I love how he'd never make a home movie again, as if he'd accidentally tape the next president getting shot in the background of his grandson's first steps.
@@jamestown8398 I'd up the ante and say it certainly was trauma. He thought he'd film the prez a few seconds, got his life FUBAR. @TomARowly is thinking he's funny by not understanding it.
To put it in context, the $125000 Zapruder got for the film is just about shy of $1.3 million adjusted for inflation, and that's not even considering the royalties he and his family got for the commercial use of the tape.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to be so invested in the life story of Zapruder. I’m glad when I go down rabbit holes like this and that there are people like you willing to open them up.
Zapruder wanting to make a home movie only for it capture a presidential assassination and the events snowballing from here on in feels like a Twilight Zone episode
I love all those little details like the guys eating chili from a vending machine. Stuff like that makes these stories come to life more than just plain facts.
A new game is coming out in this style of video, it’s called Hollywood animal if you like the art style you should check out the mini movies that they have made for promotion.
although the chili bit scared the shit out of me because i was worried it was gonna get on the film somehow, and i didn't think just some random tidbit would be included if it had no significance.
The most disgusting part about everything was the media frenzy surrounding the tapes. Conspiracy theories are always going to pop up but the vulturistic attitude of the press tormentnig Zapruder and his family on what was an especially traumatic day for him was so gross.
A bit pedantic, but as a film photographer, I must correct it. Not tapes, films. Recordings would even work. Video tapes came decades later, and this instance was certainly recorded onto film, not tape.
such is the case with most press from the time - the guys from the Post who broke Watergate were extremely underhanded and disrespectful, but they had heavy influence on their biography film to fluff it up and cover themselves.
the average JAMES on TH-cam could really start doing that, I could probably give them a SOMER-y because there's a TON of info there read the capital letters
Poor guy. The amount of stress he endured in capturing the tragedy would have made any man collapse from it all. I'm glad he had enough composure and trust to portray the event with as much dignity as possible, despite the vultures who would sell it for a quick buck.
I wish such a disaster would befall me. Being afflicted involuntarily with all that money? I like to think I could handle that burden. Abe found a way though all the trauma to somehow make the deal and let the cash come into his possession. Many would have sold it for a symbolic dollar, but what would that say about the tragic gravity of the films subject? No, Mr. Z was morally obliged to take at least six figures.
I dig the Casablanca reference- one of the best lines in the whole flick- "Your winnings, Sir-" "Oh, thank you.." Claude Rains plays that character as SUCH a charming, sarcastic weasel- it's GREAT.
Amazing, thoughtful, well put together video. I would change the thumbnail and title for more engagement though. "The man who recorded JFK's death"? Not sure, I'm not an expert in TH-cam engagement.
"Mr. President, they can't make you believe now that there are not some in Dallas who love and appreciate you, can they?" - Nellie Connally, wife of governor of Texas John B. Connally. "No, they certainly can't." - John F. Kennedy; his last words.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Honestly wasn’t very sure if this was a topic I cared about. But having started you did a really great job of pulling the audience into one of those 2nd or 3rd tier levels of importance. Very nicely done.
This guy always cooks. Crazy to see only 10k in 4h on Friday for a 430k channel in 2024, but it was the norm in the 2010s for channels that bring something unique without trying to aim for hype
money talks , everything else walks . the Ohtani home run ball episode had the same vibes - that historic ball had a price tag on it the second it touched a human hand .
It’s always crazy to me how many people have watched the Zapruder film by now. I got shown it in class. There’s a good chunk of American citizens who have that permanently seared into their brains.
This was gripping and fascinating. Poor Zapruder, he had such a tragic life and this probably didn't make things better for him. Really well told and edited, this channel is a goldmine
Very well done, sir. I learned a lot. I was especially intrigued by the part about how he felt parked in his driveway with pain in his eyes and ringing in his ears and then the first of his reoccurring nightmares. I also was moved by the Z families ordeal in Russia and the two year journey to the US and then Mr Zs experiences and feelings for his newly found country. Thanks for posting this video 💙💙🌊🌊🏄♀️🏄♂️
6:50 Wow, such polonophobia needed to be manifested there? His brother's only crime was to be a Russian Jew, for shure... Poland being at war with Bolshevik's Soviet Russia at 1920 has completly nothing to do with it - he could not possibly be a communist associate - he was just mercilessly shot dead by cruel, heartless Poles... And all that ordeal it is very important to the story of JFK's assasination footage, one shall say crucial even... 😒
@Alextz_Gr ah, that's what the Government wants you to think, in reality it was orchestrated by the people of Atlantis to destroy the bases of democracy to prepare for an invasion but stopped because a Greenland fisherman nearly saw them.
Hey man, great video! 🔥 Just a suggestion, I think the thumbnail and tittle are too vague that people aren’t clicking on it. I didn’t even notice it was you who uploaded until I saw it a few times on my homepage. This is exactly what I’d watch on TH-cam if the thumbnail and title were more obvious on what it was. Something like Zapduder - The man behind the JFK assassination video or smtg would appeal more. And the thumbnail, I think most people are too young to know what that is. I’d prob swap it for something more recognisable. Just my opinion as someone who didn’t click on it despite seeing it multiple times and being subscribed for a long time.
Kowel is 50 000 dead. Verdun is 300 k dead. Somme is 370 k dead. Chemin des dames is 350 k dead. Kowel is not even close from being "one of the most deadly battle in WW1".
@@dbass4973 no the civil war, if you knew your history you'd know that in the aftermath of the American Civil war former confederate states murdered reconstruction politicians in the streets

I can never understand why video editors don't at least label the amount in real terms whenever talking about a specific $$$ amount at a specific time
commercial use? im sure it wasnt used for advertising but funny to imagine
@@cowmann3555I'm sure the uses of the footage in almost every JFK documentary were royalty free.
It was used in movies and countless documentaries so yeah
Poor guy. So glad nothing this profitable ever happened to me.
To be fair, "he's dead, I saw his head explode" offered in a calm, even tone, is the most Slavic response possible.
Lol
I can imagine Niko Bellic saying that.

Standard journalist behavior.
Interesting to think that nowadays there would be dozens of HD recordings from all angles which would be instantly across the internet.
Yeah, then we'd be able to confirm if after being struck the target actually moved back and to the left.

Wow, was that a SOURCE at the end of the video? A great thing that more historians of the internet should do.
plenty use sources as a sheild to cover for their unsourced claims too
history based entertainers aren't historians
A lot of people do it

Abraham Zapruder comes across as shrewd but sympathetic.
I hope he managed to escape the frenzy and enjoy the rest of his life.
Christ this is an incredible retelling of the story, you should be immensely proud.
Amazing, thoughtful, well put together video. I would change the thumbnail and title for more engagement though. "The man who recorded JFK's death"? Not sure, I'm not an expert in TH-cam engagement.

I love how all different people in the car collectively kicked out the annoying reporter.
For a while, I have been seeking videos to talk about neglected aspects of popular topics
Thanks for making this one
They had a vending machine with… chili beans? That’s interesting I guess…
Between 1880-1970s. There was vending machines for everything.
This guy always cooks. Crazy to see only 10k in 4h on Friday for a 430k channel in 2024, but it was the norm in the 2010s for channels that bring something unique without trying to aim for hype
This really shows how this tragedy impacted ordinary people caught in the crossfire
Okay I would´ve NEVER guessed that voice at 22:24 is Ordinary Things
And the Joker’s laugh at 22:45.
im glad i clicked on this video! i was close to avoiding it because i never heard of this story before
You don't hate journalists enough, you think you do, but you don't
Now what about the stories of the 20 other people in line at kodak?
I heard a story about missiles turning into whales and petunias.
What about that?
It's particularly nauseating that the first thoughts on the film are it's financial potential, rather than the evidence that it contained.

It's probably a subtle warning from the see-eye-aye not to cross their line.
You are such a compelling storyteller. The way you assemble the information and the momentum with which you deliver it are just spectacular.
This is amazing. The tiny details, the drawings, how you seem to have united the entirety of video essay youtube to collaborate. Chef's kiss

Jeez, 8 seconds? Like the bullet travel ti-
At mach 2 (average standard rifle round velocity) 8 seconds over a kilometer of bullet travel. Terrible setup, poorly done. Bad joke.

Just my opinion as someone who didn’t click on it despite seeing it multiple times and being subscribed for a long time.
I kept bypassing it, too, even though I'm also a subscriber. The title could be changed, but I think that camera should stay. Be well.
Yep all the unoriginal "funny" comments are here!
It's been a while and I'm glad you're still posting a new video.
Great format britmonkey. You certainly stepped out of your channel usual content, and I'm all here for it. It was a very pleasant watch
Excellent.........as always, Mr BritMonkey. Thanks.
I wonder who leaked frames 313-316 then.
Kowel is 50 000 dead. Verdun is 300 k dead. Somme is 370 k dead. Chemin des dames is 350 k dead.
Kowel is not even close from being "one of the most deadly battle in WW1".
So sad this is going to be Britmonkeys last video :(
Why?
it is?
It's a joke about CIA assassinations. You see it all the time under videos relating to the assassination.
Zapruder's life story is very inspiring. Truly embodying the "American Dream"
Loved it. Just came to my room after a family lunch and this is the best for pre-nap time!
Your channel is top tier brother.
10:10 "...how this wasn't supposed to have happened in America."
