This would of been way better in color


I mean seriously the black and white added nothing. i watched this with my grandparents and they said the same thing and they grew up back before color was invented so yeah it should of been in color.

It's "would have been". Not "would of been".

I think the black and white in this movie is gorgeous.

Also, have you seen the Midwest in the winter? Even if the movie was in color it would still look very gray and dreary.

My family was raving about this movie as we were channel surfing and it was already on. I agree, the black and white cinematography was weak, amateur and flat.

I love black and white for what it can achieve in terms of shadow design and contrast. This was flat and uninspired and not in the "Well the midwest is flat and uninspired" kind of way.

I'll eventually watch it because I like Bruce Dern, but my first impressions were negative from the technical aspects.

Before color was invented? Didn't Roy G. Biv invent color, as we know it today?

Before that momentous day, sunrises were really gray, but there was less racial violence.

It wasn't supposed to add anything, but rather take away from it. It's a colorless life, what did you expected? The main characters see no colors in life. David made a journey into his father's world, because as you know he wasn't feeling that great after his break up. It's just a mechanism to get us into their mindset.
