HONOLULU HAWAII 1969 TRAVELOGUE WITH JACK DOUGLAS 32600 HD

1969 was the year I moved to Hawaii with my family. I was 9 years old. This video brought back memories of those days....I miss them.

I want to go back to oahu of the 1960's Too damned crowded on this island today

Looks way better and less overcrowded back in the day than now.

I was born there in '59 loved seeing the era I wish to go back to🌴🌊🌴🌊

When you truly watch this Movie, you can get a true understanding how perfect and nice Honolulu, & Hilo, and the outer Islands were just perfect the way they were!! If they only could have put a Hight Restriction on the High Rise Buildings then we might have still had a perfect Place today! No the Greed of the developer's to Just Build, Build & Build only to make money.....$$$$$... thats all the could See -Sad , Sad, Sad... Boy do I miss how it was when I was there as a Boy.......

the narrator has a very pleasant voice and manner

I left Hawaii in 1953 to complete my last two years in college. Waikiki had only four hotels if you include the Halekulani. When I return in 1955. it was wall to wall hotels. I left never to return.

So much has changed in Hawai’i, and (largely) not for the better. But it’s easy to forget that, compared to earlier times, Hawai’i had already experienced dramatic changes by 1969. History tends to play that trick upon us, especially when we look at these “snapshot” moments. Nostalgia also plays a role in how we view the Past. A person with firsthand memories will see the Past differently than someone born years later. There’s so much to take apart in this video: the butchered pronunciations, the over generalizations, the Americanism, the whiteness, gender, you name it. In 2021, you don’t need a PhD to see that this “travelogue” is a dated and stereotypical view of Hawai’i from the “haole” perspective. But I think this says more about our own time than it says about the Past. Hawai’i has changed. It will always keep changing. And we can never go back to the way things were. We chart a different course. Aloha 🙏🏼🤙🏼

Greed destroyed Oahu. The same is now taking place in Maui. I pray that Kauai and Da Big Island stay true to Hawaii and maybe Oahu and Maui will revert back to its pureness.

I have never heard a man less excited about anything than Jack Douglas is about a holiday in Hawaii.

thank you for posting this

It’s kinda crazy that this film was made 4 years before I was born, and those opening shots of Waikiki don’t look all that different from now. People can say what they want, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world. If I could move to 1 city...it would be to move to Hilo, on the Big Island. That’s my all-time favourite city, period. 😁

Hey all my family remember when. Many of the old places not changed just like the old days. Hope you can enjoy.

It would have been really nice if the narrator learned to pronounce the Hawaiian names correctly. All in all it's a beautiful tribute

What a revealing narrative.

That's the way Oahu looked when I lived there. We arrived in 65' , left in 68' then returned for 2 years. Dad was Air Force. I have seen recent videos of Honolulu and it's hard to recognize it. I hate to see all the skyscrapers taking over for a view of Diamond Head. The man doing the talking on this film mispronounced many of the names of the Hawaiian locations and landmarks.

5:53 Hmmm... some high-rise developer RUINED the diamond-head view with his stupid condo he's building. They shouldn't have approved it.

いいですねー！ この時代のホノルルにも行ってみたいですね！

Beautiful

My Hawai‘i. Enjoy
