When I watch old films I'm shocked by how bright outdoor scenes are.

This is incredibly racist.
>>
>>222877315
That’s because old films used to go crazy with colorization and technicolor to get people in seats to see the color picture. It was in the marketing even.

>>222877315
People used to go outside so it was harder to sell the idea that the world is a mess of dark dimmed blue shades (unless it's Mexico/Arabland where it's dimmed orange shades).

>The White Nationalist Dog Whistle behind the belief old movies looked better

>Despite all the progress made in the last decade, mcuh more work needs to be done for diversity, and representation of minority groups. But online white nationalists, blinded by bigotry and misogyny, wishes that movies should look like they did in their grand parents days. Blinded by contrarianism for an idealized fake world that never existed, they wish to erase marginalized voices.

You gotta play their game, and then double down on it and do a better job. Their "marginalized voices" are themselves and their buddies: they're rich middle class kids with student debt they need paid off. Their #1 priority is to get jobs for themselves, not to help any underprivledged class.

I watch all my movies on my pc.

75hz monitor, i could change it to 72 to reduce stuttering but i don't.
Blue light filter is set to strong at all times.
Monitor is at like 10 on the brightness (out of 100).
Normal normalization is on, system wide.

The skies in old movies are actually blue
Look at any movie made in the last few years and the sky will almost always be grey, even if it's supposed to be a bright cloudless day
>>
>>222880709
It is, and i call it the overcast sky problem. It's because of the desaturation, dimming, and tinting, all in the name of "cinematic" look.

So are they actually shooting this on a cloudy day? It can't just be them fucking around with the levels and stuff.

You look at the old movie >>222880943 and every object has a bright yellowish highlight on the top and hard shadows on the ground, both of which are absent in the new movie.

No, these are bright sunny days. They have a whole color grading process and intentionally make the films like this.

>>222880953
notice how everyone is in focus in the original movie, and how the second movie uses depth of field to blur everything but Sandler?

That's why movies look like shit now, it's not the fault of digital, it's the excessive use of DoF. Colorgrading is also terrible but that can at least be fixed with a remaster. Everything being blurred making it look like a commercial is harder to fix
>>
>>222877444
OP's example basically has zero colour correction.

>>222881118
'person in focus with blurred activity behind them' always makes me think of shows like Hoarders and Trading Spaces and all those 'reality' TV shows where people do their little testimonials to the camera as things happen

The sky in the most of movies since 2011 is closer to gray- teal- green than blue.
And occasionally you get a fucking green sky.

Tried fixing it. The sky is still too overexposed but oh well.

Besides color grading framing and blocking are also a lost art. I'm gonna presume that the camera is tracking the guy on the horse, but it is for some reason at roof level, too high to be from the POV of a guy on a horseback. It makes the scene completely intangible, more like a cutscene than a real movie. It's why imo helicopter shots look better than drone shots.
>>
>>222881471
It's impossible to fix shitty color grading, no matter how much you will tinker with sliders and histograms. You deal with lost information. It's the same as trying to fix a wrong exposure in a photo.

color has always been a post production effort. they have lost some skills over the years but the modern movies are dark and shitty because thats what they want them to look like, not because they cant make it bright and happy.

Yes, LOST technology.

Every single time there's a "don't worry, here's a modern film that has nice colors!" and you check the specs, it's always shot on 35mm film. Every god damn time. yes, there's a few times there will be a throwback film, but they can't do it with digital. It's all lost tech.
>>
>>222882160
I mean you can go on youtube right now and watch a vibrant video with blue skies that was shot on digital. It's not lost tech, it's just for whatever reason uniformity has become a massive meme in hollywood, probably largely thanks to David Fincher, every shot has to be "balanced" you can't have too wide of a color gamut, you can't have intense contrast ratios, it needs to look "filmic" aka uniform.
>>
>>222881976
I made an experiment with my old 2003 digital camera I still have at home (in 2003 the sun was yellow, everything was better, etc). The same place as 20 years ago, noon, afternoon, sunset. There IS a slight shift in the sun color. Probably less particles in the air, like dust, pollutants, pollen, etc. Either way, schizos are right about this one.

Not only is it washed out, but all the colors are gone. Everyoen wears black like they're nuns, or brown because it's leather?

Why would they assume that people of the apst wouldn't have as much color as people of today would have? Why would there be an obsession with browns and blacks? Why? It's only a few choice colors, like purple, because they needed to find special dyes made from snails or some shit, but that's the exception rather than the norm.

That also applies to modern stuff. You won't see a character in modern movies wearing bright clothes unless there's a wacky reason. Marty McFly's red vest would be too distracting for modern film makers.

Thing that really grinds my gears is when it's supposedly very cold but the weather never looks right.
When it gets very cold (around -30c) the sky is usually extremely blue to the point where it looks unreal, and as the temperature keeps going down you get this cold mist as the last remnants of humidity turns to ice.

I think there's some weird misunderstanding that people in the medieval times dressed like monks, and they just have conflated monks with everyone else. Like they think they prayed all the time, dressed in dull colors, lived meek and humble lives. Monks are probably the best known medieval image that they can conquor up, so they just go with that.

Sunlight has been white the whole time, but there is a small difference if you live in a dense urban environment because the air is cleaner in most first world cities today than in 2000 (there is no industry in the middle of cities anymore, polluting heating systems are banned, less car travel and with six millions filters on exhaust).

Also what I saw. honestly the sky - what tiny bit you can see - is more blue in the newer film, just a lighter shade.
Older film is warmer, more pink in the sky. It also has a lot more color contrast and variety. Pinks and reds and yellows in the shirts and the brown gator contrasting with all the green and Sandler's lighter clothes.
The newer one is just white and green, with a blue Sandler and blue scoreboard centered.

Night scenes were a mixed bagged between actually pitch black except for foreground objects and clearly shot during the day but then had the exposure fucked with.
Modern night scene are all blue and I hate it.

IMO it's similar to how high framerates are viewed as cheap soap opera slop; natural colors became seen as amateurish and color grading became associated with cinematic techniques, visual storytelling, blah blah blah.
