Why colors in 90's movies are more pleasant and vibrant than present movies?
>>68939240
there was a lot of acid going around
Fashion tendencies were different. Also directors didn't completely fuck up the movies by adding unnecessary filters
>>68939240
replaced by cgi ?
It's mostly the film stock made in that time, but it also matched the optimism of the decade. 70s were gritty and unclear, post 9/11 things got darker and more dreary.
>>68939240
no disgusting orange and teal color grading
9/11
>>68939240
Film vs digital, more post production and cgi.
I believe Snyder lead this new trend of MUH GRITTY SATURATION with 300
Even Matrix trilogy isn't that bad, but it became the norm somehow.
I'm positive it hides imperfections specially with lighting, and directors are lazy fucks that just go with the flavornof the month style that had made money, só why bother with something different?

Swordfish and that blue filtered mel gibson movie comes to mind also

Jurassic Park in theaters was supposed to look more like it's 3D remaster rather than how you remember it.
>>68939375
On the flipside though you've also got your Michael Bay types cranking the saturation up to ludicrous degrees.
Because digital footage can be a nightmare to colour and light correct. Easier to slap a filter that hides all the mistakes made during filming.
>>68939240
>depending on screenshots from digital, color corrected home media
Pro-tip: that's not how it looked in the theaters in 1993
>>68939711
No, there was definitely a trend in the 90s for rich color palettes. I see it all the time, even if "pleb" movies like Rush Hour
>>68939444
>not like this
>>68939750
>I see it all the time
Yes, on digital, color corrected home media
>>68939240
Pulp fiction, fifth element, forest gump, home alone, just to name a few
>>68939750
home media ruined movies
>>68939760
For films made in the 90s, rarely before or after. Why are you insisting it's some alteration?
>>68939886
Why are you depending on digital, color corrected home media?
I remember having to turn the colour up on this movie when I owned the VHS, might be the picture you're looking at.
>>68939240
WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE
Weren't they Jeeps in the original? That front end looks like a blazer or maybe a bronco
What the fuck is going on? I DEMAND ANSWERS! SOMETHING IS AMISS AND NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED!
>>68939912
What are you using for reference? Faded prints you half remember seeing 20 years ago?
>>68940030
All I'm saying is that it's stupid to use color corrected home media as evidence that that's how the picture looked originally.

That's so a 1970s drug

I really enjoy how this looks.
>inb4 bbc
>>68940014
That's how they always looked like, what did you think? That you're remembering something from a prior existence before the universe changed? Don't be silly. everything is fine.
>>68940054
why do you assume home media is necessarily different than theater, especially in 93?
>>68940014
They were 1994 ford explorers evidently
https://roadtrippers.com/stories/jurassic-park-cars
>>68940014
Park staff used red/grey jeeps, but the cars on the tour were those two greenish electric Ford explorers.
>>68939444
>>68939756
C'mon
>>68940014
Those are the tour cars and they're 1993 Ford Explorers. The Jeeps you're thinking of are 1993 Jeep Wranglers.
>>68940160
>>68940166
Oh yeah, that's right my bad I forgot.
>>68940066
>using a VHS trailer to say how a movie is supposed to look
Do you not see the irony here?
>>68940054
I trust Universal to get the picture right on a film as significant as JP, especially when the director and cinematographer are still alive to work with them. You also can't pull something out of nothing like that, the colors have to be bold enough to begin with to enhance to the way the OP looks.
inb4 someone post the handful of bad blu-ray transfers as evidence against this
>>68940014
The tour vehicles were Ford Explorers.
The staff used Jeeps though.
>>68940196
Lel
Agreed.
>>68940217
Spielberg supervised the new color correction. It was supposed to look like that trailer. The following is from fxguide.
Stereo D President William Sherak about the film's 2D to 3D conversion:
> We took the original 1993 35mm O-neg, did a 4K scan of the picture. We did a full restoration on the image, and a full color-correction. Steven really wanted to match the original look - the color is very similar to the original. Which means you watch it and you have this brand new experience but you don't feel like you're watching a different movie. It's the same cut you saw in 1993 but we just dimensionalized it.
>>68939660
And it still lacked colors.
No racial pun intended.
>>68940426
>trusting Steven Spielberg to be true to the original vision
lol, thanks for the laugh.
>>68940196
m8 thats JJ not zack
Because they use these really shitty filters nowadays.
post the image lads
>>68940426
I saw JP 3D in the theater. They did an amazing job. The rain effects made some of the most immersive shots I've ever seen. Also Laura Dern's Shorts of Infinte Boners.
This is fucking Michael Bay
>>68939660
Damm i havent seen this movie or seen in like over 8 years.
A bit different than i remember hit still badass
>>68939599
Comparison of original to this image please

>90's were optimistic
Stop with this meme.

>>68940902
Laura is still heaps hot today. Cant wait to see her in star wars episode 8
HD and digital shit
nothing looks good anymore
>>68940924
I think that was sort of the point, senpai...
Compare this 2001 lighting...
>>68939660
micheal bay is a master of his craft. if you disagree you are a fedora faggot.
>>68941139

this looks like a promotional picture

Bay was good 90's - 2007 and then went sour
>>68939335
This.
After seeing so much gray on 9/11, directors have added it to their movies.

Please tell me you've seen Wild at Heart
>>68941552
She might be my time travel fuck pick even though I still would.
>>68940160
every time I watch this movie it makes me miss my '93 Eddie Bauer Exploder.
>>68939375
Actually dir. Tony Scott started that shit with Beverly Hills Cop II. He was like, "Ay, m8. Why don't we film every fucking scene like it takes place at dusk. That wuld look super cool, wouldn't it, m8?"
>>68941552
What do you faggots want?
>>68940096
acid went througha huge boom in the 90s
after a lull in the 80s actually
>>68939375
>>68943668
technically sepia/colored desaturation was popularised by Gordon Willis DPing on The Godfather.
After that movies started to copy that look to make their own films look like prestige products. That just evolved into grimdark grey modern cinema.
Thanks for ruining everything, Gordon.
>>68939375
>I'm positive it hides imperfections specially with lighting
This is very true in David Fincher's case. He has said in many cases that the heavy use of filters and the "gritty" look was done to hide the lighting imperfections in his movies. It's one of the reasons why Fincher hates film, and swears by digital. Strange thing is his flicks still look as shit as they did when he was shooting on film.
>>68940426
Just a bunch of fancy words saying "we did it a bit differently but don't get mad"
>>68939277
Wasnt extacy the drug of the 90s?
>>68940209
i wonder how much those went up in price after JW
>>68940781
JJ isn't afraid of using colors.
>>68944381
Agree, if it was actually the same they wouldn't feel the need to feed us this spiel, they would just release the thing and let it stand on its own,
