when i see old yiddish movies from the 1920s it always cracks me up . everyone is always dressed in the "hip" "cool" clothes of the times. unfortunately what was "hip" and "cool" then was quite different from what is "hip" and "cool" then.
so often we try to keep up with the culture and be fashionable and then even just ten years later what was then cool is now uncool.
i am frum, but i also find secular culture enjoyable. secular culture changes while the torah stays the same. for better or for worse, this truism cannot be seen more clearly than in an old yiddish movie
