was vitali involved in this?

>>213805109 (OP)
Not much a fan of the regrade but the fideility is unmistakably improved. It's been a long time since I saw EWS, is the bluray release really that rough?

Looks like a photoshopper's bait. What's the source?

>>213805109 (OP)
I much prefer the original

>>213805109 (OP)
nah the yellow glow from the christmas lights is much dreamier in the original. The new version ruins the hazy atmosphere.

>>213805257
It's not real, grain would not be that chunky on a 4k still.

>90s warm cinematography? not in my blu-ray

>>213805361

All of Eyes Wide Shut's home video releases had heavy DNR applied to them and none reflect the actual look of the movie in theaters, which was notably grainy because of how far Kubrick pushed the film stock.

>All of Eyes Wide Shut's home video releases had heavy DNR applied to them and none reflect the actual look of the movie in theaters, which was notably grainy because of how far Kubrick pushed the film stock.
That makes sense. I don't distinctly remember the grain being that thick in theater but then I never watched any of the home video releases so I don't know how those looked. OP's image looks aggressively jpeg compressed which I suppose makes sense if they were cranking denoisers in the 2000s.

>>213805370
The green filter was added later. Originally the movie was starved of green, so when you left the theater the outside world would have a soft green tint for a while.

>>213805109 (OP)
The white balance is more accurate, but the reds have been diminished in the process. The original was pretty far off though, that light from the window is neon purple.

>>213805672
I still have the original trailer in 160x120 before it even was in theaters. It was green as fuck.

>>213805174
He's still in some 3rd world prison

>>213805109 (OP)

It actually looks good. Only gigantic retards think grain is bad.
Did they restore the true ending though?

>>213805109 (OP)
left feels dream-like, so i like it more.
i dont know whats wrong with the right side, but theres zero emotional reaction. theres nothing there. some might souless.

>>213806054
yes steven spielberg and tom hanks receive the daughter and begin raping her violently

>let's include a lot of unintended grain

>>213805109 (OP)
the warm dreamy look of eyes wide shut is like half the reason i find it so comfy and rewatchable

>>213806282
Kubrick did intend it. But they simply didn't have the tech back in the day.

SOUL
VS
also SOUL

>>213805109 (OP)
It's a fucking scam. 20 years ago Coppola personally oversaw the ultimate restoration of The Godfather. Then 20 years later he did another ultimate restoration which has different colors and the less filmgrain, so WTF? I guess he needed money to shoot Megalopolis.

>>213806292
true

Yep. That’s Satanic.

>>213805109 (OP)
wow they completely ruined it

it's based on a fucking book called DREAM Story

jesus fucking christ

IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK DREAMY

>>213808793
But don't you want perfect grainless clarity where you can see every individual pore on the actor's face (upscaled by AI of course.) Isn't that the point of movies?

Right looks like garbage. Eyes Wide Shut always had that very warm glow in those indoor scenes

I thought Kubrick shot this for 1.33.1?

>>213805254
>Dolby Vision HDR
That's why it looks like shit. I just don't get why Criterion insists on fucking doing this. Mulholland Drive and Menace 2 Society were their first 4k discs along with Citizen Kane and I watched them on my 4k projector without HDR and they looked fucking amazing without that shitty post processing.

whooooole lotta people who didn't see this in the cinema itt

>>213805109 (OP)
how about just leave it the fuck alone?

>>213806996
Stay on reddit, friend.

Looks like they somehow got the fucked HDR version on Blu-ray.

More reasons to preserve stuff even torreting allows to acces to older versions of movies or even the despecialized star wars movies

Nah, I like the original look, no need to change it, plus I want to make sure all the Mason imagery doesn’t dissipate

>>213805109 (OP)
why do they hate warmth? do they really think that it was unintentional/mistake how the movie looked? movies are not meant to look realistic

>New 4K digital restoration of the director’s cut, supervised and approved by director Michael Mann
I have no idea why you guys can't see this being a Mann choice, he loves the blue filter. Manhunter, Heat.

>>213812152
Yeah, and it's a rare case where it actually works. The theatrical grading doesn't really suit the film that well, it doesn't have the same mood as the blue tint.

>you can't conceive how rich that jew is, he just bought it because he liked it then had to find somewhere to stuff it
One of the Keno twins from Antiques Roadshow mentioned an incident while working at Sotheby’s Auction House.
Someone brought in a antique chair, purchased at a thrift store. While Sotheby’s was researching the chair, they came across an apparently identical one Sotheby’s had sold in the past.
Since pairs or multiples of chairs fetch higher prices per chair than single chairs, they tried to track down the purchaser of the former chair to see if the owner still wanted it, or would be willing to put the chair up for auction again.
Sotheby’s found out the chair purchased at the thrift store was the exact same chair, and it wound up at the thrift store after the wife of the purchaser had hired an interior designer, who had removed a bunch of old furniture and dropped it off at the thrift store when redecorating.
The chair had originally sold for around $200,000 .
The thrift store purchaser was allowed to keep the chair and auction proceeds.

>>213806996
>noticing jewish crimes is racism

>>213805109 (OP)
No but seriously why did they do this? Did they add extra grain or what? It looks like shit

>>213813371
Not an argument chud

>>213813069
It's better. Cry more, retard.

left looks too harsh, right the skin looks weird with all the dots

>>213811637
>original look
That isn't the original look though. It's the bluray's look. If it was the version coming out now there's no doubt everyone would be complaining that they made it yellow and blurred out all the grain.

>>213805754
Whoa, you really wanna do this? Huh? Huh? You really wanna accuse me of giving inaccurate info? Give me your address. Let's settle this. Btw, my dad literally WORKS at Warner Bros, idiot. There, I win, you lose.

>>213805109 (OP)
BluRay proper I have isn't as bad as either of those but still pretty shitty.

None of you niggers going to mention it's cropped compared to the 4:3 cut?

The remasters look worse because they're trying to make modern slop look good in comparison.

>>213815765
That doesn't make sense because the remasters still look better than modern slop

Has a restoration ever ruined a black and white film?

>>213805109 (OP)
Surprised they didn't smother it with aggressive color grading.

>>213815839
But not as good as the originals. That's the point.
