Real Old-Time New Yorkers Can Scream And Still Love Each Other When It Is Over

  • This is a real documentary that I filmed in 1965 at a Union meeting regarding garbage truck drivers salaries. Some of my CZcams commentators have thought it was a theatrical made with actors. But I was the director and the cameraman and I can assure you that this meeting took place for real. I asked these New York AFL CIO union guys involved with garbage collection in New York City to have a real meeting as though I wasn't there and to behave in the way that they normally do when they are negotiating. That is what they did. I was the director & the sole cameraman and I made in support of the local New York union. This shows a scene from an AFL-CIO “negotiation” with NY city officials regarding whether union drivers were needed on garbage trucks. Though their language was rough, at the end of the meeting, they got something done and indeed the issues they were debating were negotiated. Some of my subscribers have asked about their ethnicities. Most were Irish and Italian with a few New York City Jews.

With that being said, please don't end up a smear on the road, just ride in a lane, asshole. Look up professional then learn the difference between actual formality and what you're seeing in this video. The guy insulted his sense of professionalism BECAUSE he was a truck driver, somehow you manage to parrot this thinking over 50 years later, embarrassing. If the guy wasn't a professional, he wouldn't be heading union meetings for other truck drivers, fuck him for not being a "professional" though, right? Long story short, professional is not a subjective term, please don't speak like it is. If people want to call themselves professionals WHILE THEY'RE BEING PAID TO, leave them be. Like the first reply said, everyone who garners pay is a professional. An NFL player is as much of a professional as a lawyer or doctor is.

Because of all these forms we have now of art and storytelling -- video games, Hollywood & Indie films, books, music, etc... -- and our ability to share it and have access to all these things because of the internet, publishers, stores, theatres, or whatever, from around the world set all around the world -- LA, NYC, Paris, Seoul, Buenos Aires, South Africa, Tokyo, Alaska, etc... showing all these walks of lifes and trends/morals -- it behaves as a new way to nurture people, teach them about life, how to behave, what they've learnt, and overall very strongly and memetically affect our development. Then in turn, we naturally imitate it to some degree.
      For me, movies and video games really had a big impact on my upbringing. I'd say that it taught me more about life and the world than school did, wheras school teaches the academic basics. GTA 4 showed me a satirical display of New York, and introduced me to all these nuances in these concepts of crime, immigration, the FBI, whatever. The movie Tangerine introduced me to the streets of Los Angeles, transgenders, prostitution, the tenacity of friendship, American poverty, etc... The video game Firewatch taught me about Alzheimers, human relationships, dilemmas, Wyoming, Firewatching, etc... The music video Devil Like Me taught me about alcoholism, drunk driving, regret, self-hatred, suicide, North Carolina, etc... The movie Leviathan taught me about northern Russia/Murmansk Oblast, corruption in modern Russia through government and religion, the bleak lifestyles, and family culture there.

      No one knows what they're talking about? The fat guy is arguing that they are being paid to little in comparison to the cities guys. The fat guy in the glasses is representing the city, the fat loud guy is the union. The loud guy is making points that the sanitation guys are being paid to sit around, 3 guys to a truck, things like that. The union wants more money cause they're more professional and efficient. I understand that nuance is lost a lot through generations. Not just the words spell things out, but gestures, emotions, body language.

    It’s so surreal to see a slice of unscripted, uncut, real-world society from the 60’s being preserved in such a clear and fluid way.

      I'm in tree service. It makes more sense actually. You're in trees hundreds of feet high in a rope and harness with wood cleats. You use a chainsaw to carefully cut entire limbs off and have the drop in specific places or lower them down by rope. There are different types of cuts that could be done for the same tree short of cutting down and entire tree which happens least of all.

    David is my favorite documentary filmmaker of all time. No one captures moments of REAL TIME that shows the unbiased narrative of our country at various points in history. I mean NOBODY is as fearless and trustworthy as he is in the topics and views he chooses to share with others through his medium, film. An unsung national treasure that deserves much more acclaim in my humble opinion. ❤

      @comedycrackers Don, Elle, Kristen and Joelle. This is the guy I am always referencing when I said go study so his videos for accents. He capsules time. and how people actually spoke back then not how accent coaches teach you to speak like them now, but you can just observe the various regions and ethnicities and Nationalities and culture of these individuals straight from the horses mouth so to speak. I study this guy’s work like the holy grail so I just wanted to introduce you to his channel and website.
      Hope it gives reference point that you can bookmark and just swing back to before performance so you could have the voice in your mind fresh. It’s one of my trade secrets, just wanted to share. You are some of the most brilliant minds I know when it comes to character acting. Let me know if this helps you come up with any new characters .
