Paris, 100 Years Ago

The daily life of Parisians nearly 100 years ago in a city that looks almost exactly the same as today. All of these people you see died a long time ago, yet they're here, so alive, so close to us, sipping a cold drink through a straw, taking a cab with a date, talking politics or gossiping with a friend at a café, smiling at the camera, relaxing on a Sunday in a park. No cell phones here, but they're carrying mostly the same thoughts we have today, some looking shy, or happy, or unhappy, or in love, or introverted or preoccupied. How different were these people's lives? Or more interestingly, how similar were they? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blw8zJt-Sc0
