Which is better: Life in 1920s or Life in 2024?? Which city would you like to live in in the 1920s??

[marktrow]

Crazy to think all those people staring at the camera had no idea they would be getting watched 100 years later on a thing called the internet. 🤔

I wish Cameras were invented hundreds of years earlier. This footage is like a time machine. Imagine if we also had footage of the 1600s and maybe further.

Edit: Off topic, you guys should watch Titanic. Just watched it, it was a really good movie. The plot is simple. But the message and symbolism is quite deep and profound and makes you reflect on life and everything, but in a good way. CGI also holds up for a 90s film. And the way the final ending scene was executed was just so emotionally overwhelming, especially watching this movie for the first time without knowing any of the scenes.

Gosh, just imagine how modern these people felt. Perspective is everything.

The lack of ads on the streets make the city much more beautiful

[LOL-cringe]

I love the curiosity in their eyes when they see they're being filmed. To know that these images have survived 100 years when these people have not, is so touching!

[MisterGoofy]

I am French and I live there ... It is crazy because the streets looks exactly the same as today yet these old cars and people clothes makes me feel I actually watching a video footage from a different country ... Beautiful work with the colours by the way

[bliss]

I love how the people look into the camera and smile as if something special is happening, makes me smile too. I guess this is as close as we can come to time travel. Thank you.

I live in a small city that’s been around since the early 1800s, and maybe I’m just weird but I regularly imagine the people walking around back then, especially when I go down to the river, I imagine all the different kids through the years that used to hang out there and skip rocks. It touches my heart for some reason. And seeing videos like this makes me feel so connected to these people. It almost feels like this is just a movie

[rickyweston]

seeing Paris in colored gives a completely different perspective of how things were. for some strange reason changing from BW to color brings us closer to historical events

[andreac]

I can't believe this was over 100 years ago. I'm so glad someone preserved these moments in time for us to have a living history of these events forever.

[kal-el]

I’m holding a window into 1920’s France in my hand 100 years after this was filmed.
Mind boggling.

[maggie]

They all look very elegant.. very well dreesed..

[Zaku]

i like how chill and relaxed everyone looks. Truly a different era compared to todays world.

[OddAntSounds]

I love how she smiles when she realizes the camera is pointing towards her (4:58), so far away from thinking one day 100 years later she would still be visible and distributed around the world as restored digital data!

[sourceeee]

its still wild to comprehend that these people will never be able to see or meet us, but we remember them, see them clearly and watch it on a screen. Its like a whole different world back then. Technology and cameras are the closest we have to time travel currently in my opinion

[kissbela]

Beautiful, clean, safe and white. The real Paris

[herenyahope]

5:07 that moment he moved her jacket so she wouldn’t sit on it, such a simple but sweet gesture! And him giving her little smooches afterward, I hope they had a good life.

[XanderEwald]

If you wonder how clean the city is and how well everyone is dressed: These films usually show the best parts of town and the richest people. Nobody back then would waste expensive film to show common people and the terrible conditions they lived in. So no, everything was certainly not nicer 100 years ago.

[erika]

Wow, I just love seeing them dressed so nicely and in fashion! Color really makes such a huge difference in these old videos. It feels like I’m watching something more recent than the 1920s.
