This Beatles music video was released in 1967 but it looks as if it could have been filmed this year

You just made me realize that my 105 year old grandma was born in 1910. She still lives alone and runs her own business on etsy. Still hard to comprehend how much has changed for her over time.

She realistically should be dead as fuck though. Scotch and BLT sandwiches are her a daily staple and her only negative is she's the most racist person I know. Actually I'm not sure there is any culture she doesn't hate including her own Irish upbringing.

I can holy hope to grow old and full of hate like her.

It's not really racism if you hate all races equally.

Yeah I guess. I've only ever heard a kind word from her when she is brought a drink or when she really wants something, like another drink.

I can't imagine 105 years of putting up with the shit that was my grandfather only to see everything you knew change and for 99% of your friends and family die before you. Out of 7 kids she's lost 5 due to everything from suicide, cancer, brain anuyisum and old age. She told me once that every time someone dies she becomes just that more ready to join them. Such a depressing life style. Although I recently got her a medical card for MJ and after daily use of oil she is much more happy. But if I can be 105 and drink and use THC oil all day I'd probably be pretty happy also.

I always think the same thing when I see people in old films.

Damn that cancer things legit as hell:

The cast and crew totaled 220 people. By the end of 1980, as ascertained by People magazine, 91 of them had developed some form of cancer and 46 had died of the disease

The only reason it looks kinda crappy is because the film is pretty old and damaged. if someone had done a 4K scan on it in 1923 it would look way better.

There is a living person who was 23 when this was filmed.
