71' in, & enjoying it [surprisingly well refurbished film quality, btw, prolly much less grainy than on the 70s tv]. it's such a very fascinating time capsule, & it certainly pays to keep one's eyes wandering about the various scenes to glean so much of ordinary strayan late 60s early 70s life. right now for instance, a [possibly] single mum holding bub, standing in her 60s kitchen discussing contraception, & i'm as fascinated by the kitchen decor as of the words... so very familiar from my childhood. so pleased i finally found it again!

droppie, & the quest for the wholly bunyip

male homosexuality is more common than female homosexuality

@MsDropbear42 I recently stumbled on a tv programme from my childhood (later 70ies/early 80ies) and seeing the clothes, the cars, the colours, the way people talked, the music (!) and oh *shock* people smoking, it all was a dr whoish time travel experience for me. I could even smell and hear how it was like back then.
I had the urge to taste things like that one caramel icecream not being produced anymore. Weird. It all came back.

It was funny, I always thought I remember a lot of that time but it seems I have more recallable memories from later when being a teenager.

@Tionisla lovely!

it really can be quite discombobulating having these flashbacks, but also pleasant [hopefully]

ofc, the bad news is that it's not young peeps who have these reminisces, but... oldies

[tionisla@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@MsDropbear42 Is the film you mentioned something similar to what they also had in the early 70ies ( when I was still so young I believed in Tomten/Santa Claus, the birds and the bees and storks bringing the little babies) over here?
It was from today's point of view some pseudo cheesily comical sex ed flick, focussing into showing off nudes thinly veiled with also some educational messages?

98'

john button discussing "homosexuals"...

@Tionisla it's not quite like that. it has some elements of satire, albeit they seem to have mostly stayed in the initial 20' or so, but the majority so far has been earnest documentary style, comprising street vox pops, & interview excerpts with various "experts". whilst i am certain it would have inflamed many 60s/70s wowsers, i judge it so far as not having cheap titillation as its purpose, but an actual doco on social mores & practices & situations of & emerging back then. in some ways it could have been a michael apted like piece ... social exploration & documentation oriented, not prurience.

Ah, ok. that sounds interesting. I recently watched a (serious) documentary from back then about a infamous German woman who pioneered a shop of soc "ladies hygiene articles" and also openly handed out contraceptives. (And who later also pioneered in selling adult stuff).
It also sported vox populi, interviews of experts (pro and contra) and activists from back then. That was a window into the past,too. To think it is just about my lifetime ago is weird.

On contrast I also stumbled upon a docu in the same style about the house occupations scene in Hamburg in the 70ies, where some local german artists had their early roots. I remembered from my childhood just the news about police and occupants fighting at the barricades scenes.

Will be intesting how generations to come will see today's life.

ah. i thought they might get around to this. 1:44'... Les Girls.

excellent interviews --- this was genuinely groundbreaking back then, showing the great unwashed that we're not monsters
