Parade in New York

★★★ · Everyone loves a parade · Spuzz · 2005-06-02

Curious little amateur film that features a big grand parade, has to deal with the war, not too sure if the war was over or not (signs point to it indeed being over), and they something like a 'Troops Of Many Nations' thing happening. It's sort of fun, though it really tends to drag after awhile. The unique thing about this, is that this looks to be have shot with a brownie or a wind up film camera, as we only see 9-10 seconds of footage at most at one time before it fades out. Really unique for a little while, but then that also gets a little boring.

From what I observed of this film, this is the New York Memorial Day parade of 1945. Obviously a large portion of this film is in reverse, and the editing is bad, but it is still historically interesting to watch.

First off, this is silent not sound. Secondly for the most part it somehow was run backwards (not that the film is running backwards, but rather the film was turned the wrong way when projected). As if this were not annoying enough, the fade in-outs are enough to make one dizzy. Then there is of course the unanswered question: When was this? From the looks of it, this could have been either just after the start of WW-II, during the height of WW-II or toward the end of WW-II possibly after V-E Day. There are lots of shots of various army vehicles and watching a marching band without sound is…
