Most of ACC is supposed to depress you!

All of ACC is depressing in the B&W version. And who are you to tell me what I have to look for in fims?

There are qualities in B&W films that are totally absent in a film made in color and that's one reason they're far better left alone.

I was against "the very principle" of colorization. And I dislike Ted Turner. But I like the colorized version and I can always watch my b&w copy if I want to. (But, somehow, I never want to watch that version)

As my father used to say, "De gustibus non est disputandum, said the fat lady when she kissed the pig."

Who am I to tell you what to look for in films? Someone who knows about such things;unlike you.

Watch whatever you please,but don't get bent out of joint when someone tells you factual information about movies and the reasons for some things and why the subtlties of B&W are different from films that were made in color.

There actually WAS Technicolor used, though sparsely, in the 1920s. It was NOT used for entire films because 1) the film makers erroneously believed that color would harm the viewers' eyes 2) the believed that certain scenes would make a bigger impact, IF they were in color and I am NOT talking about tinted film, but two thread ( as opposed the the more modern three thread color we are used to )TECHNICOLOR.

You're old enough to remember when a movie in color was a big deal. Now,it's the norm and no big deal at all.

Ted Turner RUINED "classic" films by colorizing them but since you don't want to be " depressed", even when the story is supposed to DEPRESS you, then by all means watch your coloroized version and be happy, happy, HAPPY! It's cheaper and safer than taking PROZAC. LOL

You know, one thing REALLY puzzles me. If you know ACC as well as you claim you do and you obviously own a copy of this book, WHY didn't you just look up the quote in the book, instead of looking on line for it? And WHY did you post this article, once you found it?
