remember when movies used to be colorful?
Remember when movies used to be colorful?
no?
I've recommended Hail Caesar to a couple of people solely because of the color during the movies within the movie scenes.
Yeah. I'm not a fan of how dark the lighting is in a lot of more recent stuff either, I want to be able to clearly see the thing even if it's not totally realistic. Unless they're going for realism like found footage or something that's ok
there is a blue tint over every image
we need to go back
B-but muh filters!
Yeah.
real life used to be more colorful
Grace photographed well, of course, but even so, still shots don't do her justice.
Her best feature was her smile. She had a really warm, spontaneous, genuine smile and laugh, and you only get that properly in video. (See for example the footage of the 1955 & 1956 Oscars.)
I don't think she can have been faking it all — she simply wasn't that good an actress. So you get the impression she was a friendly and pleasant person.
blue is a color
Depressed people see color less, Colorless media makes people depressed. It's social engineering.
TV shows from the Sixties like Batman and Star Trek were also blasted with colors to take advantage of color TVs. Now directors don’t even bother with color grading and lighting because they know their product is content, not art.
Does looking at colour make you less depressed?
yes, that's why going outside is generally considered helpful for improving your mendal helf
Some directors have a definite liking for colour.
Wes Anderson obviously springs to mind.
(I don't think he's a very good advertisement for the style though because his films are generally woke crap.)
Zoomers love filters in movies
It's why even older movies like terminator or aliens get blue filter because normies love that shit
what bothers me even more is how most modern movies and tv shows are underexposed and poorly lit that you cannot see anything
When they want a 60s retro feel these days, the first thing they do is spark up the colour palette. Look at that 2015 Man From Uncle for example. Or Mad Men, etc.
Colour is for children and things being bland and colourless is for adults, obviously.
Dim lighting is the visual counterpart of mumbled dialogue. In the 1940s/50s, people articulated clearly. Then Brando came along and talked as if he had a mouthful of mashed potato and everyone swooned over him. They thought it was more real or some such nonsense, as if films were real life. I guess mumbled dialogue peaked in the 1970s but you still get quite a lot of it.
The twin brother of dim lighting is shaky cam I suppose.
they are all made with HDR in mind.
Which ofc looks like extremely dark garbage on non HDR10+ display methods
What if I simply look outside, that should have the same effect
It looks like shit with HDR too. In fact most HDR stuff looks like shit, HDR is a meme technology for the most part, almost nobody that uses it uses it properly. It's like Raytracing, it's a massive piece of shit that can at best look marginally better but usually just makes everything worse.
Blame Roger Deakin and his colour grade. Everyone trying to emulate him poorly. No one can light in artificial light anymore. Sitcoms were lit properly but streaming killed the sitcom and there's no one experienced in artificial lighting. Fucking Ozark.
name?
how many HDR10 tv sets do even reach 1000 nits?

Deakins is brilliant.
The Dune movies were not shot by Deakins.
They look awful.
Nothing reaches 1000nits full-field and sustained. 10% window peaks of 2500 nits are possible with the new oleds and mini led
Cherbourg for not Technicolor related film. Gone With The Wind is peak Technicolor kino of the highest order.
peak Technicolor kino
that would be these films
Who pronounces Monaco as "muh KNOCK oh"? What a loon.
I honestly believe left looks cheap and that a lot of 70s films had this hideous flat look about them on par with how modern films look but inverted.
i remember
1000nits full-field and sustained
didnt said that
my point is most modern movies are graded for Rec2020 and 1000 nits tho
well yes, Herzog's Nosferatu was a cheap production
Coppola's Dracula should be the one to compare Eggsman's Nosferatu
You're completely wrong.
mumbled dialog is not real. you've been trained to watch videos with subtitles on tik tok and now you have lost you ability to discern speech as well. this is a component of medical hearing loss that every zoomer has now.
Well who stole the colors? Who is the main perpetrator
Cool it with the antisemitism.
OP needs to watch more kino
Solid flick
