Regarding colorization · Movies from the Past · 2025-09-28

Thanks for your kind comments. Regarding the colorization, I personally enjoy the artistic side of cinematography and the way it shows in b&w movies (the stylized balance of dark and light – especially in German Expressionist films and film noir). However, it is statistically proven that the younger generations do not watch b&w films (they don’t even bother to look at them). So I thought that if I introduced the colorized versions as well, they may then enjoy the content and start checking the b&w versions as well.
