@MaryOMackie Bless your heart, MaryOMackie, your are so right about the times, and how even though things are better in some ways now days, we have lost something very important, and the folks in these films would be shocked in many ways if they knew what the future holds.

@Ramzzy666 Sure. but that doesnt mean the city is busy and people looked at the camera less then this one on the sea side.. living back then in a busy city doesnt mean they allready had cameras in store... it was still kind of new stuff like never seen before or at least something strange back then... So thats why i was wondering why the city peopled just moved on and careless about a guy with a strange technology camera back then in 1901. Maybe they had ofther better technology in thier minds

@VOXS2 not really... everyone back then that you'd see at a seaside usually were on holiday...so to be on holiday and someone pop up with a camera (no matter what country you lived in back then cameras that could record film were rare) obviously they are going to look, see any other video in say the streets of london no one looks at the camera cause they're getting on with there day.

its interesting this video.. everyone used to stare at the camera.. but on other videos of 1901 like usa people didnt much care stood there staring at a camera men... but this video looks like as if no one have seen a camera before.... I gues usa was more advance then what uk was at the time ? Is this available on dvd? whats the name of it so i can look it up.

Very poignant to think that some of the young lads running along the promenade probably ended up face-down in French mud.

Love this film. There's so much to look at. The man missing a leg (2:02), the other one playing with is umbrella, the kids running, people on the beach.. And then the jump cut where suddenly the people have stopped moving and here they are, looking directly at you... This is amazing.

Back when the term 'ladies and gentlemen' rang true.

Interesting views of pre-Islamic Britain.

It's a haunting look back into a byegone era. But what I find most surprising is how well-dressed all the people in this film are. |
