising children. They did hold my children, and they showed up at my house in dressed up clothing… a suit and tie for my grandfather, and a dress and stockings for my grandmother. At home, under her apron, she wore a dress and nylons rolled down to her knees.
I miss them!

Whenever I watch these films, I cannot help but wonder as to what became of the people on the other side of the lens. Their lives, what were they doing when the footage was shot, what were they thinking, and so forth. Strange how short our lives really are and yet the way we make plans one would think we are immortal!

MY mother was born in 1916 and talked about going to a movie and seeing people who had never seen a motion picture and how funny they were. Many shouted at the actors to watch out and things like that.

My grandparents were born in 1879, 1886, 1892 and 1894. This was their era. Btw, I was born in 1957. 3 of them were still alive when I was a kid, including the ones from 1879 and 1886.

The NYC footage is currently being played on an endless loop at the NYS Museum in Albany.

What happened to architecture? Buildings are ugly now and all those beautiful ones destroyed. Why?

[ofprda]

It’s crazy the quality difference between 1888 and 1911 already. Technology was already evolving at that point…

[Anticrystal]

As I've gotten older myself and time seems to compress, I realize that these vintage films are from a time that was not so long ago. Given how far we've come since then, I wonder what the next 100 or so years holds.

Did anyone else notice the moving sidewalk starting at 4:58? I think they said it was in Paris France. The forgotten technology in those days are also something to be amazed at as we have lost or forgotten this technology. Look at the people as they are careful to step on the moving sidewalk in motion. Just like the moving flat escalators we see in some airports today. Amazing...

This is one of the many reasons I love silent movies. Filmed on the streets and in the parks of major cities, people walking by often never realized they were cast members in a Hollywood movie. Also, we are some of the first people in history able to see moving images of our grandparents and great grandparents daily lives. Before film, we could only imagine what their world looked like.

Preserving these films for this long, and the institutions that preserved some of them, makes me optimistic that YouTube will survive for more than a century, and then the people of that future time will access this video and find our comments, with the words “120 years ago” written next to it. How I wish I knew their feelings then.
If you read my words, don't judge us for our TikTok archive, it's a long story.

Film must've been a really unique method of recording history, it captures a moment in history in a way that was never done before.

One of the last from the 1880s in Leeds is very special. My grandfather was born in 1880 (youngest of 10 children all of whom survived). His oldest brother (there were 7 brothers in all) ended up working in Leeds not long after that and the family was very proud he qualified as a lawyer and had his LLB. As my father was born when his father was 49 and my grandfather was the last child (his father was born in 1832) 2 generations were the length of what is often 4 generations so that puts us quite more easily in touch with the past than some families. Moving film gives us so much detail. I hope we can preserve it. Last year we fond ap hoto of the other side of the family - my great granny with her 10 children (just widowed for the second time) in about 1916 which we would not have found but for the internet. I wish my mother had still been alive to see the photo.

Not gonna lie seeing the people wave at the cameras even on the beginning of the 1910s made me smile, we really aren't that different in some places.

I am 98% certain that the one-legged gentleman in the bowler hat is my great-grandfather, Nathaniel Weinstein.

I'm glad l that such old films are being digitally restored - When as a little girl in the early 1960's I saw pre-1930's silent films on TV, the speed was too fast, and the films were so grainy that I thought it was always dark and rainy in the "old days"! It's wonderful to see scenes and people, and the fashions they wore from over 110-120 years ago in clear sunshine and in good detail.

[KaracGaltran]

It's amazing how the cameras of those times are better than the ones that film UFOs nowadays.
