James, 1936 Labour are the reason you only work 8 hours instead of 14. They're the reason housing was increased after WWII. They're the reason you have free healthcare paid through others and your own collective taxes. They're the reason you get subsidies from WINZ if you become unemployed. That IS Socialist policy. This old trope of "Socialism bad, Capitalism good" is a fallacy. The reason we HAVE an economic divide so large now is because Capitalists would rather prioritize profit over employee pay rises, or take cheap workers from other countries instead.
@@gsd4me00 you mean we are not already there? I'm 55,born/bred kiwi,grew up in the seventies.And whilst people reminesce about the "good ol' days,it really was a better place back then. Sad to see what NZ has become.
The problem is with these great places is people want to go there for what it is but as soon as they arrive they want to change it to the place they just came from.
@Gary Lewis thats part of being a migrant you leave home, and make home away from home. Kiwi's have to be quick and adapt and move with the times, be innovative. The internationals I have personally spoken to when I used to live in Nz, and ones I met abroad. Their common views is Nz is behind the times and slow. They will walk over Kiwi's to get ahead. In their home country it's competitive they fight to get ahead and it's the norm for them (particularly Asian, India etc..) And you can bet when they reach Nz they won't change. And it gets a little worse when they are successful in their career and they have a mortgage on their first house, they'll compare themselves with Kiwi's this is what I've achieved in this amount of time and your still renting? I think you get the picture.
Not to mention failing school system, immigrants, separatism in Nz, radical leftism, cost of living, globalist takeover, loss of moral virtue and many societal issues.
I was so excited to watch this made nearly 60 yrs ago in the year I was born. Then I started reading the comments. What a bunch of complainers. Yes the sound is not great, yes the quality is not great, It was made nearly 60 yrs ago. Also New Zealand is still beautiful. People come to visit from all over the world and marvel at the beauty and the friendliness of the people. It seems not many of those people are commenting here.
‘People come to visit from all over the world and marvel at the beauty and the friendliness of the people’ . . . i), The problem is that too many of these visitors were allowed to migrate permanently, thus irrevocably changing the culture and character of the nation, ii), New Zealanders haven’t been particularly ‘friendly’ in decades, and iii), what the hell mind-altering euphoria-inducing substance are you on anyway, datura?? 🙄
@@jeremy_sr Sadly, the council back in the 80s quietly had all the geotech maps made by DSIR changed because "it won't happen in our lifetime" thus allowing houses to be built in places no house should have been built. Being the first house built in our street, the builder picked the highest point on a solid base. We watched houses around us literally sinking into the ground, while our home never even got the dreaded liquefaction. The guy that built the house either had a few clues or just picked lucky!
ikr, I was born in 1976 and I remember back in the 1980s and 1990s, social media didn't exist and I spent most of my time riding my bike, hanging out with friends, reading books and mostly doing things outdoors. But now social media has ruined this generation
What a difference in the ice-line on glaciers. Then the sand on the coasts... I hope we are/will be stepping in soon enough to reclaim what we can. Giving our best water away so I actively encourage anyone who cares to make sure our SAND IS NOT FOR SALE OR SWIPE!
@@danieleyre8913 yes it has? look at demographics of New Zealand in the 60s and early seventies, probably like 95% of the population was pakeha or Maori. our demographics have changed significanntly how do you not know about this?
As I went to the Michael Savage reserve today I. Auckland first time ever I just finished watching archive new Zealand in history what an achievement thanks to my sister Jacqui for taking me honesty worth a visit
I was 1 year old then😂 I can only remember back to 66 when I started kindergarten In lower Hutt. The 60's are such a bygone era, my mother who is still with us and from England said NZ was behind the times fashion wise back then😊
2020 ain't as beautiful as it was back than. I live in Auckland City & when I look out my door all I see is over crowded building's from the 18th floor
Very sad that there’s folks can’t see beauty in Auckland and the rest of NZ. Do I live in a parallel universe? I see beauty in Auckland and surrounding area every day.
Thank you for giving me a tour of my homeland as it was when I was a teenager. Sadly it was films like this that brought several more million people to live and tourists in all our old peaceful places. 40 years ago we moved from city life to a quiet peaceful place in the country. Close to the sea yet close to a mountain with a lovely little lake nestled near the top surrounded by beautiful Bush. Tourists don’t know where we exist. 😂
@@chesca7295 I wasn’t speaking on behalf of New Zealanders. That was just my personal opinion. I was lucky to be born 80 years ago. It was all gravel roads back then . When you drove past a farm the farmer would stop work and wave, they saw so few people. You could drink the water in Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown. Today on the news it has a mass of green slime in it. Still being examined. You actually don’t know what you are talking about.
@@chesca7295 no-one needed or wanted them. that's politician's doing, not ordinary people. tourist includes all the work visa student visa morons that don't speak English or follow the rules.
2 years on. We're now at 1.4 ° change. Re sand, where do you think oil rich countries get their new ISLANDS from? What is cement made from? Where are all species on this planet from? 4:17
I was 13 when this was made. One thing that doesn't come through is the sense of optimism and strong purpose that was running through society then. To be a young woman in the 1960's was to feel the best in the world ! There were careers and jobs for the choosing, and you could go to work or college on a scooter!! Fashion, music, relationships, even having your own Post Office savings account with your own name on it... wonderful and empowering for most. I wish that I knew then what I know now ....
Although the material wealth was definitely worse people had more meaning thus less anxiety and depression, they had a structure, they had a nation to serve too and create for, they had a community to serve, they had a future idea of a family with multiple kids to give them an ideal
The narrative is so shallow....its pathetic given what its showing..its like a silly picture show..if only we new what we have and stood strong to protect it😕
These golden years, where freedom was real, sadly the later generations on from the 90s have spoiled this way of life. The take away experiences from living through this period is, The new ways aren't necessarily the best ways .
Did they say “across the ditch” back then? So weird that saying because there ain’t no ‘ditch’ between Australia and New Zealand folks, it’s a big ocean!!!!!!
@@sandhopper599 only to certain ignorant people, named Taranaki hundreds of years before this pommie claim. How would you feel if some foreign people invaded your house and renamed your house, area, street, or even you!!! Which name would you go by?
stolen land lol you probably don't even know where half these places are how the fuck would you know the ins and outs of the land transfers in that particular area? absolute melt.
Are you? I wouldn't broadcast the fact too loudly mate. Or did you mean the movie is "racist", by which you mean something else using Socialist misappropriation of terminology? Like expressing anti-colonial sentiments?
