Note: Kindly asking folks with corrections to consult the pinned comment before leaving them. Theres a very good chance it was already mentioned there, but I appreciate you wanting to point something out there. Also, be sure to watch the video in 4K for the clearest view of what I'm talking about since YouTube shredded the video quality.

Movies. What are they? Moving images. Oh, okay. Yeah, that was fast. Well, why don't they look right when you watch them at home! There's a million reasons (it helps to turn the TV on first, Aunt Edie), but two of the main reasons is because they've been recolored and degrained. Why? Well, stick around and let's explore the subject together, shall we?

Credits for research/the media used in the video appears at the end.

Please do not request copies of film scans from me. I'm not gonna commit a piracy for you, sorry.
