Have you noticed that the colors in 90s films are more pleasant and vibrant than modern movies?

Colour schemes were more varied with less aggressive grading, and more naturalistic and pleasing colour palettes.

Now everything has some shitty filter.

Everything was better in 90s films. Music, colors, sound, dynamic range, dialog, cinematography, continuity, timing, pacing. Literally everything.
Take the absolute best film of the 2010s in the above terms. It would have been considered ABSOLUTE DIARRHEA SHIT tier in the 90s.

I knew that in my lifetime people would remember the 90s with rose colored glasses. I thought I would be 50 years old though.

The jack reacher films maintain that crisp, solid 90s aesthetic. Based Cruise knows what's up.

It's surprising how short of a time it took for everything to become total shit isn't it. I'm 29 and basically have no hope for the future.

He's not wrong about the electronic though, it was pretty good.

city street lights are yellow

everything was better then, nostalgia is not a bias

what people don't realize is that just because you cannot appreciate the present without contrast from the future, doesn't mean it's not objectively better from a hindsight perspective -- no one could realistically appreciate those times when they were the present, but now that they are in the past and we know what the future was gonna be like from there on out we see the full extend of what we had and what we lost and the absolute fucking shit show we're saddled up with now, you can unironically consider those the good old times because they are, and if you could time travel back to that period knowing then what you know now it would absolutely be much better

sadly the dystopia we're headed towards will do the same with the 2010s as the 2010s did with the 90s, 80s etc -- as shitty as these times are, and they really are shitty, the 2020s and the 2030s and so on will be orders of magnitude worse and we'd wish to fuck to get back to our present day

About fifteen years ago or around that, a new digital editing software came out, and one of its default settings was orange vs blue color balance. In that period a dozen of the cookie cutter Hollywood blockbusters were all in orange (through yellows) or blue. A blogger showed several unedited screengrabs next to one of the program with the exact same shades set.

Digital color grading first gained prominence in the early 2000's.

Movies like JP and T2 are such fucking kino, they're exceptions. They raised the bar for everybody else. Truly special when they came out, still endlessly pleasant today. The innovative CGI was the cherry on top of traditional good filmmaking craft and creative storytelling. They still feel special. Do you remember what it felt like to be able to see these movies at home when the first high quality tv screens and DVD players came out to replace VHS and CRTs? Those were the movies you could use to showcase and sell the tech. It was mind blowing. Now all the big blockbusters rely heavily on CGI to carry the spectacle, and they're all manufactured in the same soulless mold with poor filmmaking and storytelling. We have 4K and Bluray but I also feel no enthusiasm from watching newer movies in quality conditions at home.

This is false, there was always a process involved when developing the film which gave the movie a specific colour palette, even the stock was chosen based on its colours.

Fucking hacks think "we gotta have the whole scene blue so it will be sad!".

Blue/Cyan and Orange/Bronze are complementary. Making everything blue will really bring the orange out. See how the details of Sarah's face on a blue background stand's out in It's some weird contrasty thing that makes both colors really oppose each other and thus make more of an impact. You could literally use any opposing colors for a similar effect, but the orange is the closest thing to skin color.
This is, incidentally, why Spray-tan (Including you know who's) tends to be orange.
That doesn't explain shit like , where everything is blue.
My theory on that is simple: I had a friend who was red-green colorblind but did video editing back when we still used RGB cables. One day his red cable came loose and was not connected to the tape deck, but he didn't notice until somebody else watched the video he made and asked why it was so green.

people are generally the opposite color of blue. We're warm blooded and fleshy.

No and you're fucking retarded and blind if you actually think this

Grading used to have be done per-reel from the negative (even dailies needed to be graded this way). It was incredibly time-consuming and expensive to maintain consistency as it was a chemical process, so very few films went with a "processed" look. Digital workflows completely eliminated this barrier and now directors spend almost as much time fiddling with the look of their films as they do on principle shooting.

In short: it was because of film.

Holy shit is this real? Lmao.

I really hate the blue tint that gets slapped onto everything. People think if the scene is sad, set in someplace cold, or 'dark' in tone, then the entire fucking picture needs to be blue to reflect it. As if the emotions can't come through in more natural light and colours. Ughhh

Film vs digital doesn’t really matter, George was right about that. You can’t find a single compelling technical arguement In this thread about any actual identifiable differences. Theres lots of movies shot on film that look like absolute shit, in fact I would say most of the films ever shot on film looked like absolute shit. You just need your own Sven Nykvist to make everything look really good, Tarkovsky made his best looking film with Sven’s work. It’s all about the talent of the cinematographer. Color and all that stuff is honestly an afterthought, set design, ‘atmosphere’, misè en scene, rhythm that’s what makes all the difference, not how fucking ‘pretty’ something looks espically when everyone’s watching things on almost radically different equipment.

Have you never seen Fight Club? Any David Fincher films from the 90s? Those kinds of shots weren't unccomon.

It's the monitors. Tube monitors at their peaks did color better than LCD and plasma ones did. Plus film captures color better than digital does just as it captures resolution better.

The tech effects the color, which is why for Dukes Of Hazard they painted the General Lee in a GM color that's nearly red and called "carnival red" just to make it appear as light-to-medium orange on TV.

>when you can't comprehend hyperbole

The one time where the new version is better

The Sentimentalism of Verdi or Puccini is probably the most frequently used form of film scoring. It is to sound what filters are to vision.

Romanticism... Chopin, Schumann, Wagner, generally derided or used ironically.

Realism emphasized the role of race-over-environment (in contrast with Naturalism), which is largely why Mascagni is opted for in films like the Godfather.

Decadence might be associated with Edgar Allen Poe or Mahler, attach it to Expressionism and you have something like Hitchcock or Tim Burton.

Some mind control shit.

The top one, because all the scenes in the matrix had a deliberate green filter to emphasise that they're artificial. Scenes in the real world lost that filter. It's a deliberate artistic choice that the rerelease ruins.

Watching movies is such a pleb pastime.

welp, time to rewatch Commando

The quality of the CGI models are inferior to modern CGI but the animation work in JP is superior to anything that's made today including the JW movies. Such a pity.

Nope, more like late 70s/80s.

People will slam you for this, but it's the correct opinion. 70's and 80's had better films on the whole, but 90's was the absolute peak of practical analogue film technology. T2, Seven, Fight Club, Heat, Starship Troopers, etc are all examples of technical and practical excellence coupled with limited, high-quality and intelligent application of nascent CGI technology.

For me, the film that heralded the new age of everything looking like a video game cutscene was Terminator 3. Go and watch the making-of materials for that film, it's utterly disgusting how many things were CGI that would have been easier, cheaper and better-looking as practical gags. Listening to the soibois at ILM talking about their work on the film, it's clear they convinced the director and producers to adopt digital effects on that scale purely to undermine practical and in-camera effects.

That would be the late 70's and 80's. 90's electronica is mostly garbage.

The 90s were the peak of western civilization. It goes without saying that the movies would be leak as well

>Spend 150 years carefully perfecting a chemical process that exactly captures reality on transparent film
It doesn't though. Film has an artificial look. A look that's objectively beautiful but it doesn't look like real life.

Jim always contrasted warm sunny colours for human moments (see: Mexican compound, gas station, etc in T2) with cold steely blues for the future war scenes. In scenes with interactions between the Terminator and humans (T1) or Terminator vs Terminator (T2), the palette becomes darker and contrasts blue with another strong colour of artificial light - purple, red, fire colours, for example. I actually didn't mind the T2 4K colour grading watching it in the theatre in 3D, because it essentially corrects for the colour and brightness distortion of the 3D glasses. On home theatre, however, it looks like ass.

It's a meme opinion but I genuinely believe that's actually the mid-80's. The early 90's were the last gasp, the rest of the 90's were the nadir, and September 11, 2001 nailed the coffin shut. If you can make god bleed, and all that.

Because in the 90s they actually left their homes to make movies, now everything including the costumes are all digital in front of a green screen.

That's nice and all but Terminator 3 was preceded by The Spirits Within, Attack of the Clones and LoTR: The Two Towers. Those movies were already pushing CGI and digital filmmaking (even though AoTC and Two Towers both had extensive practical work).

Pug Pug, Pug nosed face

Stupid philistine

Filmmaking is more expensive than it used to be so I'm not surprised nobody leaves their LA soundstages anymore. In the 70s and 80s directors like McTiernan or Friedkin would drag their crews to latin american jungles but that was back when a dollar bought you twice as much as it does today.

Spirits Within is one of the few good examples of CGI as artistry to this day. LotR was far more practical than digital, and what digital was there was extremely competently done by some of the best people ever to work in the industry.

AotC is not bad because of CGI - far more of that film is practical than you would ever imagine - but because Lucas threw the dice on using completely untested, and in all honestly, completely unfit, digital camera technology from Sony to speed up the production pipeline. Everything wrong with AotC visually stems from that camera choice and their effects compositing pipeline. It's a double-edged sword, because Lucas opened the door to a lot of young, penniless filmmakers by driving the adoption of digital cameras into filmmaking, and as the cameras have gotten better some directors (Fincher, Villeneuve, for example) have used them to great effect. Sadly it also ushered in an era of film photography from clueless hacks who don't understand the principles of how a camera works and how to get the best out of it, who think they can fix everything in post.

Post the audio version. I'll wait.

This. I don't watch movies shot on digital anymore. It's not film.

what film is this?

Prequels look pretty good in b&w.

I think the gaudy colours and how the cg compsots poorly mesh with the practical is largely to blame. The actual images and individual items look pretty good.

90s movies had a red and green saturation filter

With today's technology I don't doubt for a second that they could recreate the film look flawlessly, but people tend to forget that the films used as examples in this thread were the cream of the crop, for every such film there were 10 that looked like shit. In a few decades people will look back with nostalgia for current movies, once the shitflicks has been filtered out and the defining films of this decade have been established. On it goes.

Never saw the hobbit, is there any non whites in it?

If you want to see people who hate the 90's with a passion, come to Russia

The re-remastered version of The Terminator looks pretty fucking amazing.

JUST use a VCR to copy your bluerays to VHS

String Implants are absolutely good a step below that would be saggy implants

Depending on the filmmaker's intent, the window behind could have been just as well lit and detailed if it was originally filmed/lit as blue, but whoever corrected that works in a computer lab, not with a Camera. These days, colors are all done in post by people who learned software and not photography or color theory, and of course remasters for dvd/bluray are too. is bang-on. The film was originally shot to have the orange sun and the orange light coming in, but whoever corrected it has no idea why.

Someone already pointed out, this was a post-hoc fix after the sequels came out. The original film and the original DVD don't have a green tint to them.

Haha it must look better when it was finished. I heard it was rushed etc. But is it a decebt story? Any black elves or shit like that?

>there is a profound lack of talent, passion and soul (meme buzz word that applies here) in the look of modern films.
That's because any boob with an automatic camera and bit-torrent can learn how to use them in their off time, so the executives are going either with the cheapest, or the closest to home -within their own circles- "talent", rather than looking for the ones who really put time and effort into learning their craft.

I heard there's a couple of black extras in Laketown but I never even noticed them. They're pretty bad films though, full of shit like this.

Holy fuck that is terrible. How did that happen?

>pleasing
Modern things aren't allowed to please, or rather, they aren't allowed to aim to improve morale of men anymore. You think we are getting an inspiring epic like Bridge on the River Kwai ever again?

You can blame the coen brothers for this shit when they released o brother where art thou and made history with color grading

now everyone does this shit and everyone got lazy.
