I know some restorations to film are necessary \u2013 \u201csome\u201d being the operative word here. A film needs to be upgraded to high definition to put it on a Blu-ray disc, even if the film wasn\u2019t originally shot that way. I just looked through my Blu-ray collection, and it is mainly comprised of films that have been released in the last ten years when high-definition is the norm and with visual effects that would knock your socks off. The only Blu-ray I have that doesn\u2019t have either of these aspects is All The President\u2019s Men (1976)<\/em> because you just can\u2019t leave that on the shelf at Best Buy when it\u2019s only five dollars.<\/p>\n

I will not, however, buy Star Wars: Episodes 1-6<\/em> on Blu-ray, because that restoration just killed it for me. I can barely handle watching Return of the Jedi<\/em> (1983) on DVD because Sebastian Shaw was the true Anakin Skywalker, post-Vader. Shaw is missing in this version, and with Hayden Christensen taking his place. This was unnecessary! Even changing Boba Fett\u2019s voice to Jango\u2019s (his father\u2019s) was a change that took something away from the character. These were the only complaints I had with the DVD releases, even though I felt that the 1997 Special Editions should have been the ones to receive that DVD special treatment. Those changes, in my opinion, were necessary. I can\u2019t see myself watching fudged-out gel on the bottom of a landspeeder.<\/p>\n

When I saw the list of changes made for the Star Wars Blu-ray releases, I almost cried\u2026in anguish. Who would want to hear Darth Vader cry \u201cNooooooooooooo!\u201d as he is defeating the Emperor? And why do we need even more changes and tune-ups? I think I\u2019ll stop at the DVD and only collect the new Star Wars films on Blu-ray.<\/p>\n

Now let’s talk about black-and-white movies. They were shot in black and white, because color\u00a0film may have not been available quite yet (at least in a wide range). But black-and-white is still just as effective. I have It\u2019s a Wonderful Life<\/em> (1946) on DVD, with both the original and a colorized version available. I\u2019ve watched the black-and-white version numerous times because that\u2019s how it should be viewed. I couldn\u2019t get past the first five minutes of the colorized version, because it was too grainy and distracting. Why must this procedure be done?<\/p>\n

(3-D film is another transformation that I’m not completely on board with. You can read my thoughts about it here<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

I tried (once) with King Kong<\/em> (1933), and it just looked like a cheap B-movie. But this movie is so much better than that. The \u201clook\u201d of a film is one of the most important aspects of it because that\u2019s the first impression of the picture. Black-and-white may lack color, but is that a big deal? The picture and performances are still there, and in great clarity. Orson Welles even said that black-and-white \u201cis an actor\u2019s best friend,\u201d because it focused more on the actor\u2019s feelings and expressions.<\/p>\n

Colorized version: very distracting, limited choices, and too pale. Source: Classic Horror Film Board.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While this would be the case in the old black-and-whites, movies have evolved into color since then. Sure, The Wizard of Oz<\/em> (1939) is in both aspects: the sepia tone when Dorothy is in Kansas and bright, rich colors after she lands in Oz. This is an exception to my argument since this was originally the purpose of the story and cinematography. Gone With the Wind<\/em> (1939) is dazzling in color, too. I can\u2019t fathom watching these two films completely in black and white. It would serve no purpose, just like adding color to black and white. If it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it. Or better yet, if it ain\u2019t broke, why break it?!<\/p>\n

Happy watching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
