Should have been shot in black and white
Or converted to black and white.
shareColor added a lot to this film
shareWell they did go to B/W in the most excellent 'The Man Who Wasn't There'...
One of their best looking films and one cinematographer Roger Deakins says has his favorite sequence ..... Big Dave and Ed at the office at night.
What about the trees in the Crossing ....I like the color..and some of the Art Deco interiors with their pretty pinks which provides a nice backdrop if you're going to be flattened by a dame on the make.
I'll have to check that out. Didnt know it was in B&W. Im sure its awesome.
They do have a unique use of color tho that really is top notch. I though No Country For Old Men exemplifies that. Specifically when Antwuan shoots Woody Harrelson's character, blood seeps onto the woodfloor, barely touching Antwuan's boot. The color and texture is something else.
For Millers Crossing, i think it wouldve been a little too cliche in B&W. But thats me.
A lot people won't watch anything in black and white or with subtitles. More for me I say.
You could probably adjust the TV to see it in black and white if you wanted. I also don't like colorized old movies. They look crummy. I am seeing a lot of colorized documentary footage of WWI and WWII these days. All because people won't watch black and white.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

This is what I do for this film and now I can't watch it in color.
The only other show/movie I ever did that with was "Boardwalk Empire" but after the first 2 seasons I felt like I was missing out by not watching it in color the first time around.

I'd love to see you in the moonlight with your head thrown back and your body on fire. share
^^^ Right Here... I've always noticed use of color in No Country. Its as if you can see the 80s placed onto the screen. Not sure how they pulled it off(Other than Deakins knowing every trick)... Even the scenes when Anton is following people during the day. The road, the sky... All of it looks different in some way. I can't put my finger on it.
