If his entire film is in black and white then I'm sort of glad to see it go down in flames.  That sort of "artistic" bullshit is so fucking pretentious.

It sets it apart from the crowd, rather than looking like everything else right now. Also, there's 100 different ways to desaturate an image all which gives you different looks and may draw less attention to things like the sky and more to geometric shapes, so I'd consider that art, It shows the filmmakers actually put effort or risk into the movie and didn't just churn out another oompa loompa looking skin tone blockbuster.

 

Black and white comparison animation

 

Anyway, you shouldn't be thinking about any of this while watching the movie.

What looks better to you?

Still from Clerks (1994)

Clerks 2

 

I guess I should pre-emptively state that I prefer movies in color.

"It sets it apart from the crowd, rather than looking like everything else right now."

 

Being "set apart" doesn't make shit better.

 

"It shows the filmmakers actually put effort or risk into the movie"

 

Bull fucking shit, they do it because they can use it as a selling point for people like you who like to LARP as movie connoisseurs able to recognize "art".

Clerks would have been such a better movie if it has been shot in color.  If Kevin Smith actually believed B&W were superior he wouldn't have filmed the sequel in color.

 

If you are looking for an example B&W done right, look no further than American History X.  In that film B&W is used to convey that the scene is a flashback.

 

Again, filming an entire movie in black and white is nothing more than trying to be artsy for the sake of being artsy.

So you're telling me Transformers would have been a good movie had Michael Bay only released it in black and white?

 

Who's the dick head here?

Why am I not surprised you follow the typical idiot-audience mindset?  "If it's in black and white it's artsy."  Sure, kid.  Rampage starring The Rock is coming out soon...maybe you'd be interested in watching that.

God damn it Grothesk you have this terrible habit of responding to positions I do not hold.  I specifically wrote IF his ENTIRE FILM is in black and white.  I then posted another response where I gave a specific example of where black and white is called for, namely American History X.

 

But here you are, eager to jump on your soap box and label me a "typical idiot-audience" member by jumping to a false but convient conclusion.  How does it feel way up there on your fucking high horse?  I bet you think you're some sort of enlightened movie critic with some special ability to see "nuance" or whatever the fuck you want to pretend makes you better than the rest of us plebs.

If you get this triggered over getting called an idiot then stop being an idiot.  Seems pretty straight forw--

 

oh, sorry, I forgot you were an idiot.  Dude, can you even wait to see Daddy's Home 2, bro?  Mel Gibson, fuck yeah!
