Only one word: horror.
Imagine a silent picture with 5.1 synthetiser music. Like in Metropolis...Brrrrrrrr
Moroder was the bastard.
For luck we have this sound knob...
Follow Ups:
I have a laser disc of Greed" with an original score by Carl Davis, who also conducts. It is in stereo and I play it back using the dolby Pro Logic II Music codec in my pre-amp/processor. It in NO way detracts from the film's magnificence and,indeed, increases my suspension of disbelief and involvement. I wish it were in full discrete Dolby Digital 5.1 ES or, better yet, its DTS counterpart. We're talking MUSIC here, not dialogue or effects.
DTS Movie sound much better than DDII, on most all the films I have tried.
I spoke of mono movies, for the stereo it is also my finding.
I wasn't advocating sound codecs as much as I was directly commenting on your paost that a 5.1 version of a silent film would be "horrors".
But for me.
for every time they actually get lucky and don't disrupt the original balance of a film there will be dozens of proverbial abortions in surrouns sound. The thing is every movie is made in a time and place with the given technologies and sensibilities of that time and place and those artists that made the film. All artistic decisions affect all other artistic decisions in the shooting ,cutting and scoring of a film. To go in and radically atler one element without upsetting the balances of the other elements and the sensibilities of the artists in that time and that place. I'd much rather have any resources spent on film preservation and restoration. Use new ideas and new technologies on new films
