Just Take It In

It's very difficult to write a review for this because it's just a beautiful piece of what life was in Brooklyn 70 years ago (as of the time I am writing this). No narration or any hidden agenda or anything. Just great shots of the fine people of a different time. It's probably the most serene and relaxing 15 minutes I've had doing anything in the past 20 years. And if you have kids - see if you can get them to watch it. My parents did that with me with a few movies similar to this and I'm glad they did.
