In Reply to: RE: Sorry you're disappointed, but this is an incredible achievement with gobs of detail not previously visible posted by Jazz Inmate on September 26, 2008 at 09:38:18
...quoted from the HiDef digest (online) review, is information from the "Video:Sizing up the picture" section (link included) that mentions what Coppola did affect in this restoration: "Contrast is intensified on these transfers, which does improve image clarity but also adds a hotness (particularly to outdoor scenes) that may shock those used to the previous, much more muted video editions." Now, I've seen the films (one and two) at least 20 times in the theater, not to mention multiple video and dvd viewings. The new changes I see are not imaginary, and they are the invention of the original film makers. They have the right and the artistic license to do as they please-more power to them. I'll bet I'm not going to be the only one who doesn't care for this approach. If I'd seen this in a movie theater, I'd have thought that the print was defective. The reviews cites his Coppola source from the supplemental extras on the BD/DVD. I'm going to look for that stuff tonight.

But frankly I think the DVD and VHS versions looked defective and this Blu-ray was produced right. Compare it to other films, and you'll see what I mean. With all due respect to the High Def Digest reviewer, I don't think the contrast is pumped up on the BD; I think it was dynamicaly squashed/compressed on previous GF home video releases. But given that we don't have the source material, it's hard to say. What impresses me so much and leads me to believe Harris' approach is proper is the level of detail, definition and resolution that made the BD version appear more lifelike, vibrant and true. Signs of inappropriate processing always get in the way of those characteristics, but I believe Harris' approach was 100% appropriate.
