If these were true colours, their skin would be caked in bright white makeup.

I had a lady of the night shake her head at me like that when I walked past her booth in Amsterdam once...

Doesn’t really apply, but I never get to use this one. Hopefully someone will allow it.

I saw that in a club once. Girl was off to the side of the dance floor between a couple tables just grooving* by herself. Guy approached her, matching her moves. She saw him from about 10 feet away and just shook her head. He kept going past her like, "What? No, I wasn't approaching her."
* This was back before "vibing" was a thing.

Stop colouring monochrome films and images. It ruins them. Leave history alone.

Seven Chances (1925) by Buster Keaton. The entire movie (just under 57 minutes long) is embedded in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Chances

Thanks.

I find this hilarious even w/o sound. The acting is spot on.

The older I get (and the more D&D I play) the more appreciation I have for acting as an artform. It's incredible what great actors can convey just with their body language and facial expressions.
vmos
please stop with the shitty autocolour please. It doesn't add anything and it's actually distracting

If she’d seen him in action, there’s no way she’d turn that man down! Hell, I don’t swing that way, but maybe for him?…

Wtfff? I was just thinking of this clip 10 min ago.

Oh cool, is that Anna May Wong?

Lol the amount of people hiveminding "WE HATE THE RECOLORIZATION" on this post.
DdCno1
Less of a hivemind and more of a legitimately awful thing.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Seems rather innocuous to me. What makes it legitimately awful?

Have you ever seen any person other than Donald Trump looking this orange?

I didnt even notice anything bad about the colourisation until I read the comments, I thought it was completely fine.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
At times I feel like people just need things to hate and get off to feeling like they are part of a pitchfork & torch wielding mob.

I swear to God, Rowan Atkinson took everything he is from silent movies. He would have OWNED the screen. He would have been perfect, and he is still perfect with or without sound.bi love that fucking man...but tis post made me think of him. Sorry, I'm drunk on seltzers and my love of Rowan Atkinson. Goddamn it I adore him so fucking much

Why are people who colorize things so bad at it? It was a joke on the Simpsons like 30 years ago and somehow hasn't changed. Not all colors in the world are muted, people aren't orange, and random strangers don't wear the same shade of muted purple. The color of his hat and arms just randomly bounce around.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
It's done with a filter and it's not incredibly advanced. Notice how his sleaves and hat turn orange when the light hits them a certain way. It just reads certain values and recolors them according to the settings I'm sure.

The short answer is "money". The long answer is "money" + other words.
wikkit
This is done by some rando on the internet though. They weren't commissioned to badly colorize this by a cable station for a fixed price, they decided to do it badly on their own.
vmos
because it's not people, it's a shitty app
HardTimeKillinFoulNews
Skin colors are hard to simulate realistically. A lot of colorization work is done with drawn art as inspiration, which may be inaccurate compared to reality. Also take into account that BnW movies resorted to weird color schemes in clothes and makeup so that it would look good in black and white (for example purple eye shadow and lipstick; or making Superman's costume red and brown in the 1948 movie because blue would render badly in BnW).

That's Rosalind Byrne in Seven Chances (1925). In 1925 Louise Brooks was playing an uncredited " Moll " in The Street of Forgotten Men.
MrStealYourGiF
See, it's so bad I wanna fantasise every lass in a bob like that is Louise Brooks, in my defense, the colorization kills the facial detail a lot.

So I guess you've never seen Maude Adams before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maude_Adams

Oh, not Octopussy Maud Adams... cute, did she get reincarnated as Sarah Michelle Gellar or is it just me seeing it?

I see the resemblance. But she had something unique to her look

wholesome. He wasn't pushy and accepted no as an answer. He didn't expect her to comfort himself either.

yep... doesn't need colour, nor music (especially upbeat). It's a beautiful snapshot of life.

This is from Seven Chances (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Chances). The plot is basically: He will inherit seven million dollars if he is married by 7:00 p.m. on his 27th birthday, which happens to be that same day.
The girl in the clip has just heard him proposing to, and getting turned down by, every other girl in the country club.

Two big things that speak volumes about character: how someone reacts to losing and to being rejected.

And how they treat waiters/cleaning staff.
DerpMeister
I had a gf once that was always unfriendly to waiters. Not rude, but unfriendly. I was always embarrased and talked about it with her. We eventually broke up, although not because of that. I've only shown my dissatisfaction with a waiter (waitress actually) once in my life and that was after she had been rude to my friends and me from the very second we entered the restaurant. Maybe she had a bad day. I'm willing to tolerate that. But how she behaved was just over the top. We got up and left.
BeragondGreatstride
The two sides of the picture: how you act when powerless (losing/getting rejected), how you act when in power (toward service workers)
GTimgur
And she wasn't a jerk to him! Where initiation is expected of one side and not the other, both giving and rejection should be done with grace.
VanessaBludgeons
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND, @GTimgur !!!
CaptainScarfish
As a guy who faced a TON of rejection as a young man I'm actually totally cool with the rudeness in hindsight. It's the unfortunately reality that many women have their "no" upgraded to a "maybe" or "try harder" in the minds of their suitors. They need to drop an "absolutely fucking not, fuck off and never show your face again" to get the point across.
TripleDane
As long as answers is clear it should be polite. You should not need anymore confirmation than that. if you need swearing before you understand or can accept a simple no... something is wrong with you, and you should get it checked
CaptainScarfish
If only if only, the woodpecker sighs. I would love to live in a world where women felt safe to give a polite "no" without fear of retaliation.
GTimgur
Frankly, that's on you. You were an asshole. Not every approacher should be punished because of people like you. "I didn't respect boundaries, so people should be mean" is so absurd.
CaptainScarfish
I certainly wasn't the feminist 20 years ago that I am today, but neither was I the guy that couldn't take no for an answer. The "punishment" for men is a moment of embarrassment. That pales in comparison to the women who get "punished" by stalking, harassment, threats of physical violence, accusations of friendzoning, etc if they aren't blunt to the point of being rude about their disinterest.
FesteringStump
Guy didn't give any indication he, as a young man, was being an asshole. He understands that women get approached by a lot of assholes who persist after a simple no should do, and the women then default to leaving no doubt. You can say that people should always be polite in rejecting, but if they aren't then maybe they've learnt the hard way. As a gay man I've politely rejected men, and then been given shit for it. Some men are entitled cunts.
CaptainScarfish
To be clear, I wasn't the archetypal "don't take no for an answer" kind of guy, but I harboured more than a few toxic ideas about dating and women until around the age of 16.
CaptainScarfish
I can think of many times I didn't treat the women I was interested in dating the way I would today, but I think that's a part of becoming wiser with age. As a nerdy, disillusioned young man who had little success with women and access to 4chan, I was inundated with messages about how Real Men™ act. Toxic masculinity was the norm in the mid 2000s. I was lucky enough to have progressive friends and a compassionate moral foundation that permeates my beliefs today.
