…and unless you hear the original music from a hand cranked grammephone, it’s just not the same…
Trinity and Beyond was the first film that really brought home the potentual of recolored film photography. In the gorgeous hi res full color explosions I could see why the authorities might be so keen to plat with these deadly new toys. If the film had been “more true” to the original photography, it wouldn’t have had nearly the impact.
When Ted Turner was piss ing people off by colorizing classic movies, they were films that lots of people had already seen in the original monochrome. There are most likely no surviving audience members of the original today, this is not what you’d call a modern classic. So it seems pretty innocuous to try to make it more watchable with color. The hard core hipsters who turn their noses up at this can always just go to Antarctica themselves, since everyone knows film can’t do justice to the original.
