hello to my subscribers and two others who are watching this.

to 不定詞

I'm David Hoffman, filmmaker, and I've been making films for 57 years, and there's something I've learned that I want to share with you That's super important.

Okay, the subject is legacy is what to leave your kids, your grandkids, all the members of your family that you care about.

I've been filming people since I was 20 so that there are films I've made, where the films are now being shown by grand parents to the grandchildren and the kids just love it.

Like Oprah once said, If you don't know your roots, if you don't know where you came from, your less ableto understand yourself.

And there's been some recent scientific research that shows that genetically we carry memory from previous generations, particularly trauma, but other things as well.

So we end up having these anxieties or other feelings that we can't really understand, especially when we're teenagers, early young adults, and we're trying to figure out that actually come from people before us.

So I have some experiences that lead me to share with you that you've got to record the legacy of your loved ones and your own.

I was filming the parents of a guy who hired me to record the parents, and the parents are going around the house and they're in their eighties and they're talking about the furniture like this thing, like when I get it like, Why do I have it if not one of the Children being left with when you were the loved one, you're filming passes on money, money?

To the people who made it, things is a thing.

Two generations later, it doesn't mean anything.

You know, I was on eBay recently, and I noticed families selling the family album, the photo albums from Grandma visiting Yosemite in the 19 fifties.

This is your family history because our grandkids, because our kids, because we don't know anything about it, says Grandma visits Yosemite.

Leaving legacy of values, leaving legacy of ethics, living legacy off Why you or the person you're interviewing did something meaningful that might mean something to 2345 generations down the road.

I'm going to tell you in this video a bit about how to do it, because I think it's so important.

Well, before I share that, let me just say The Alzheimer's Association says that when people have early stage Alzheimer's, these memories kind of spur their mind and they share things and they feel better.

In fact, in general, I find people feel better when they share memories.

That may mean something to somebody else.

First of all, have a kid with you have somebody who's 18 or younger alongside you.

When you're talking to the person like I'm talking to you that you put the camera up on and bring that young person.

I was recently doing an interview, and the person says, Well, when we were kids, we went to the soda fountain.

They say 5 to 10 years from now will people know what the cell phone is?

These technologies go So you gotta cannot ignore those details or ask about them and deal with the big issues.

When you were young and you fell in love is that hard?

Did you fall in love more than once when you were making all this money?

That that you're gonna leave to the people after you?

Is another one when you were young, Tell me about the mistakes you made.

Because what I find is generations later somebody's listening to this who made the same mistakes.

And I have a really good one in that respect.

My grandfather ran a hospital in Providence when he was out of the military.

And I'm looking at this book printed at the 100th anniversary of this hospital.

And I see 23 pages on my grandfather, whom I didn't know and I'm reading it and it's me.

I'm seeing things about how we fought the establishment when he became head of the hospital, how he fought the board of directors, issues the Ford about them.

Say, Wow, those of the same issues I care about.

So what I'm talking to you about is about issues, values, good things and bad things.

Because it may be embarrassing to the person, and sometimes it's embarrassing to the family.

Family wants to paint these kind of George Washington cut down the tree, and he had couldn't tell a lie, so he had to tell the truth.

Now, when I heard that story when I was a kid, I knew this story was not riel because nobody's like that.

Everybody does things wrong, and that's a part of the story.

So you put up this camera and you pushed a button and you sit behind the camera and you talk to the person and just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk hours, as we used to say, videos cheap.

Whatever you've got, you know when I was on the third hour off my mother's interview that was done 40 years ago, 45 years ago, she died of cancer and I was recording legacy because I knew that someday I'd have more Children and that those Children will want to know their grandma.

So what about our to my mother starts asking me questions.

So the interaction between my mother and me behind the camera and in front of the camera is really powerful.

And my Children, who never knew their grandmother, have gotten so much out of that.

In fact, it's the most priceless thing my family has.

You know the story when you leave the house.

Well, everybody's gonna take that DVD and the USB and their computer because that's got this memory on it.

What I tell everybody is, Are you nervous people in front of the camera?

If you were a chicken, it's my chickens on that side of the house giving me eggs.

Also tell people that talking to the future this is not the present.

Some of you may know you're talking to the future.

You want people to think about 50 years from now, 60 years from now.

What do they want their descendants to think?

That's what to be asking about asking about the future.

Put everything in the context of the future.
