Well my favorite westerns are all in color lol

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I was thinking more like High Noon.

I think a B&W version will be neat to see but I prefer the original color theatrical release.

To give it a cool western feel.

Like Shane?

Hugh said it himself this movie was inspired by unforgiven

Which, like Shane, was also in color.

B&W? Might as well release it in Academy Ratio then.

lol

Well hold on now it's actually not that simple.

Just turning the color off will leave you with a messy grey (noooooooo!) scale tone.

The studio colorist actually have a method to their madness with making the frame pop even at full greyscale.

Fury Road was a hit and miss. Some fans prefer the color version because of the vibrant colors while others enjoyed the melancholy that the B&W offered.

But with Logan it comes off as a gimmick to me.

Jye will my method work for the gray jedis in the star wars forums? lol

Couldn't resist. Although all gray talk is sad.

I'm definitely going to see since this again in B&W.

I'm just waiting for tickets to go live.

One night only.

I don't think I would get anything new from watching a black and white version. I love many black and white westerns, and many color westerns. I can't think of a case off-hand where b&w was a purely artistic choice, though. It was done out of utility. All those Eastwood Leone films were in color, as was the most iconically filmed western in existence IMO--Once Upon A Time in the West. But High Noon, Liberty Valence, and countless others were in b&w.

Some films benefit from B&W and I'm sure there's an "artistic" reason so many films in the 50's and 60's were in B&W despite having the technology to film them in color. Sure, it was probably cheaper to shoot in B&W and color being a new gimmick, it probably took some time for filmmakers to master the use of color effectively in the same way they utilized B&W film, so using B&W was also probably a safer choice, but I do think some films just look better in B&W too.

Obviously, a lot of films benefit from color, like the Wizard of Oz, which also uses B&W, but a movie like Logan would look good in B&W. Logan's costume is a black and white suit, and there are many scenes that were film with enough shadows and certain camera angles that can be enhanced by the B&W.

Two and a half hours in color was painful enough.

I don't understand this love for B&W by some people. I remember how excited we were getting our first color tv. We were the first on our block to have it and neighbors would come over to watch things in color.

 

[jye4ever]

For the most part you're right but I still love those B&W scifi movies from the 50's (Thing from Another Word!), original B&W Twilight Zone and Abbott and Costello.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is this now trendy? They take away 3D... and give back B&W? Those muthas!


What happened to Fury Road's B&W presentation?

 

[jye4ever]

Nothing happened lol

It was released some swear by it while others miss the vibrant colors from FR.

I want a black and chrome Road Warrior!

Then a black and chrome OT!

Then a black and chrome IX!

Then a black and chrome Raiders, Die Hard, Robocop, Alien, Aliens, T1, T2, Predator, Jaws, The Thing, Exorcist, F13th 1, Batman 89, STM and TDK!
