At 4:36, It looks like those two guys are dancing at gunpoint, why else would someone be dancing on the ledge of a skyscraper? HahaGreat video!

I really wonder if the Black Bottom dance came from observing 2 black children stuck in the mud and wiggling around trying to movie in it. Sure makes a good story though for the origin of this very popular 1920's dance. Thanks for sharing this instructive video.

Movies then were shown at a normal speed, but since projectors were different then, when old films are played on modern projectors they often run too fast. If you were watching this in the 20s, things would be at a normal speed.

Damnit I'm with Louis C.K, don't say the N word say nigger. Don't be a faggot and not have the balls to say it but make me say it in my head. And I swear to christ, it's somewhat off topic to the comments I'm commenting on but if your for reperations suck my dick hole. btw that little kid at 5:56 is an O.G. mutha -shut yo mouth-.

I don't know much about filming but I'm assuming that it has something to do with the amount of frames they could record per second. Since the technology was no were near todays standard they could not capture the frams in a "natural" flow like our eyes see, so a smaller frame count skiped slightly so it appears to have rugged speeded movements. kind of like when a game lags it "skips" a bit a appears warp speed up the nuts.
