Machines are hardly shown and so the impression can arise that it would have been recorded much earlier. The film, like the b / w film "Everyday Life in Weisweil" (1939), conveys a beautiful and idyllic picture of agricultural work. However, it shows a rather atypical picture of agricultural work, which was mechanized in the 1940s, as the film "Agricultural Work" (1942) shows.

Contexte et analyse


The focus is on traditional grain harvesting in Weisweil as an idyll in the country. The farmers cut the grain with scythe and sickle and bound it into sheaves. At the beginning of this colored amateur film we see a slightly older farmer who cuts the grain with a scythe. Little by little you know the family that helps him. A woman ties the straws into sheaves, a young man holds the rope to fasten the sheaves. Everyone helps. The men cut the grain with scythes and sickles, the women tie it into sheaves and the young boys think the ropes are sheaves. Sometimes it is filmed from a distance as the farmer cuts the grain, sometimes this process is shown from very close. The farmer sharpens his scythe with a whetstone.


Again and again it is shown how strenuous and sweaty the grain harvest is. The farmer is drenched in sweat in front of the camera and dabs his forehead with a small cloth. During a short break, the family members pose for the camera, smiling. A boy brushes the farmer's horse. The scene changes and the farmer leads an ox out of the stable and clamps it in front of a large wooden cart. He drives him through the streets of the village until he finally reaches the grain field. During this time, the other family members continued to work hard. Everywhere in the field you can see the sheaves set up at home or dolls, which should still dry. The amateur film shows how all family members help the farmer to load the sheaves. The cart is located between the rows of sheaves in the field, so that you only have to lift the sheaves onto the cart with forks, where the farmer places them neatly in order to be able to transport as much as possible.
