@@Vishalp-o3f I mean yeah I get what u saying but still it was upscaled and the ppl that record these alien ships wouldn’t expect it so it’s be their phone
Haha, nah man, it’s still aliens. The video is “colored” and digitally remastered. It’d still look crisp and clear before, but more original with frames. I got my collection of video evidence from the “CGI” reign of the 2000’s and 2010’s. Now people think they can’t figure out real things because of “AI” or more like procedurally generated illusions. There were great videos available and ponder the unknown. Basically, if you waited for the government’s to show their hand and actually mind blowingly talk about aliens after corona (2020 new normal), then they got you coaxed and caught off guard. It’s intentional disclosure to manipulate the truths and they really waited all these years since the 1950’s, for our generation to suffer and and forget their denial all these years, just to play dumb. I started looking into UFO videos around 13, 2015 and there were so many untainted searches on google to find unique ones. You could almost tell completely which were CGI and ones that moved similar and looked real. Slowly, it was just a matter of seeing enough real videos to pick up on how they move and usually act, per species and craft type. Tic tac is brainwash labeling, they’re just one specie’s type of (peaceful) drones. It’s deep and have gone a far ways from the questions in the beginning to start making connections. So much out there, but no one to tell you it’s right or some science cult narrative holding you back from reality shifts. I don’t know, I’ve just looked into a lot of things that tell a different story before all this forced vaccine narrative and re-introduction of UFO paranoia
" "Duel au Pistolet (1896)". Gabriel Veyre was working as a pharmacist in a small village south of Lyon when motion pictures first debuted in France. Seeing an opportunity for travel (and a pay raise), Veyre got a job with the Lumière brothers as a cameraman. In the summer of 1896, he was dispatched to Mexico along with a partner, Claude Ferdinand Von Bernard. The two men were immediately embraced by both the country’s ruling elite and the general public. They not only gave regular showings of imported motion pictures, to widespread acclaim, but also recorded and showed the first films to be taken in Mexico. Several of these included films of the Mexican president, General Porfirio Díaz. The pair spent nearly six months in the country, and their activities were enthusiastically reported on by several newspapers. Their stay was, however, not entirely without controversy. In mid-December they visited Chapultepec Park and filmed a re-enactment of an actual duel. Veyre reportedly had the permission of authorities to film the scene. This may have been necessary, not because of the subject, but because the actors were playing two real-life political figures. Or it may simply have been because the filming took place near the presidential residence in Chapultepec Castle. However, despite the official approval, some journalists worried in print that the film would give a bad impression of the country to an international audience. .. Several sources claim that this was a re-enactment of a duel that had taken place the day before the filming, between two government officials, but give no additional details. This seems unlikely to be correct for several reasons. It was most probably a recreation of a famous duel that had taken place in September 1894, between Colonel Francisco Romero and Jose Verástegui, the postmaster general (see left). Romero, approaching the house of Juan Barajas, a mutual friend, for dinner, had supposedly overheard Verástegui inside, insulting him to Barajas’s wife, Natalia. He later sent Verástegui a letter, accusing him of carrying on an affair with Natalia, and of having gained a foothold with the family by using his influence to get Barajas a government job. .. However, in the end, the film apparently wasn’t shown publicly in Mexico. Veyre sent a print back to France, and traveled on to Cuba, and then to Venezuela, where he did show the film several months later. It had debuted in France early in 1897, under the title Mexique: un Duel au Pistolet. For what it’s worth, the inclusion of “Mexico” in the film’s title confirms that the Mexican journalists’ fears concerning the portrayal of their country were at least partially justified. .. The print that exists of this film is absolutely pristine, but it genuinely stands out in a few other ways. Many viewers have commented on the naturalism of the duelist’s death, one of the first to be depicted on screen and very much in contrast to the melodramatic style that was more typical of this time. The victim doesn’t throw up his hands, clutch his chest, or stagger or roll around in the agonies of death. He simply falls over, letting the pistol drop. It’s no wonder, then, that some viewers might have mistaken this for the real thing. ". Excerpts from a longer article. It’s funny to listen to people who write that this is AI, this short film could have been seen on TV in historical programs 20 years ago.
"Many viewers have commented on the naturalism of the duelist’s death, one of the first to be depicted on screen and very much in contrast to the melodramatic style that was more typical of this time." This is because the actor had probably seen death and knew how things are in reality, not fantasy. I was watching a WW2 video and the men shot and killed just fall, like a puppet with their strings cut. Its a bit eerie.
As a curious fact, in the country of Uruguay there was a duel law that existed between 1920 and 1992. If a person stained your honor you could challenge them to a duel, if they accepted. It was fixed where and when it was going to happen... what weapons could be used. ..and what rules had to be obeyed. It could also be established whether the duel was first blood or death. In other cases, this law allowed you to take justice into your own hands.
@@policjant_zmiami8564So? At least it's a gentleman's agreement. Unlike now with cowards using Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to harass people without fear of consequences.
@shaqirisquarepants8940 yes honor. You get offended by some random Joe having a bad day, challenge him, and he can accept or be ridiculed as a coward. He accepts and you kill him. His wife becomes a widow and his children fatherless. But you have your honor. What a man!
Galaos, one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, died in a duel at a very young age. He was a French mathematician whose contributions have a very big impact on modern mathematics. It is wondered by many how much more he would have contributed had he not died in that duel.
@@ChingoMandinguez Nope, you don't know what you are talking about. To make it more interesting, Galois was rejected as a student of mathematics at several universities. The evening before the duel in which he died he wrote down his theory, and sent it to some famous mathematicians. After an extended time one of them decided to take a look at Galois' letter, and after much study he figured out that what Galois did was revolutionary. It was a significant contribution to what is now known as group theory. He looked at the probable solutions of a 5th-degree polynomial as a group, and discovered that such solutions could not be expressed in terms of standard functions. This had been an open problem for many centuries.
well, the Patterson footage was the best, and I guess you're counting that as not in the last decades. incase you didn't know those guys got so close because they went upriver by boat, so their scent couldn't be tracked and was masked by the running waters, hence they surprised the Bigfoot and got that extremely rare footage.

@@bobbyd6680 strange, I don't remember seeing everyone impulsively reach for their camera every 30 seconds, stare at their cameras when they drove, use their cameras to avoid reality in public settings, become ADDICTED to camera use, etc.
In this duel reenactment, I like how the 'winner' appears concerned and disturbed afterward. That's very good attention to detail. In real life, the majority of duel participants did NOT want to actually kill. When insulted or disrespected, a man felt immense social pressure to challenge the other person to a duel. They feared loss of respect and status if they did not challenge their opponent to a duel. People would think they are soft and mentally weak. So they felt social pressure to offer a duel challenge, despite NOT wanting to do it. And the person who received the challenge likewise did NOT want to accept the duel, but if they declined they would lose social status and respect from their community. People thinking they are cowards. So they felt like they were forced to accept the challenge, despite not wanting to do it. In most cases, neither man wanted to participate in the duel. Neither man wanted to actually maim or kill the other. So it's a nice attention to detail that the duel winner in this video acts concerned and a bit shocked to see the outcome of his actions.
@@craigroaringProblem is most people think of duels as a deadly affair when it is not the case, a gentleman can end up fighting dozens of duels in his life and never be maimed in any fashion. For example in the movie “The Duelist” which is based on a real rivalry, two French cavalry officers fought multiple duels over more than 15 years and were still unable to kill each other (and they wanted to) now imagine a duel where the two sides didn’t actually want to kill each other which is most often the case.
Don't think they used the term 'bro' in them days especially in France and its more likely he walked over to make sure he was dead more than anything 😂
@@kingofbleh Damn thats crazy, anyways I posted your moms picture, address, full name, type of vehicle, and work schedule on the internet. I sure hope she is not violated and murdered
I’ve done some research and its probably staged but its still an great representation how pistol duels were. I’m a history teacher to be and these were duels normally to settle arguments. In a lot of places these duels were accepted as a form of dealing with tensions. This was an popular way to deal with these in France, which is probably where the confusion comes from (including the style of clothing) In the majority of the time, duel winners weren’t punished as murderers because if the duel was fair, the matter had been solved privately. Although in some occasions (when the duel wasn’t fair) or some places this was still killing. Very interesting video!!
@@Akymma how so? I could find footage on TH-cam right now of real peoples bodies scattered across snowy Russia during ww2, so why would this not be allowed if it’s real?
Looked this up after reading Dostoevsky’s “Demons” which a pistol duel takes place (neither wanted to kill, so no one was killed, only grazed the one and the other was purposefully missing). I wanted a visual representation since it was so bewildering to me that two men could stand so close, miss and not shit their pants.
With a flintlock pistol, hitting at dueling range was more a question of luck than anything else, that is why they used those weapons. It was more about personally not appearing to be a coward than anything else.
I played this back at 1/4 speed and watched the first 3 seconds over and over. I noticed everyone else's body language. Everyone was planning on the guy closest to camera losing the gunfight. One guy even caught his head on the way down. No one was ready for the far guy to lose. I also noticed each guy turned their heads and closed their eyes when the officiate claps his hands. Aside from the awesome coloring job, there seems to be no contrast of blood stain on the loser, even if it were black and white. My guess is this is staged.
Well he is being shot at from about 15 feet away, so safe to say he is likely about to get shot and fall over. There are people on both sides ready to catch these guys.
If this is staged, it’s acted REALLY well. Everyone’s behavior seems very genuine… the way you’d expect people to behave after being involved in something like this.
I've spent countless hours watching and rewatching this video, researching the two men that met on that fateful day, and speaking with their descendents and I can say with full confidence that all men in this video, not just the duelists, are now dead and have been dead for a long time.
Your research…has been invaluable, with steadfast diligence the likes of which is rare enough seen. We each owe you, sir, a debt of heartfelt gratitude. Tis a mystery which will remain no more.
I would expect this dramatic reenactment of a duel being authentic considered it occurred during a time they were contemporaneous. Either way, for early cinema, it is masterfully directed and definitely deserves the love it is receiving over a century later.
I think it's staged. The guy who is "shot" shows no reaction to any impact, he just seems to swoon to the ground. Taking a lead ball from close range would surely have knocked him back a bit, or at least jolted him. As you say, it's still a masterful piece of very early film, and seems to be an accurate depiction of a fascinating historical custom.
I think it's a really stretch to say duels were still "rather common" in 1890s France. It was a practice that was very much fading out at that point, and had been so for like a century.
@@jaygee5693 That's not how it works usually people don't go flying backwards when shot like in movies, but I agree this is probably staged duels were rare in the 1890s and I doubt the people would want to stand that close if it was real.
@@redtra236Agreed, it would take an assault weapon or shotgun blast to send someone "flying backwards", but that wasn't my assertion. In my comment I noted that there was no reaction, not even a bit of a jolt. He would have at least flinched!
This duel was staged at Chapultepec castle in Mexico City, it is based in a duel between the two mexican congressman Francisco Romero and José Verástegui(loser).
Really ahead of its time, they were clearly aiming to make it look as real as possible which is crazy for the 1890's, good on them, giving a glimpse into how these duels truly were.
many people here say its probably staged, but I believe to see the impact of the bullet, its a small "dust cloud" slightly red, it could be the blood splashing. Also he standet sideways, the bullet would go straight to the hearth making him collapse instantly. The guys trying to help him go look exactly where the small red "dust cloud" appeared.. I think its probably real.
@@jtmills86 you not seen many people shot or have any medic background do you? If a shot goes rigth into the heart or brain, or massively destroys vital organs, the body instantly collaps and loosing concsiousness. If a body instantly collapse does not mean he is instantly dead. He may die but, it is a shock reaction of the body a person has no control of it anymore.
@trockenschwimmer either head shot or hydrostatic shock, legs don't stiffen up and they fall over. That's old time rendition of being shot. Legs go limp as a wet noodle and the collapse straight down.
@@jtmills86 not always necessary. If the brain or the heart gets a direct hit and are heavely damaged so that there is a lets say Instant death I agree. But as I seid if a vital organ is hit it may not cause instant death but is such a big impact that the body face an instant Stock, legs wont not go noodles usually. I've seen hits from an AR from a Distanzen of about 10 to 15 Yards right into the chest and the suspect dropped similar to this guy here. With stiff legs he fell over his back lost consciousness immediately and was dead one or two minutes later.
Pistol Duel - Based on a real event that occurred between two deputies, in Chapultepec Park 1896 The film was directed by Gabriel Veyre and is called 'Duel au pistolet'.
So this film is a reenactment? If so I must say the acting is absolutely phenomenal, for example one of the gentleman hesitating and going back for the medical supplies when directed to by the other man, that’s something that one would otherwise feel the need not to include if it were fake, because you’d already know who was going to go down in the first place and you’d already know what to do.

The fact that the cameraman would be standing behind someone about to shot at, by a guy who closes his eyes and turns away shortly before he fires his gun, should have been enough for anyone to say, "Ah bollocks, it's staged!"
@@sagn1962 to be honest I don't know much about film recording especiallyy not from that long ago, but I'm sure that they had tripods. (and clearly this is a staged scene)
@@michaeltoner1993Yeah they had tripods. Because cameras were bulky with physical film. But a person was needed to roll the film by hand. (I mean, electric motors were just recently invented)
Its the nature of film. Its working at a molecular lvl and no matter how good our technology u just cant physically produce a digital sensor at such a small scale. So the resolution is very high. Im always bummed when i get tv shows that filmed in a digital format back in the 90's because they look like crap even when upscaled whereas a show from the 50's can look phenomenal if the films been kept in good condition
@@GonzoDonzo Like any analog medium, noise limits the actual resolution. If film truly contained detail without limit to the molecular level then you would basically see no grain, regardless of how far you zoom in until you reach the scale of the photoreactive molecules. 8k digital resolution is adequate to supercede 35mm film, but you need to go a bit higher for 70mm. This is almost moot though because only a small minority of film was done in 70mm format.
In Bugis, Sulawesi, Indonesia, there still exists a cultural practice of settling disputes through fatal knife fights using "badik" or weapons until die. This tradition continues to persist until today as a means of resolving conflicts. It's called Sigajang Laleng Lipa
Dramatic recreation of a classic duel with single shot percussion pistols. If you notice, at the time of each participant's firearm discharge, they are both looking down and away from the line of fire. The very last thing anyone would consider when your life depends on expediency and accuracy.
Ahhh, that's an exaggeration to say the least. Black powder smoke can be a bit acrid but not a major problem if you happen to inhale or get a little in the eyes. If this duel was the real deal neither participant would risk their life looking away at the time of ignition.@@GojoGunning
I'm gonna disagree with you. You can see many less experienced or less trained people act like this; flinching, cowering away from perceived danger, not handling their weaponry very well in general. It wouldn't be unbelievable that they'd do it in a real duel, presuming that they're not habitual duelists. Just take a new guy to the range with a larger weapon, you're gonna see them do the same things, and they're not even at risk of injury or death.
It's honestly a shame that you aren't required some way to be knowledgeable in order to post a comment. Historical accounts say this was very common with people firing a flint lock firearm and is even represented in a movie (The Patriot) at one point. You basically have a puddle of gun powder near your face with nothing protecting your face or eyes from hot embers. So to protect themselves many people simply looked away when firing the weapon. @lw4268 I really encourage you to become a more knowledgeable person, rephrase your comments to include that your opinion is of uneducated opinion, or at the least do a quick research before putting up misinformation. Pitiful
I'm not saying it's real but it was indeed fairly common to not look down the sights when firing at your opponent. Aside from the fact that the sights of especially pistols at the time were near unusable and incredibly inaccurate. Many duels were used as a way of sort of settling things. Lots of times both parties would agree to a duel and fire their pistols blindly as to hopefully not shoot their opponent realizing that their lives were more important than the quarrel and ending it amicably. Being able to say that you dueled your opponent as to not appear a coward. That's also another reason these duels only used one shot, if the end goal was to simply go until a man was dead they'd just let them retry over and over until until a hit was made and one lie dead. Also I believe there have been cases where one party intentionally missed and the other chose not to respect this and hit regardless and also plenty of accidental hits came about from it.

@@mjt1517😂 1888 first movie. time is possible. the quality is far too good. Converting black and white to color is easy. the quality could have been improved by AI.
@@unrealversum7729this is film, film has very high image quality because it is essentially about 16-24 photographs per second, it is why all the very old film footage like this has higher quality than something recorded with an early digital camera
For those of you thinking this might be genuine, there are a few things which give it away as not genuine period footage: If you watch the guy who supposedly 'wins', he looks away before firing; as a result of him doing this, the barrel of his pistol drops significantly to the point where there is no way his shot would have aligned with a headshot impact, which on the footage is either a squib or is a post-process addition. Aside from this, there is no way seconds, doctors etc would be that close to duellists, nor anyone placed with the camera in that location either, since it is close to the line of fire. But, even if none of this were true, the big giveaway is that no camera dating from 1896 (which would have been hand-cranked at that time, and this footage is not hand-cranked) nor any film available in that period would have had the capacity to record imagery which depicts individual blades of grass, as can be seen on this footage. Film emulsion just wasn't good enough to do this back then, nor indeed for many decades after that date either. Have a look at some genuine footage from around 1900 and you'll see it is nowhere near this sharp and detailed, nor does it show the level of contrast we can see here either. You just don't get this level of detail on film from that period.
I think it is significant that both men look away before firing their pistols, likely to protect their faces from the powder blast, something I think a person is unlikely to do if their life depended on a well-aimed shot. Also there is zero recoil, which suggests it was just wadding without a bullet.
I doubt this is real as well but with regards to the resolution, the poster probably uses something like Topaz AI, which might account for the extra detail since the algorithm used literally adds detail.
Most assuredly staged to be used in some piece of film. And yes most likely in Mexico, the carriage drivers are wearing Sombreros. Film with sound came about in 1927. Also these pistols are percussion cap not flintlock. You can tell it is not real by 1. their stance is correct turning to their side to make a lesser sized target, but the man who fell his comrades are applying a cloth on the opposite side of his facing the opponent. 2. Even with dueling pistols there is a good kick to them, these showed none, just a great deal of smoke hence their reason for turning their heads away. If there had been a ball packed in the pressure would have created a recoil. Real duels they never turned their head away because these weapons were unreliable for accuracy. 3. They are not at the correct distance for a duel. (This was done to keep them in frame for the film) . 20 paces is 60 feet. 10 paces is 30 feet. These men were at around 15 feet. Also, since the smooth bore were unreliable the camera man is in the path of any traveling round. 4. If one had been hit ( it is not an unseen wound,) most caliber balls were from 30 to 56 caliber and it would have knocked the man off his feet....not just falling backwards and there would be an obvious blowing out of flesh. This is strictly for theatrics. The man on the far side his weapon is pointed downward as he looks away I used a scale to the screen and it would have hit the opponent around the lower extremity. The man closest his angle fired high over the opponents head In real duels no one acting as his second would stand that close because a person can be hit knocked off balance and fire his weapon into the observers. This was all done at too close of proximity to maintain the scene , this was all done in the frame. At the .03 mark you can see their pistols are just firing and no recoil and they are not aligned, one is too low the other too high. In the Black and White reversed version you can actually see the powder blow out paper wadding from the farthest shooter hitting towards the lower area (you would not see this if a ball had been in the barrel.)
They had percussion cap pistols in 1896 and for all we know they could be rifled, but I agree this is likely staged for film. Especially since unmanned cameras were not a thing then and I don't think anyone would want to be standing where that camera is at. Also the spectators wouldn't have been so close.
I've shot these type. .36 or .44 would be the most likely. .36 has very little recoil but as you say, there would be some muzzle flip. Absolutely disagree they were not accurate,an obturated round ball of soft lead from a .44 was intended to take a charging fully laden cavalry soldier off their horse at 70 yards. There is a plaque in Sidwell st Exeter to the last person to die by duel in England at Haldon racecourse, a doctor defending the honour of a lady. Around the same time.

I had 2 Sharps of London percussion caps that fired .36 and they do kick. I also had an actual Brown Bess used by a Mexican Soldier who had fought at the Battle of the Alamo, (Name and dates carved in stock) one of great uncles retrieved it at the Battle of San Jacinto along with his Spanish Colonial Fluted Powder Flask. I fired it only once and it knocked me on my butt! I believe it was a .75 and at that time I was just a late teenager. It is on Semi- Perm Loan to the NRA Museum in Virginia. You have to remember that flintlocks used more grain powder for a larger bore than percussion caps and they were making them in smaller and smaller calibers once percussion caps came along making it easier to hide. Europe was first to create and employ cartridge ammo. Once Colt integrated the same design that Swiss gunsmith Jean Samuel Pauly in association with French gunsmith François Prélat created it was not too long it was employed in the American West but very expensive. Winchester arms, Sharps and others started further versions and boom it took off at the end of the Civil War, but was already in use by the British Army before the USA. @@theodavies8754
Good thing there was no Social Media back then. They would have posting none stop in social media about their kill. Time has changed though its all about that rat shit where people catch you lacking, no honor in these streets no more.
It looks real because if you go frame by frame, you notice the closest guy's head is turned by the impact and a spray is emitted from his face. Whether thats saliva or blood, that is caused by impact. Also, the far guy aimed well before looking down and still had sight of the referee giving the go signal, so he shot first. The closer guy didn't do any of that. Also the only way someone would drop like that is if it was indeed a headshot, as the spray implies. Although, this could be an edited video of course..

I have read a narration about a duel more or less in the same time, 1890s, in a suburban field near Madrid. Early morning, two gentlemen, the judge, two witnesses, the doctor, etc. were preparing everything, and a shepherd approaches them with a small sheeps herd. -"Is this a duel?" he asks politely. -"Hmm.. Yes !"- "Oh, I see... and, it's pistol or sabre?" . The judge, a little bit annoyed- "Emm... it's... well, it's not your bussiness !" -" No. IT'S MY BUSSINESS! Because, it this is sabre, no problem, but if this is a pistols affaire, i'm going with my herd on the other side of that hill..." People, sometimes, were not very familiar with pistols...

For those interested in duels... there is an episode where Reinhard von Müsel had to participate in a pistol duel on behalf of a friend. That's Legends of the Galactic Heroes Side-story.
Duels in movies: thunder rolling the hill, high tension, deep concentration, people gasping, someone running from away to stop them, anxious music, action, confessions, fire, screams, tension again, promise of revenge, hero gallop with the wounded on his horse... Duels in real life : nice sky, birds singing, every one is calm and composed. "So let's be quick so we can move on with our days 1, 2, 3 fire", done. Some just walk away to go back to their life, others simply heal the wounded.
Hard to tell. Watching in slowest playback you can see "blood"comijg from his nose area as his head snaps round. But the winners pistol dosnt appear to be aiming at his head when it gies iff, more towards the ground.
No you can't because it's a re-enactment of the duel between Colonel Francisco Romero and José Verástegui. Neither of which are in this film, no one here got shot.
@@marcapouli7805only a complete buffoon would say something like that. Any person who is a little smart and who has read a few history books knows that we are currently living in the most peaceful and prosperous time in human history. No matter how violent, depraved or crazy you think people are nowadays, they were even worse before. Go read a book and educate yourself.
They seem to be standing awfully close, even a novice shooter like myself can hit a target with a black powder pistol at that distance (shot a four inch group with a flintlock smoothbore today as a matter of fact at probably further distance, just under 25 yards). I am no duel expert but I understand the idea was to have an element of fate, or luck. It would seem unfair or even foolhardy to stand so close, unless of course this is just a trick of perspective, as the idea was not necessarily to kill the other man, but face him with a weapon. For what it's worth if this was a real duel and not a reenactment I hope the wounded man recovered. Knowing this might be a real shoot I felt genuine emotion when he went down, so sudden, just - drop like a puppet with strings cut.
So you've reenacted duels with live ammunition resulting from a heated argument or disagreement with another man from which both of you agreed you would be willing to kill, or die, over it? If not, you'd be really, really surprised how tension and nerves can affect combat accuracy. You'd be surprised how many shots for instance, police in firefights miss at close range, with semi-automatic pistols.
@@TemenosL No, I have not reenacted duels or shot at people with live ammo, which I assume was a rhetorical question as that would be both immoral and illegal. I have however shot black powder pistols often at the range (at inanimate targets), usually one handed using a traditional stance, unlike some people who aim from a rest etc. I therefore think I can speak to their potential accuracy more than most people who have never shot a muzzleloader, or those who do not shoot freehand. Obviously general observations about the use of such weapons are not the same as having fought a duel. I do agree that you are correct in that accuracy in combat is not the same as on a shooting range, so that is a fair observation, but having never been in combat (thank goodness) I cannot speak to that personally. And regarding combat with 19th century black powder weapons, I'm not sure there is anyone living who can...
First they may not even be shooters they could artist for all we know and had a disagreement lol, different and tactics different training I'm sure if any, so I know it may seem to be the same, you cant really compare their technology with todays.
100% real footage - people talking about the sound and the picture quality - the uploader even says it has been upscaled and colourised and the sound added in - as is very normal when people put up very old clips - it is not deception its just a way of enhancing it. people saying `fake they never had this quality in the 1800s` have not read the title/description Next - anybody watching movies/ old acting from early movies late 1800s early 1900s will see when they shoot they overact throwing their hands in the air/ clutching their face and fall. this didnt have any of that. And residue - substance flies off when shot too. A blank wouldnt do that. In my opinion this is real. Additional Edit - you will see when the `victim` falls, he is breathing heavily for a few seconds. Then it stops completly he is completly stiff, even his legs/ shoes dont even move in the slightest. Even his hand doesnt move (until it flops down at the end after having been propped up by the people checking his pulse. Back then when acting was very amateur there is no way they would have this level of detail.
Fake or not. If only this was still allowed now, imagine how different life would be. People would be much more courteous and respectful to each whether they liked it or not. If duels were ever on a ballot in November to return I’d definitely vote ‘yes’.
Of course it's real, the guy got shot in the face, you can see secondary cloud of blood, which could not come from his gun. On a computer you can go frame by frame by pressing ">". Interesting how many people's brains will work hard to protect themselves by coming up with alternate explanations.
@@interabang The point is: that's not how people fall after they've been shot. The man in the video fell in a cliche movie manner. In real life, when you get shot, your body just crumples instantly. It looks like a puppet that suddenly has its strings cut. Also, it's common to see people get shot in a movie and they fall down and appear to be dead/unconscious instantly. Like in this video. Unless it's a head shot (which it is NOT in this video), you do not lose consciousness or die instantly when you've been shot. The person will be lying on the ground, writhing around slowly in pain, moaning and groaning. After a few seconds or minutes (depending on the seriousness of the wound), they eventually stop moving. This video is extremely poorly acted. And it's obviously fake.
@@DeadPixel1105people keep saying how poorly acted this was like acting was so nuanced at the time. I’d say besides the loser’s prat fall it’s sufficient enough.
Very realistic and I'd be convinced it wasn't staged except for one thing. They open the fallen man's shirt and start dressing a supposed wound on his chest. But when the pistols were fired he had his body turned away from his opponent. There's no way the bullet could have struck him in the chest, but rather would have hit him on his left side instead.
@@dhaisa Bullets are weird things. They tend to spin, tumble and deviate from their trajectory on impact. If you were ever in the military and did first aid, which most soldiers do, we learn that the impact and exit wounds may be very far apart. A bullet could hit a knee and end up exiting from the buttock. It all depends on the rotation of the bullet on impact, the angle of impact, wether it hit a bone, or two, or three and wether it even left the body. In this instance, if the bullet hit his mouth, it could deflect off his jaw, down into his chest, and be deflected out of his body by hitting a rib or enter his heart and kill him. Such is the brutality of being shot.
Pistol Duel - Based on a real event that occurred between two deputies, in Chapultepec Park 1896 The film was directed by Gabriel Veyre and is called 'Duel au pistolet'.@@digdougedy
"Duel au Pistolet," filmed in 1896 by Gabriel Veyre under the Lumière brothers' production. This short film depicts a pistol duel between two men, with one falling after being shot. It's widely regarded as a staged reenactment, possibly inspired by a notable duel that occurred in September 1894 between Colonel Francisco Romero and José Verástegui in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.
@@truesosense7722 even though, if this was the manner in which duels were carried out, this is no matter of skill or dexterity. Just who shot first, with the potential to both be killed. Natural selection be damned, this is chance selection. Don't have them point the guns at each other at the beginning and make them approach each other through some woods. Or better yet, don't kill each other at all...
Who knows. Nerves probably. If you knew you could possibly be killed during this duel, you would probably miss too. I know I probably would. It's just like watching someone give a speech on stage through your TV screen. Where you are comfortable, it's easy to look at things from a different way than actually being there doing it.
Original Content: supposedly France (Gabriel Veyre, 1896) but likely filmed in Mexico This old clip has two men facing one another with pistols pointed. We see a group of spectators watching and then they fire with one man falling to the grass. It seems like this was staged in Mexico and presented to the audience as something happening in France. Upscaled, Colorised and Resounded(gunshot sound was added in after the fact) This is full-format Video in (4:3) to be as detailed as possible.

Haha, nah man, it’s still aliens. The video is “colored” and digitally remastered. It’d still look crisp and clear before, but more original with frames.
I got my collection of video evidence from the “CGI” reign of the 2000’s and 2010’s. Now people think they can’t figure out real things because of “AI” or more like procedurally generated illusions. There were great videos available and ponder the unknown. Basically, if you waited for the government’s to show their hand and actually mind blowingly talk about aliens after corona (2020 new normal), then they got you coaxed and caught off guard. It’s intentional disclosure to manipulate the truths and they really waited all these years since the 1950’s, for our generation to suffer and and forget their denial all these years, just to play dumb. I started looking into UFO videos around 13, 2015 and there were so many untainted searches on google to find unique ones. You could almost tell completely which were CGI and ones that moved similar and looked real. Slowly, it was just a matter of seeing enough real videos to pick up on how they move and usually act, per species and craft type. Tic tac is brainwash labeling, they’re just one specie’s type of (peaceful) drones. It’s deep and have gone a far ways from the questions in the beginning to start making connections. So much out there, but no one to tell you it’s right or some science cult narrative holding you back from reality shifts. I don’t know, I’ve just looked into a lot of things that tell a different story before all this forced vaccine narrative and re-introduction of UFO paranoia

@@Patrony762this s reenactment about a duel in Mexico, not France
" "Duel au Pistolet (1896)".
Gabriel Veyre was working as a pharmacist in a small village south of Lyon when motion pictures first debuted in France. Seeing an opportunity for travel (and a pay raise), Veyre got a job with the Lumière brothers as a cameraman. In the summer of 1896, he was dispatched to Mexico along with a partner, Claude Ferdinand Von Bernard. The two men were immediately embraced by both the country’s ruling elite and the general public. They not only gave regular showings of imported motion pictures, to widespread acclaim, but also recorded and showed the first films to be taken in Mexico. Several of these included films of the Mexican president, General Porfirio Díaz.
The pair spent nearly six months in the country, and their activities were enthusiastically reported on by several newspapers. Their stay was, however, not entirely without controversy. In mid-December they visited Chapultepec Park and filmed a re-enactment of an actual duel. Veyre reportedly had the permission of authorities to film the scene. This may have been necessary, not because of the subject, but because the actors were playing two real-life political figures. Or it may simply have been because the filming took place near the presidential residence in Chapultepec Castle. However, despite the official approval, some journalists worried in print that the film would give a bad impression of the country to an international audience. ..
Several sources claim that this was a re-enactment of a duel that had taken place the day before the filming, between two government officials, but give no additional details. This seems unlikely to be correct for several reasons. It was most probably a recreation of a famous duel that had taken place in September 1894, between Colonel Francisco Romero and Jose Verástegui, the postmaster general (see left). Romero, approaching the house of Juan Barajas, a mutual friend, for dinner, had supposedly overheard Verástegui inside, insulting him to Barajas’s wife, Natalia. He later sent Verástegui a letter, accusing him of carrying on an affair with Natalia, and of having gained a foothold with the family by using his influence to get Barajas a government job. ..
However, in the end, the film apparently wasn’t shown publicly in Mexico. Veyre sent a print back to France, and traveled on to Cuba, and then to Venezuela, where he did show the film several months later. It had debuted in France early in 1897, under the title Mexique: un Duel au Pistolet. For what it’s worth, the inclusion of “Mexico” in the film’s title confirms that the Mexican journalists’ fears concerning the portrayal of their country were at least partially justified. ..
The print that exists of this film is absolutely pristine, but it genuinely stands out in a few other ways. Many viewers have commented on the naturalism of the duelist’s death, one of the first to be depicted on screen and very much in contrast to the melodramatic style that was more typical of this time. The victim doesn’t throw up his hands, clutch his chest, or stagger or roll around in the agonies of death. He simply falls over, letting the pistol drop. It’s no wonder, then, that some viewers might have mistaken this for the real thing. ".
Excerpts from a longer article. It’s funny to listen to people who write that this is AI, this short film could have been seen on TV in historical programs 20 years ago.
You are the real MVP
"Many viewers have commented on the naturalism of the duelist’s death, one of the first to be depicted on screen and very much in contrast to the melodramatic style that was more typical of this time."
This is because the actor had probably seen death and knew how things are in reality, not fantasy. I was watching a WW2 video and the men shot and killed just fall, like a puppet with their strings cut. Its a bit eerie.

@@ЗвездыБольшойПротуберанецI liked reading it
As a curious fact, in the country of Uruguay there was a duel law that existed between 1920 and 1992. If a person stained your honor you could challenge them to a duel, if they accepted. It was fixed where and when it was going to happen... what weapons could be used. ..and what rules had to be obeyed. It could also be established whether the duel was first blood or death. In other cases, this law allowed you to take justice into your own hands.
Back when honour existed and men were men.

Galaos, one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, died in a duel at a very young age. He was a French mathematician whose contributions have a very big impact on modern mathematics. It is wondered by many how much more he would have contributed had he not died in that duel.
His calculations were slightly off.
@@ChingoMandinguez Nice xD

@@ChingoMandinguezlmao
@@ChingoMandinguez Nope, you don't know what you are talking about.
To make it more interesting, Galois was rejected as a student of mathematics at several universities. The evening before the duel in which he died he wrote down his theory, and sent it to some famous mathematicians. After an extended time one of them decided to take a look at Galois' letter, and after much study he figured out that what Galois did was revolutionary. It was a significant contribution to what is now known as group theory. He looked at the probable solutions of a 5th-degree polynomial as a group, and discovered that such solutions could not be expressed in terms of standard functions. This had been an open problem for many centuries.

In this duel reenactment, I like how the 'winner' appears concerned and disturbed afterward. That's very good attention to detail. In real life, the majority of duel participants did NOT want to actually kill. When insulted or disrespected, a man felt immense social pressure to challenge the other person to a duel. They feared loss of respect and status if they did not challenge their opponent to a duel. People would think they are soft and mentally weak. So they felt social pressure to offer a duel challenge, despite NOT wanting to do it.
And the person who received the challenge likewise did NOT want to accept the duel, but if they declined they would lose social status and respect from their community. People thinking they are cowards. So they felt like they were forced to accept the challenge, despite not wanting to do it. In most cases, neither man wanted to participate in the duel. Neither man wanted to actually maim or kill the other.
So it's a nice attention to detail that the duel winner in this video acts concerned and a bit shocked to see the outcome of his actions.
Wait this not real?
I think it ironic that they duel in order to not look weak, when in reality their weakness was fear of looking weak.
Mi pare un analisi corretta, visto il periodo storico, quando l'onore personale era molto importante
Horse shit. It's real, and it's in France.
@@craigroaringProblem is most people think of duels as a deadly affair when it is not the case, a gentleman can end up fighting dozens of duels in his life and never be maimed in any fashion. For example in the movie “The Duelist” which is based on a real rivalry, two French cavalry officers fought multiple duels over more than 15 years and were still unable to kill each other (and they wanted to) now imagine a duel where the two sides didn’t actually want to kill each other which is most often the case.

It's fake af. Sound in movies wasn't invented until 1927.
I’ve done some research and its probably staged but its still an great representation how pistol duels were. I’m a history teacher to be and these were duels normally to settle arguments. In a lot of places these duels were accepted as a form of dealing with tensions. This was an popular way to deal with these in France, which is probably where the confusion comes from (including the style of clothing) In the majority of the time, duel winners weren’t punished as murderers because if the duel was fair, the matter had been solved privately. Although in some occasions (when the duel wasn’t fair) or some places this was still killing. Very interesting video!!

I played this back at 1/4 speed and watched the first 3 seconds over and over. I noticed everyone else's body language. Everyone was planning on the guy closest to camera losing the gunfight. One guy even caught his head on the way down. No one was ready for the far guy to lose. I also noticed each guy turned their heads and closed their eyes when the officiate claps his hands. Aside from the awesome coloring job, there seems to be no contrast of blood stain on the loser, even if it were black and white. My guess is this is staged.
watch again please, especially at the time they triggered, you can see the smoke of bullets getting in to him, and from his face out
Except there's another man right besides the victor.
Maybe it was a setup, cheating the other guy
Apart from the puff of atomised blood when he is shot?
Well he is being shot at from about 15 feet away, so safe to say he is likely about to get shot and fall over. There are people on both sides ready to catch these guys.

I would expect this dramatic reenactment of a duel being authentic considered it occurred during a time they were contemporaneous. Either way, for early cinema, it is masterfully directed and definitely deserves the love it is receiving over a century later.
I think it's staged. The guy who is "shot" shows no reaction to any impact, he just seems to swoon to the ground. Taking a lead ball from close range would surely have knocked him back a bit, or at least jolted him.
As you say, it's still a masterful piece of very early film, and seems to be an accurate depiction of a fascinating historical custom.
I think it's a really stretch to say duels were still "rather common" in 1890s France.
It was a practice that was very much fading out at that point, and had been so for like a century.
@@jaygee5693 That's not how it works usually people don't go flying backwards when shot like in movies, but I agree this is probably staged duels were rare in the 1890s and I doubt the people would want to stand that close if it was real.

Really ahead of its time, they were clearly aiming to make it look as real as possible which is crazy for the 1890's, good on them, giving a glimpse into how these duels truly were.
If this was staged, then I have to say that the acting is top tier. The clip feels so real!
many people here say its probably staged, but I believe to see the impact of the bullet, its a small "dust cloud" slightly red, it could be the blood splashing. Also he standet sideways, the bullet would go straight to the hearth making him collapse instantly. The guys trying to help him go look exactly where the small red "dust cloud" appeared.. I think its probably real.
Ever see a person die instantly from a gunshot? It's not like that!
@@jtmills86 you not seen many people shot or have any medic background do you? If a shot goes rigth into the heart or brain, or massively destroys vital organs, the body instantly collaps and loosing concsiousness. If a body instantly collapse does not mean he is instantly dead. He may die but, it is a shock reaction of the body a person has no control of it anymore.
@trockenschwimmer either head shot or hydrostatic shock, legs don't stiffen up and they fall over. That's old time rendition of being shot. Legs go limp as a wet noodle and the collapse straight down.
@@jtmills86 not always necessary. If the brain or the heart gets a direct hit and are heavely damaged so that there is a lets say Instant death I agree. But as I seid if a vital organ is hit it may not cause instant death but is such a big impact that the body face an instant Stock, legs wont not go noodles usually. I've seen hits from an AR from a Distanzen of about 10 to 15 Yards right into the chest and the suspect dropped similar to this guy here. With stiff legs he fell over his back lost consciousness immediately and was dead one or two minutes later.

Film can always be upscaled, it is timeless, where as digital footage is still very stinky

Its the nature of film. Its working at a molecular lvl and no matter how good our technology u just cant physically produce a digital sensor at such a small scale. So the resolution is very high.
Im always bummed when i get tv shows that filmed in a digital format back in the 90's because they look like crap even when upscaled whereas a show from the 50's can look phenomenal if the films been kept in good condition
@@GonzoDonzo Like any analog medium, noise limits the actual resolution. If film truly contained detail without limit to the molecular level then you would basically see no grain, regardless of how far you zoom in until you reach the scale of the photoreactive molecules. 8k digital resolution is adequate to supercede 35mm film, but you need to go a bit higher for 70mm. This is almost moot though because only a small minority of film was done in 70mm format.

In Bugis, Sulawesi, Indonesia, there still exists a cultural practice of settling disputes through fatal knife fights using "badik" or weapons until die. This tradition continues to persist until today as a means of resolving conflicts. It's called Sigajang Laleng Lipa
Dramatic recreation of a classic duel with single shot percussion pistols. If you notice, at the time of each participant's firearm discharge, they are both looking down and away from the line of fire. The very last thing anyone would consider when your life depends on expediency and accuracy.
Firing any weapon of this time required looking away so the gunsmoke doesn’t burn your eyes and blind you. Very common.
Ahhh, that's an exaggeration to say the least. Black powder smoke can be a bit acrid but not a major problem if you happen to inhale or get a little in the eyes. If this duel was the real deal neither participant would risk their life looking away at the time of ignition.@@GojoGunning
I'm gonna disagree with you. You can see many less experienced or less trained people act like this; flinching, cowering away from perceived danger, not handling their weaponry very well in general. It wouldn't be unbelievable that they'd do it in a real duel, presuming that they're not habitual duelists. Just take a new guy to the range with a larger weapon, you're gonna see them do the same things, and they're not even at risk of injury or death.
It's honestly a shame that you aren't required some way to be knowledgeable in order to post a comment. Historical accounts say this was very common with people firing a flint lock firearm and is even represented in a movie (The Patriot) at one point. You basically have a puddle of gun powder near your face with nothing protecting your face or eyes from hot embers. So to protect themselves many people simply looked away when firing the weapon.
@lw4268 I really encourage you to become a more knowledgeable person, rephrase your comments to include that your opinion is of uneducated opinion, or at the least do a quick research before putting up misinformation. Pitiful
I'm not saying it's real but it was indeed fairly common to not look down the sights when firing at your opponent. Aside from the fact that the sights of especially pistols at the time were near unusable and incredibly inaccurate. Many duels were used as a way of sort of settling things. Lots of times both parties would agree to a duel and fire their pistols blindly as to hopefully not shoot their opponent realizing that their lives were more important than the quarrel and ending it amicably. Being able to say that you dueled your opponent as to not appear a coward. That's also another reason these duels only used one shot, if the end goal was to simply go until a man was dead they'd just let them retry over and over until until a hit was made and one lie dead. Also I believe there have been cases where one party intentionally missed and the other chose not to respect this and hit regardless and also plenty of accidental hits came about from it.
Wow, color and sound movie cameras back in 1896...
If this is staged, they are better actors than we have today!
surely staged ...who would film a gunfight direcly in the line of fire of one of the duellists ?
It's a movie. Cheers.

Today, people fall off cliffs while taking selfies.
Life was much less crazy back then.
For those of you thinking this might be genuine, there are a few things which give it away as not genuine period footage: If you watch the guy who supposedly 'wins', he looks away before firing; as a result of him doing this, the barrel of his pistol drops significantly to the point where there is no way his shot would have aligned with a headshot impact, which on the footage is either a squib or is a post-process addition. Aside from this, there is no way seconds, doctors etc would be that close to duellists, nor anyone placed with the camera in that location either, since it is close to the line of fire. But, even if none of this were true, the big giveaway is that no camera dating from 1896 (which would have been hand-cranked at that time, and this footage is not hand-cranked) nor any film available in that period would have had the capacity to record imagery which depicts individual blades of grass, as can be seen on this footage. Film emulsion just wasn't good enough to do this back then, nor indeed for many decades after that date either. Have a look at some genuine footage from around 1900 and you'll see it is nowhere near this sharp and detailed, nor does it show the level of contrast we can see here either. You just don't get this level of detail on film from that period.
I agree
I did not read any other comments but you pointed out what I said also.
I think it is significant that both men look away before firing their pistols, likely to protect their faces from the powder blast, something I think a person is unlikely to do if their life depended on a well-aimed shot. Also there is zero recoil, which suggests it was just wadding without a bullet.
I doubt this is real as well but with regards to the resolution, the poster probably uses something like Topaz AI, which might account for the extra detail since the algorithm used literally adds detail.
Bullet hit should be left side, they "find" it midle of cheast, the film was bluffing!
Most assuredly staged to be used in some piece of film. And yes most likely in Mexico, the carriage drivers are wearing Sombreros. Film with sound came about in 1927. Also these pistols are percussion cap not flintlock. You can tell it is not real by 1. their stance is correct turning to their side to make a lesser sized target, but the man who fell his comrades are applying a cloth on the opposite side of his facing the opponent. 2. Even with dueling pistols there is a good kick to them, these showed none, just a great deal of smoke hence their reason for turning their heads away. If there had been a ball packed in the pressure would have created a recoil. Real duels they never turned their head away because these weapons were unreliable for accuracy. 3. They are not at the correct distance for a duel. (This was done to keep them in frame for the film) . 20 paces is 60 feet. 10 paces is 30 feet. These men were at around 15 feet. Also, since the smooth bore were unreliable the camera man is in the path of any traveling round. 4. If one had been hit ( it is not an unseen wound,) most caliber balls were from 30 to 56 caliber and it would have knocked the man off his feet....not just falling backwards and there would be an obvious blowing out of flesh. This is strictly for theatrics. The man on the far side his weapon is pointed downward as he looks away I used a scale to the screen and it would have hit the opponent around the lower extremity. The man closest his angle fired high over the opponents head In real duels no one acting as his second would stand that close because a person can be hit knocked off balance and fire his weapon into the observers. This was all done at too close of proximity to maintain the scene , this was all done in the frame. At the .03 mark you can see their pistols are just firing and no recoil and they are not aligned, one is too low the other too high. In the Black and White reversed version you can actually see the powder blow out paper wadding from the farthest shooter hitting towards the lower area (you would not see this if a ball had been in the barrel.)
They had percussion cap pistols in 1896 and for all we know they could be rifled, but I agree this is likely staged for film. Especially since unmanned cameras were not a thing then and I don't think anyone would want to be standing where that camera is at. Also the spectators wouldn't have been so close.
I've shot these type.
.36 or .44 would be the most likely.
.36 has very little recoil but as you say, there would be some muzzle flip.
Absolutely disagree they were not accurate,an obturated round ball of soft lead from a .44 was intended to take a charging fully laden cavalry soldier off their horse at 70 yards.

I had 2 Sharps of London percussion caps that fired .36 and they do kick.

You have to remember that flintlocks used more grain powder for a larger bore than percussion caps and they were making them in smaller and smaller calibers once percussion caps came along making it easier to hide.

Awesome recreation of a duel
I knew it.
It looks real because if you go frame by frame, you notice the closest guy's head is turned by the impact and a spray is emitted from his face.
Whether thats saliva or blood, that is caused by impact.
Also, the far guy aimed well before looking down and still had sight of the referee giving the go signal, so he shot first.
The closer guy didn't do any of that.
Also the only way someone would drop like that is if it was indeed a headshot, as the spray implies.
Although, this could be an edited video of course..
It’s staged. You didn’t happen to notice how they’re only standing on one side of the body so as not to block the camera?

Funny how the cameraman is almost directly behind the man who was shot. That's an odd angle to film from when the risk of a stray bullet is very real.
It's obviously staged...
The saying "the cameraman never dies" is timeless, and applies even to the late 19th century...
I have read a narration about a duel more or less in the same time, 1890s, in a suburban field near Madrid. Early morning, two gentlemen, the judge, two witnesses, the doctor, etc. were preparing everything, and a shepherd approaches them with a small sheeps herd. -"Is this a duel?" he asks politely. -"Hmm.. Yes !"- "Oh, I see... and, it's pistol or sabre?" . The judge, a little bit annoyed- "Emm... it's... well, it's not your bussiness !" -" No. IT'S MY BUSSINESS! Because, it this is sabre, no problem, but if this is a pistols affaire, i'm going with my herd on the other side of that hill..."
People, sometimes, were not very familiar with pistols...

Imagine how many duel will happen today. 😳
just walk through chicago and see
They seem to be standing awfully close, even a novice shooter like myself can hit a target with a black powder pistol at that distance (shot a four inch group with a flintlock smoothbore today as a matter of fact at probably further distance, just under 25 yards). I am no duel expert but I understand the idea was to have an element of fate, or luck. It would seem unfair or even foolhardy to stand so close, unless of course this is just a trick of perspective, as the idea was not necessarily to kill the other man, but face him with a weapon.
For what it's worth if this was a real duel and not a reenactment I hope the wounded man recovered. Knowing this might be a real shoot I felt genuine emotion when he went down, so sudden, just - drop like a puppet with strings cut.
You look closely he gets shots in the face, you can even see his head turn from the impact, least he died on the spot.
So you've reenacted duels with live ammunition resulting from a heated argument or disagreement with another man from which both of you agreed you would be willing to kill, or die, over it?
If not, you'd be really, really surprised how tension and nerves can affect combat accuracy. You'd be surprised how many shots for instance, police in firefights miss at close range, with semi-automatic pistols.
@@TemenosL No, I have not reenacted duels or shot at people with live ammo, which I assume was a rhetorical question as that would be both immoral and illegal. I have however shot black powder pistols often at the range (at inanimate targets), usually one handed using a traditional stance, unlike some people who aim from a rest etc. I therefore think I can speak to their potential accuracy more than most people who have never shot a muzzleloader, or those who do not shoot freehand.
Obviously general observations about the use of such weapons are not the same as having fought a duel.
I do agree that you are correct in that accuracy in combat is not the same as on a shooting range, so that is a fair observation, but having never been in combat (thank goodness) I cannot speak to that personally. And regarding combat with 19th century black powder weapons, I'm not sure there is anyone living who can...
First they may not even be shooters they could artist for all we know and had a disagreement lol, different and tactics different training I'm sure if any, so I know it may seem to be the same, you cant really compare their technology with todays.
I remember seeing this film before, being labeled as a recreation, not a real duel. They may have stood so close to fit everyone in the shot.
Somehow this is more civilized then getting a bunch of lawyers involved
100% real footage - people talking about the sound and the picture quality - the uploader even says it has been upscaled and colourised and the sound added in - as is very normal when people put up very old clips - it is not deception its just a way of enhancing it. people saying `fake they never had this quality in the 1800s` have not read the title/description
Next - anybody watching movies/ old acting from early movies late 1800s early 1900s will see when they shoot they overact throwing their hands in the air/ clutching their face and fall. this didnt have any of that.
And residue - substance flies off when shot too.
A blank wouldnt do that.
In my opinion this is real.
Additional Edit - you will see when the `victim` falls, he is breathing heavily for a few seconds. Then it stops completly he is completly stiff, even his legs/ shoes dont even move in the slightest. Even his hand doesnt move (until it flops down at the end after having been propped up by the people checking his pulse. Back then when acting was very amateur there is no way they would have this level of detail.
This is why people treated each other with respect in the past.

What gave it away to me is the way he fell. It looked like he took care not to harm himself when falling.
Obviously, he had just been shot 🙄😏
@@interabang The point is: that's not how people fall after they've been shot. The man in the video fell in a cliche movie manner. In real life, when you get shot, your body just crumples instantly. It looks like a puppet that suddenly has its strings cut.
Also, it's common to see people get shot in a movie and they fall down and appear to be dead/unconscious instantly. Like in this video. Unless it's a head shot (which it is NOT in this video), you do not lose consciousness or die instantly when you've been shot. The person will be lying on the ground, writhing around slowly in pain, moaning and groaning. After a few seconds or minutes (depending on the seriousness of the wound), they eventually stop moving.
This video is extremely poorly acted. And it's obviously fake.
Not at all! Very true situation !
@@DeadPixel1105people keep saying how poorly acted this was like acting was so nuanced at the time. I’d say besides the loser’s prat fall it’s sufficient enough.
It was filmed in Mexico and was a re-enactment by actors of an actual duel that took place possibly the day before.
Very realistic and I'd be convinced it wasn't staged except for one thing. They open the fallen man's shirt and start dressing a supposed wound on his chest. But when the pistols were fired he had his body turned away from his opponent. There's no way the bullet could have struck him in the chest, but rather would have hit him on his left side instead.
He was hit in the face. Watch the slow motion. However, this does not mean the bullet did not ricochet into his chest.
Exit wound could be in his chest.
@@digdougedyi have never heard of that? How does it happen? From where does if bounce
@@dhaisa Bullets are weird things. They tend to spin, tumble and deviate from their trajectory on impact. If you were ever in the military and did first aid, which most soldiers do, we learn that the impact and exit wounds may be very far apart. A bullet could hit a knee and end up exiting from the buttock. It all depends on the rotation of the bullet on impact, the angle of impact, wether it hit a bone, or two, or three and wether it even left the body. In this instance, if the bullet hit his mouth, it could deflect off his jaw, down into his chest, and be deflected out of his body by hitting a rib or enter his heart and kill him. Such is the brutality of being shot.

It's widely regarded as a staged reenactment, possibly inspired by a notable duel that occurred in September 1894 between Colonel Francisco Romero and José Verástegui in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.
