REMOVUS THE COLORUS

>REMOVUS THE COLORUS

Hey copypasta guy, I've got your opening line written for you already:

"Why would you expect the colors not to be dull in one of the dullest franchises etc etc..."

>inb4 buttblasted Yatesfag comes in to damage control

>inb4 he starts with Aside from the gloomy imagery

It works well for World War II movies.
Dunkirk looks horrible because it DOESN'T do it.

The films progressed and matured along with their audience.

As Harry Potter fans grew from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and became flat, uncreative, shitty, obnoxious, safe, joyless, boring people the films followed suit.

Other way around

>Dunkirk looks horrible because it is more realistic and doesn't use my preferred instagram filter

Why does a magical adventure with high school students need to look like a WW2 movie

I'm lonely as fuck and I spend every waking hour on the computer dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

this is a pretty fucking stupid gripe considering the first two films look like 90's children's films and the later ones have incredible cinematography (just look at 6, for example)

j.k. rowling said the books are about coming to terms with death. they get darker as they go on. it makes sense for the color grading to change to reflect the change in tone.

why should a movie series about magic look realistic anyway?

>pre-Sup Forums Sup Forums
;0)

the top is the one that looks like an instagram filter

Its just bad color correction, they went way too far over it , its monochrome with a green tint

It looks weird when you suck all the color out of peoples skin and give them a green tint

They look like zombies

DELET THIS

bad is completely subjective here. i didn't see anyone complaining about it on here when they first came out. only years later now that colour grading has become unpopular due to overuse do people have a problem with this.

it's no different to looking at a film from any other era and finding problems with the look because it's gone out of fashion

>get darker as they go along.

They don't need to literally get darker, you can have colour and still retain a grim tone.
And cinematography in Half-Blood Prince as you listed. That's a perfect example.

>>They don't need to literally get darker, you can have colour and still retain a grim tone.
Of course they didn't need to. They chose to.

Not sure what you mean about Half-Blood Prince, but the cinematography is really well done, especially for a blockbuster movie franchise. You'd expect to see that in an art film. And especially when compared to the first two films.

jesus christ that picture

I want to tenderly love a young Hermione

>dunkirk looks horrible
but it doesnt

Here bruh I made her more mature and adult for you

>generic orange-and-blue cinematography replaced by washed out blue
Not the biggest deal in the world t b h.

>calling colors generic

Taking the contrarianism a bit too far there aspy

> actually liking the generic british mansion movie presented in technicolor that HP1 was

I don't think it's bad.

It correlates with the tone of the movies. The darker and serious they get, the less colour they have.

But that's how France looks like in summertime, mate.

Reverse Copypasta?:

Of course one of the best movie series ever would use the subtraction of color to signify the growing stakes the kids go through. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been distinguishable from the others. Aside from the incredible imagery, another one of the series’ consistencies has been its saturation of excitement and effective use of special effects, all to make nonmagic magical, to make inertia seem actiony.

Perhaps the die wasn't cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would always be a work of art that meant everything to everybody? Not just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be pro-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the pro-James Bond series in its inclusion of wonder, beauty and excitement. Everyone wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they still do.

>the books were even better though

"Yes!"

The writing is awesome; the book was terrific. As I read, I noticed that every time a character stretched his legs, the author wrote instead that the character "went for a walk."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope one time. I was elated. Rowling's mind is so governed by the rejection of cliches and dead metaphors that she has a lush style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will not go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, not trained to read Stephen King.

Your reading comprehension is on a criminally low level, even for Sup Forums standards.

eh, as long as the filter is applied correctly and not like in Potter movies (where some scenes are too dark to see anything) I don't have a problem in it. But sometimes it's nice to see a real daytime during daytime in movies.

But HP1 looks generic. Films of 90s share a similar palette in general due to last days of technicolor. Just look at Romeo + Juliet, Titanic, HP1, The Remains of the Day,. The English Patient, Sleepless in Seatle, Forrest Gump, 10 Things I hate in you, Se7en, Good Will Hunting, Pretty Woman. Warm, brown-orangish tinge, earthy tones, dark cinematography.

>actually liking poorly thought out childrens movies so you can get likes on facebook by pandering to memetalgia

No, that would be your ability to interpret. There's no such thing as generic colors. Orange and blue compliment each other which is why they're used together frequently. There isn't some enormous list of available color combinations -- there's a few that look great together and that's it. Referring to a color combination as generic is beyond retarded, even by Sup Forums standards.

but I did not confess to liking anything

reminder that Luna is the greatest thing in the series

Every single action blockbuster saturates the screen with orange and blue.

>implying

It worked for mad maxine and made that piece of shit watchable. Even the night scenes look much better

I don't recommend it though as its the same movie but in black and white. None of the reworked audio that was promised happened
