What I would like is a movie similar to "The Revenant" in content and tone, but with a natural color pallette instead of the now-standard historical movie muddy greys, browns and blacks. Imagine what The Revenant would have looked like with the color scheme of "Jeremiah Johnson" or "The Searchers" instead of the color scheme of the Orc scenes in LotR. That's what I would like.
shareSeraphim falls (06) is a fairly bleak and violent post American Civil War ‘manhunt’ sort of movie. It stars Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson and while the first two thirds of the flick are pretty much like First Blood the final act gets a bit mysterious and odd in a cool way.
shareNow that's a movie I haven't seen in ages.
Absolutely loved it as a teen.
Flesh + Blood (1985). Paul Verhoeven goes medieval.
shareHell yeah! That was a good movie👍
I’ve always appreciated Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh was super smoking hot, what a body! SHEESH!!!
*no apologies to the offended sorts 🥸
Oh yeah! I love that one! But I was looking for movies post-2000 because I have seen just about everything in this style from before.
Back then, the use of color filters wasn't that common, except in Westerns, which started using a sepia filter about 1980 or so.
The Duelist- it's good.
shareThe Northman?
shareGrim, violent, bleak and 2000-present: check. Although this list could have been so much better without that arbitrary year restriction.
Historical: little wiggle room with the definition there
No color tint: while I share a distaste for it, it doesn't occupy RAM in my brain, so I leave it to you to check out screenshots and be your own judge.
Otherwise, these are all recommended.
