Is this really an appropriate costume design for 1951?

Is this really an appropriate costume design for 1951?

i'm pretty sure rome was destroyed by 1951

Yes. Stop being a homosexual

i like boobs so yes, it was

Why do you hate beauty, OP?
Are you some sandnigger by chance?
Yes you are. Yes you are.

Don't be ridiculous. This was filmed in Rome in 1949.

What did the audiences think about such nudity back then?

They didn't, the practical resolution of a projected movie (meaning what you actually see sitting in the theater) is closer to 480p than anything, you couldn't see that nipple in the DVD either. It's interesting how 4K scans of older movies just make them entirely different experiences.

Wow, you unironically blew my mind.
So that's why Leia walks braless in ANH...

I'm only gonna ask this once:
Why are there so many different breast types? Is it genetics or what?

motherfucker, you mean i could see Doris Day's nipples in 4K?

there's a world of difference between a beat up film reel projected in a theatre in real time and a 4k blu ray on an oled display that can be paused and zoomed in and disseminated

Thats what Im saying though, Those projectors would've had top-tier glass lens for projection. pic related probably weights 10lbs or more. Theaters were small then too, so its not you needed to throw the projected image 100' like modern theaters

they didn't have the Hays Code in Italy

yeah there are a ton of old movies that are extremely revealing because of modern screen resolution

veronica lake in i married a witch for example

she does have a kind of revealing top in that one

Veronica Lake had a pretty sad life. She lost a baby in a miscarriage or something and never psychologically recovered from it so she became an alcoholic and died at only 50 years old.

The joke, your head.

It's great for titty shots, but it's also the reason why a lot of special effects in older movies don't work nowadays. Something that used to be pretty cool though were all the theories that came up from movies being a bit fuzzy. For the longest time people argued that there was a hanged munchkin in one of the sets in The Wizard of Oz (because of course it had to be the most retarded idea possible), but with newer scans we can see that it's a bird that snuck on set. Other movies like Texas Chainsaw are actually benefitted by the shittiness of VHS, and are less fun to watch in 4K.

Her son was born prematurely because she tripped and fell in an accident on a movie set and died soon afterwards. Yet she had 3 other perfectly healthy children but was unable to get over this loss and it eventually completely destroyed her life and career.

that sucks. sometimes you need to let things go.

moron

is that Deborah Kerr?

Veronica Lake

this is very sad...STOP POSTING SAD ON MY Anon Babble

veronica lake in sullivan's travels, specifically the scene when she thinks he's dead and the hollywood producers are taking to her and she doesn't hear them because she's basically catatonic with grief, is a fundamental building block in my formative idea of what a woman is and what love is

The 50s is when the Supreme Court ruled that movies were protected under the First Amendment. The Hays code was put in place by Hollywood in the ‘30s to protect itself from possible government restrictions. After the ruling movies slowly started to get less censored and by the late 60s it was over

oh my goodness doris nip is showing in 4k

veronica lake

Yes.

35mm translates to 5k resolution.

A complete list would be...Biblical.

read this you fucking moron

Quo Vadis

No need to be a dick.

nice nips on this one

no what happened was states and municipalities were a patchwork of different and contradictory obscenity laws that made it an absolute PITA to distribute movies nationwide so they decided to just censor everything to avoid this issue. that was ended in the 60s-70s when the courts struck down most obscenity laws and basically limited the definition of "obscenity" to CP.

That's what people wore during Xena times

Did some places have good lenses? Yes. Did the average local theater you went to see a flick at have them? No.
He's talking about making out detail at that viewing distance. Once a picture is far enough away your eyes aren't strong enough to make out any further clarity. A 480p digital film could be projected on a screen and a 4k digital film could be projected on the same one and if you're in the theater seats your eyes won't see a distinction. Yes, for preservation purposes film is superior and could, in theory, be used to make 10k+ resolution projections of old films, but it won't mean anything unless you're a foot away from the screen.

Quo Vadis
actress is Deborah Kerr
