- In the 1850s, Melbourne was the fastest growing city in the world. “They dreamt big, they built big….it was a city jumping out of its skin”. It became an epicentre of film culture and its hotels, restaurants and cafes became world renowned. However, the attempted ‘modernisation’ of Melbourne in the 1950s destroyed much of the city, including its elegant cinemas and picture palaces. Our buildings were deemed too Victorian, the opposite of a modern metropolis, and Whelan The Wrecker’s demolition blitz began. Featuring rare archival film & photography, this film is a revelatory work that allows its audience to reimagine the former glory of the lost city of Melbourne.

20 years later, Joh had the Deen brothers demolish heritage buildings in Brisbane in the dead of night so that his developer buddies could throw up hotels and office buildings that remained a blight on the skyline for decades. The greed in this country is gob smacking.
Yes. I remember the Bellevue,Cloudland,others ? The were still demolishing places in the 2000's, next generation, probably still are. Doing dirty work. What a seedy lot, all of them
Great old buildings would still be standing strong today. You have too question why because it doesn't sound right to destroy history.
It's not just Melbourne. This happened all over Australia. Look up Tartarian Truthers - The Garden Palace in Sydney.
That place burnt down
Bruh not the conspiracy theories
@@kievanvg1295If you actually would take the time to look into it you will very soon realise that it's not just a conspiracy theory.
you're mad woman
@@mengguguo 😂😂😂
Made me physically sick to see those beautiful buildings being knocked down. Shameful thing.
Great doco...highly recommend. i told all my friends to go.
There would be a lot fewer of our old buildings left in Melbourne today if not for Norm Gallagher and the BLF.
City Developers: ''Oh... is that a beautiful old building? Yes...? Destroy it. Destroy it for no other reason other than it is ''old''
I watched this full episode..they left out the The Progress Cinema in Coburg! It was in a side street for us residents
thankfully because they had so much to start with, even with the knocking down there is still an amazing amount left.
Melbourne is like a metaphor of the ship of Theseus.
can you use more easy words please i only been to public school
@@MrProzacmilkshakejust type it in on google. one could say that about any city though and I don’t particularly think narrm is an exceptional example of it.
it's a physical city not a metaphor
What is a meta for?
You could even pay to see new at Paramount old silver screens. Escapism & a more peaceful society is lost!
Melbornians wish Sydney on top!
W unite. Cos that's where it's going..
Why stop at the 1960's? I'm sure there's a sequel ready made for production if you include what's happened up until the 2020's. Suggested title "Welcome to Hellbourne - A Neoliberal Experiment that Went Horribly Wrong"
Bolte destroyed Collins st….
They built it! Hahaha
To be fair, we are probably doing it again with our 1960s and 1970s buids. I have to admit they are bloody ugly - but who knows, maybe in 30 years they may have some architectural value
No beauty in the city these days. The design language of austerity brings us closer to the truth that these are elaborate open air prisons. Sterile white led streets strewn with careless snack refuse and nightly chunder. Ready for the hose down and roll call to do it all again. Ding Ding
........and now it's a certified shithole. Thanks Casino and thanks Dan Andrews.
Southbank was an industrial no man's land with factories and the casino opened it up.If u don't like our city then leave.😡
Southbank was indeed a dump before the casino. But unfortunately Southbank and the casino (along with the rest of the city) are again a dump thanks to mismanagement, neglect and poor laws.
What did Dan Andrews have to do with this? Damn you cookers are ridiculous.
Tartaria much? All built with horse and cart.
Now it's just a socialist sewer.
oh noes they knocked down the gender segregation dining rooms how will misogyny ever recover
destroy historical landmarks, a bad thing may have happened there once hundreds of years ago!!
GOLD was the source and the reason for all this AMAZING STUFF in Melbourne.
I have visited Melbourne many, many times. Never seen any of it. Now I know why.
SYDNEY IS WORSE. We Sydneysiders have almost nothing remaining...
