The Stunts of old movies without the help of Computer
In the early days of filmmaking, stunts were performed without the help of CGI aka computer-generated imagery.
This meant that actors and stunt performers had to take on dangerous and often life-threatening stunts themselves.

The private film about ancient devices that were discovered during the Nazi expeditions.
This is said to be a rare footage from an unknown private film collection archive, that supposedly shows objects and ancient devices that were discovered and then taken away during the Nazi expeditions in Egypt and Antarctica, which are still shrouded in the secrecy.
I do know for a fact that many artifacts have been looted in previous wars but I have never seen anything like this before, it will be very interesting to hear how they will explain this.

Water fueled Car
In 1976 during the oil crisis Stanley Meyer created a car that runs on water based on the principle of splitting water atoms into its elemental form, burning hydrogen to create energy and releasing oxygen generating no emissions.
Meyer claimed his vehicle was able to travel 112 miles with just 4 litres of water and nothing else.
This car could easily go 1000+ miles per tank on something that costs hardly anything which must have sounded truly magical and that’s exactly when his troubles started.
Stanley had previously stated that he had been threatened many times by representatives from oil companies from around the world and then he mysteriously died..
Did Stanley die because he knew how to turn water into fuel? It's up to you to decide

Somewhere on this planet there are probably a few hundred or thousands standing around in one or more military restricted areas, diligently blowing a water vapor chemical mixture into the air.

Giant Man!
A man of gigantic stature in a column of celebrants...
This is not a frame from a feature film, it is a chronicle now attributed to 1890.
Is it really a giant?
This two-and-a-half minute video appeared on the Web in 2007. It appears to show a man of gigantic stature walking in a convoy at some celebration in Japan. You can see footage of him lying down at what is probably a tea ceremony and appears to have been received at the imperial palace.

The Hindenburg Disaster
The Hindenburg Disaster
The largest dirigible ever built by German Nazis. The reasons turned out to be atmospheric conditions that rainy evening and hydrogen leakage from the balloon.
A leaking gas cell allowed hydrogen from the airship to mix with oxygen from the outside air, and a spark, possibly from static electricity, ignited the gas leading to the fire.

IT'S FORBIDDEN TO FORBID
"IT'S FORBIDDEN TO FORBID"
Or in French they say "Il est interdit d'interdire!"
This is the main slogan of the student revolution in France. if you don't know what this is about, in May 1968, there were protest of left-wing students in Paris for liberation of desire, which ignited a political crisis in France.
All public transport and communications stopped working. Factory, television and radio workers went on strike. Already on May 20, the number of strikers reached 10 million. France was completely paralyzed.
After that went Charles de Gaulle, president of France from 1959 to 1969. He really remains an icon there, because thanks to his skills France was liberated from the Nazis in 1944. The president was much loved, but his views differed from the views of nation.
"I stop exercising my functions of president of the Republic. This decision will take effect at noon today."
So, without any farewell ceremonies or speeches, General de Gaulle ended his political career.

What was the footage of American?
This relates to how Americans build, from youth throughout life, by using their ingenuity not only in technological advancement but in everyday efforts by everyone. Promo for 1960 Chevrolets, with excellent footage of Americans at home, work, and leisure, and a short sequence showing futuristic appliances and the manufacturing of telephones and transistor radios (in the United States).

Social Class in AMERICA
Shows the differences in the life experience of three male babies from three different social classes. One young man succeeds his father as president of the family manufacturing company. Another, a middle-class white-collar worker at the same company, leaves the town of his birth and moves to New York City where he becomes a respected advertising art director, thus rising in social status. A third, born into the working class, trains as a mechanic and holds an influential job at a service station. The sociological tone of the film does not mask a sobering narrative of the limitations that social class divisions inflict on all Americans.
