Experience the real Babylon Berlin of the 1920's. Teeming with flappers, bobbed hair, cloche hats, and the dancing girls of Berlin's infamous Cabaret scene.
AI enhanced with deep AI neural networks.

By 1924, post WW1 Germany's economy had stabilized and crime began to decline. This era was known as the "Golden Years" of Weimar. Berlin in particular saw a cultural explosion.
The 1929 Crash and Great Depression which followed it, saw an end to democracy and the rise of fascism.
This is a short AI enhanced edit of the Walther Ruttmann classic silent documentary film.
Berlin : Symphony of a Great City 1927.
archive.org/details/BerlinSym...
In no way, do we wish to detract from the original film. As a fan of the 'silent' film genre, it is truly a masterpiece of the film style known as 'actuality'. Stunning to watch in all it's glory and at it's original frame length. Hopefully this short edit, which is primarily focused on Berlin's women, will help introduce a host of new fans to the work of Walther Ruttmann.
AI Restoration Process:
1. DeNoise and removed artifacts.
2. Increased motion interpolation to 60 fps, using a deep learning open source program Dainapp.
3. Upscaled using AI to 4K resolution
4. Added color using Deoldify
5. New ambient soundtrack created.
This short AI enhanced film is published here for preservation purposes and - using the transformative power of AI technology, to add an immersive experience to the work of early pioneer filmmakers.

@@alexisty1497 Just to elaborate.. film sound really didn’t come into being until around 1927. And even then, the sound had to be recorded using very bulky recording disks (like large LP vinyl records, but in reverse). The sound and the pictures were initially synchronized in the theater until they came up with a way to convert audio into light waves and record that onto the film strip along with the corresponding pictures. I’m pretty sure if you search “film sound” or similar in Wikipedia you’ll get a long history explaining the technical developments. Enjoy!

Berlin was a liberal, sophisticated, enlightened city. It was a tough place for Nazis. As in most of Europe the cities like Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, and Paris were tough audiences for the fascists. The hick towns were easy pickings. Note the distinction in America with the less dangerous Donald Trump. Weimar Germany almost survived.

@jefftracy3771 2 жыл бұрын

@@paulbrower4265 Completely untrue. All totalitarian ideologies have begun in city centers where tyrants can gather and infect the minds of people en masse. All totalitarian ideologies rely on large centralized government for their existence. People in urban locales rely heavily on government more than rural areas (where people tend to be self-reliant), therefore city people are far more likely to brainwash to let totalitarianism take hold within their country, under the guise of giving the government more power to "help people," "fix things," and "take control of things." It has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative regions. It has everything to do with how much does a person want the government to run all aspects of their life? Germans who are already an orderly people went through a rough time during the Weimar Republic and were ripe for giving all the power to a centralized and malicious government.

@@jefftracy3771 Socialist demagogues get their start in the giant cities. Fascists typically appeal to tycoons and rural magnates who see their world under challenge. The closest political leader in American history to a fascist demagogue, Donald Trump, has done far better in winning support in rural areas than in the big cities. We all saw how the vote went in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Trump was ahead in Georgia until the vote counts started to come exclusively from Atlanta, Michigan until the votes started to be counted from Detroit, in Pennsylvania until the votes started to come in almost exclusively from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh , and in Wisconsin until the vote started to be counted almost entirely in Madison and Milwaukee. Trump isn't Hitler, although he started showing some despotic traits. But just look at a map of the distribution of votes for President in 2020 and you will see that Dallas and Detroit both vote much more like each other than they vote like rural areas in their states. ...Hitler did best earliest in the most rural parts of Germany, the places less cosmopolitan.

@@lc3920 It was a response to the horrors of World War 1. Many women worked during the war and wanted freedom afterwards. Many lost faith in God, and the prudity that came with the church. They wanted to be free of the shackles. This happened the world over but more so in Germany. Germany had openly gay bars, porn, graphic nudity in films etc. The Treaty of Versailles bankrupted them after WW1 but they were recovering well until the 1929 Wall St crash which affected the whole world. In Germany it was really severe and it was a perfect time of despair for Hitler to rise up. Many historians believe that, but for the crash of '29 and the Depression, Hitler wouldn't have happened.

@jrus690 3 жыл бұрын

This might have largely happened due to the hyperinflation of the early 1920's, which resulted in lots of experimental clothing and behavior. What was considered out of place even by today's standards became normal, it involved both mother's and their daughters. Currency was worthless so people had to creative in other ways, it produced the most progressive period in modern history, even the nudity of today would seem conservative. Then came 1932 and the Nazi's, who hated everything about it, and clamped down real hard. However given what Adolf offered it is no surprise that Germany settled for a return to what they considered normal, Absolute rule.

@@Humanophage Rightly so, why should it be acceptable to wear overly casual clothes. What's next, will people be going to work in their night wear twenty years from now.
