In Reply to: RE: Seems last time I looked at DVD Beaver... posted by Cosmic Closet on September 10, 2008 at 21:08:09
...the 3D appearance. Even the stills are stunning.
I've read the comments. I dunno how absolutely "truthful" the colors are (see first images on the DVD Beaver comparison) but the stills look glorious to me. I never saw this in a theater...by the time I saw a theatrical print this movie was 20+ years old.
My suspicion is that Ford used a slightly heightened palette to begin with. He's not around to supervise the transfer, so I'm just happy to have this great movie looking as swell as it does.
It's movies like this that will have me purchasing a BD player as soon as I replace my current display. There are enough films out now on BD that I'm convinced.
Follow Ups:
I read several years ago that Ford referenced the palettes of Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington, the original cowboy artists, in his color Westerns.
As the guy who jumped off the 20-story building shouted as he passed the 10th Floor "So far..so good!"
...and those colors were definitely heightened, not realistic (particularly Remington who had a tip toward brightly lit orange and golden tones contrasted with blues and violets).
That's what I see in BD captures of The Searchers, and while it may not be precisely true to life, it does seem true to the director's intent.
Thanks for reminding me.
