there was a tendency in English for rather brief time to spell Rumanian hence you may find the Roumania, Rumania in some archives, it faded out in time, by the 80's the only acceptable English spelling was Romania :D :D :D

@Pan Baron true.

That's because of the disaster of Market reforms and shock therapy which shook the nation during the 90s. Romanian (Rumanian?) GDP decreased 21% in the two years following the collapse. Like most eastern European countries, went through severe deindustrialisation and population decline. In fact Romania's (Rumania's?) population is still recovering from the collapse. In 1991 their population was 23 Million, now their population is 19 Million. Energy consumption per Capita in Romania (Rumania?) was 2,987 kg of oil equivalent in 1989, it's now 1,591 kg of oil. Almost half of what it was in the 80s. Keep in mind though this film released in the 60s not the 80s so living standards were probably different from what I just described, but you get the general idea.
@Werm 01 In many ways modern Romania is better than it was in the past, in terms of GDP and GDP per capita Romania is much better. Although if you measured Romanian GDP taking into account inflation, so GDP in constant 2010 USD, it took 13 years to catch up to pre-revolution levels, not 5 years.

GDP could increase but that economic growth can be concentrated in entrepreneurial sectors of the economy, meaning the average life of a Romanian won't necessarily get better. And even then increase in salary may not mean more money floating around as they have to pay bills for rent, education, healthcare, all of which have become more expensive. There's also unemployment. Romania's current unemployment rate is 4% and was historically higher due to recession. In 1994, unemployment reached 11%. Due to the 2008 Recession Romania's unemployment rate reached 7.1% in 2011, and only started to recover by 2015. and there's also energy consumption, which is half of what it was in 1989. And I feel this is the reason that although the economy is currently doing well in Romania, things like their birth rates and population for example, still haven't recovered from the collapse and will continue to decrease. That's not to say Romania was better in the 80s, you have things like smartphones now and better consumer choices, but it's to say things weren't necessarily worse back then.

I went to the sport hotel in Brasov in 1996, it was the best hotel and right next to the slopes. Every day our ski instructor took us somewhere fancy for lunch and then we spent the rest of the afternoon swishing down through the trees. At night a band played for dinner and then we had a surprise fashion show and I won a dress in a raffle!

A few years after this documentary was made, a fellow name Ceaucescu became the top dog in Romania. He led the people into a long and agonising twilight. Ceaucescu was executed in 1989, but Romania has not fully recovered from the poverty and violence he forced most Romanians to endure.

This specific film is meant to sell you on Romania as a tourist destination. It's not a news item talking about some problem in the country, that would be out of place. British Pathé has a lot of travelogue films, and every one of them is going to be polite and have nice things to say about the place they're talking about. It's common courtesy with the format. Again, it is not the news. The news can talk about issues. This is just fluff.

@Roumania1 I'd say worse, the traffic on the Triump's Arc's roundabout is crazy nowadays and most of the ancient buildings were removed by Ceaușescu after the 1977 earthquake. It is still nice don't get me wrong, but you can still clearly see the scars left by the old regime, scars that you don't really see in other cities' centres like Sibiu or Sighișoara.
While Romania is a beautiful country, it wasn't long from these images until the poverty and tragedy of our regime cought up to us. The most prosperity and cultural achievements Romania ever experienced were during the time before ww1. Then Bucharest was truly the "little Paris".
For the rich, for the poor you know what it was? Do you know what it was Bucharest for the poor in your own country?? You come here with bs about interbelic times , how about you talk ABOUT WHOLE COUNTRY??!
Nici pe departe Romania in 1964 nu arata asa. In filmulet sunt aratate doar partile frumoase. Era mizerie si saracie cat cuprinde si pe vremea aia, nu mai vorbesc de regimul opresiv.

În unele zone arăta probabil bine. Dar pe urmă s-au umplut marile oraşe de ce cei care nu se pot adopta în viaţa marilor oraşe, iar după 1989 cam zero planificare şi fiecare a făcut ce i-a trecut prin cap.
when they say nostalgia, i hope this is what they mean, not the stupid communist era that traumatised all of us, also it looks even better than today's romanian reality
People betting: CAPITALISTS! "Suspicious southern Romania is really a vivacious young girl flirting with Western ideas and beckoning the tourists to come just a little further afield in the search for fun and bright lights." I mean, you got to love the effort.
well, I never expected to see a foreign studio create such a warm montage about my country. That's for sure. Also, here's a cold-hard fact for those who don't know it: all of the evil that happens in this world is because of economic reasons. And the reason I am saying this is because during Ceausescu's presidency (so, in communism) Romania has been the only country in the world without external debt. And this has displeased the western countries, the empires, and the rich organizations which is why they have collaborated to strike us and dismember us into smaller territories so they can fully occupy us and and steal all of our riches (and yes, Romania is still a rich country, but please, stay in your own countries folks, there's plenty of room for living well for everyone).
Well most videos only focus on the really bad side/ gypsy villages so this is fair. All nations have two sides, every good video you see on a country isn’t showing the bad sides and vice versa
My grandparent went to Romania around this time. They loved it. I guess there was some tourism push, not sure who instigated it, the Romanian government? Or perhaps British travel companies? Or both?
Probably the trade union movement in Britain was involved also - they often organised and publicised trips to communist countries to show how the 'workers paradise' looked. In the 60s for example many left-wing British people would not visit Spain or Portugal because they were considered 'fascist'.
Even though back then it was a communist dictatorship, it did a better job at promoting and preserving it's tourist attractions. But it was really just a mask to trick the foreigners into believing that all is well. It was the same strategy that North Korea also uses. Romania was Europe's North Korea at that time, there was no other country in Europe as isolated as Romania. It barely even interacted with the other communist neighbours. I am from Romania, so I'm not talking out of my ass.
Daca esti roman, stim amandoi ca Romania a fost cea mai putin periculoasa tara din cele comuniste, nu cred ca ai vazut ce dictatori malefici erau in Albania, crimele lor inca se resimt in Albania unde inca este destul de slab dezvoltata.

Romania 1964.Un peisaj pitoresc din mediul rural. Un fermier și turma sa de vaci . Fotografii din țară. Imagini ale Carpaților. Câteva detalii din istoria României. Scene de la un hipodrom . Prezentarea telescaunului de la la stațiunea Poianna Brasov. Imagini din București și instantanee surprinse la picnic. Mănăstirlie Bucovinei și litorlalul. Și multe alte imagini surprinse dintr-o Românie prezentată într-un mod atractiv de prezentatorul britanic în anul 1964 într-un filmuleț ce merită urmărit.

I went to the sport hotel in Brasov in 1996, it was the best hotel and right next to the slopes. Every day our ski instructor took us somewhere fancy for lunch and then we spent the rest of the afternoon swishing down through the trees. At night a band played for dinner and then we had a surprise fashion show and I won a dress in a raffle!
From what i've heard from my parents, it was quite a good life before 1970, after that it went downhill pretty bad.
May be the indian gypsies took the leadership in politics and everything collapse just like the currupted politicians in india 😂😂

I miss when the world had such an exciting feel. Its like discovering something beautiful and hidden but nowadays it would be from a mobile phone with no glamor
A few years after this documentary was made, a fellow name Ceaucescu became the top dog in Romania. He led the people into a long and agonising twilight. Ceaucescu was executed in 1989, but Romania has not fully recovered from the poverty and violence he forced most Romanians to endure.

Romania looked and very much looks like a normal country. Yet, our best intellectuals had been imprisoned in the "obsessive decade" (1950s) for political reasons. So, this video only shows the pretty side.

When actually did the image of Romania change so dramatically in the Western media to become the opposite of this enchanting picture in full colours ?
Now you see power of lies Tv and media?
This specific film is meant to sell you on Romania as a tourist destination. It's not a news item talking about some problem in the country, that would be out of place. British Pathé has a lot of travelogue films, and every one of them is going to be polite and have nice things to say about the place they're talking about. It's common courtesy with the format. Again, it is not the news. The news can talk about issues. This is just fluff.

@Roumania1 I'd say worse, the traffic on the Triump's Arc's roundabout is crazy nowadays and most of the ancient buildings were removed by Ceaușescu after the 1977 earthquake.
It is still nice don't get me wrong, but you can still clearly see the scars left by the old regime, scars that you don't really see in other cities' centres like Sibiu or Sighișoara.
of course it wont be the same as 55 years ago, now it's a modern metropolis with all the goods and bads of capitalism

good to know that my country at least looked good back in the days.
In the 70's everything went downwards till 1989 when communism just imploded, democracy is not perfect but still much better than the other option ...
Every country goes through crises, even the ones you consider "democracy".
While Romania is a beautiful country, it wasn't long from these images until the poverty and tragedy of our regime cought up to us.
The most prosperity and cultural achievements Romania ever experienced were during the time before ww1. Then Bucharest was truly the "little Paris".

well, I never expected to see a foreign studio create such a warm montage about my country. That's for sure.
Also, here's a cold-hard fact for those who don't know it: all of the evil that happens in this world is because of economic reasons. And the reason I am saying this is because during Ceausescu's presidency (so, in communism) Romania has been the only country in the world without external debt. And this has displeased the western countries, the empires, and the rich organizations which is why they have collaborated to strike us and dismember us into smaller territories so they can fully occupy us and and steal all of our riches (and yes, Romania is still a rich country, but please, stay in your own countries folks, there's plenty of room for living well for everyone).
''I never expected'' that's ebcause you don't know your country or the past of your country.

Well most videos only focus on the really bad side/ gypsy villages so this is fair. All nations have two sides, every good video you see on a country isn’t showing the bad sides and vice versa
My grandparent went to Romania around this time. They loved it.
I guess there was some tourism push, not sure who instigated it, the Romanian government? Or perhaps British travel companies? Or both?
Probably the trade union movement in Britain was involved also - they often organised and publicised trips to communist countries to show how the 'workers paradise' looked. In the 60s for example many left-wing British people would not visit Spain or Portugal because they were considered 'fascist'.
Господи, Майн. Год, какая жизнь была и в. Москве и в мире после войны. Рай на земле.
Before massive pollution with plastic garbage. Heart breaking.
Even though back then it was a communist dictatorship, it did a better job at promoting and preserving it's tourist attractions. But it was really just a mask to trick the foreigners into believing that all is well. It was the same strategy that North Korea also uses. Romania was Europe's North Korea at that time, there was no other country in Europe as isolated as Romania. It barely even interacted with the other communist neighbours. I am from Romania, so I'm not talking out of my ass.
Daca esti roman, stim amandoi ca Romania a fost cea mai putin periculoasa tara din cele comuniste, nu cred ca ai vazut ce dictatori malefici erau in Albania, crimele lor inca se resimt in Albania unde inca este destul de slab dezvoltata.
Romania inca nu fusese corupta de comunisti pe atunci pentru ca mai fusesera oameni care se nascusera inainte de guvernul comunist.Abia in anii 70' si '80,chiar 90',se puteau vedea efectele comunismului
