Color will return to movies.

I just know they will.

>>183084183 (OP)
At some point in the late '00s, this muted color tone trend became the norm.
--- 183084256
Has there ever been a medieval movie that’s gone all-in on being colorful?

Obviously, sometimes things are visually different in films than in reality. On the other hand I bet the people in the middle ages also liked their media to be colourful and stimulating, so they would have had reason to draw it that way.

What's the reason for this?
--- 183084526
>>183084482
Because they want the past to seem like a hellscape. They do the same thing with 1950’s America by trying to make it look like the idealistic society was bad, actually.
--- 183084544

Yeah there are a lot of problems with modern historical entertainment but if we have so many accuracy errors with all of our modern academic understanding of history, archeology etc., why assume that medieval art is any more accurate?

Cause medieval art portrayed the present for those people, they had no reference other than what they saw irl. Modern historical art attempts to portray eras sometimes from thousands of years ago, reconstructed through history and archaeology. Way more effort required and room for error.

A Knight's Tale has plenty of color without looking like a cartoon. These jews simply don't want medieval movies to be colorful because they want you to believe those were dark and miserable times, but only in Europe.

Ancient Rome has the exact opposite problem when they depict it on film, but nobody ever complains about that. We know for a fact by sampling the residue on the sides of buildings and statues and chemically analyzing it ancient Rome was an extremely colorful place with brightly colored painted objects everywhere, but people aren't used to seeing it that way because since being left to decay for so many centuries we've just gotten so used to seeing everything as being made of stark white marble, and people generally find it unpleasant and jarring to see it depicted as it actually would have looked in bright eye catching color
--- 183085154
>>183085115
Ancient societies literally performed acts of genocide over shit like spices and dyes so it’s not surprising
--- 183085217

Truly an unsolvable mystery. If only they had written down how they harvested and made their dyes.

--- 183085805

Woad flowers.

Filmmakers have to make the medieval times look boring and somber so that the soiboys of today will prefer living in today's world as opposed to a more natural and healthy one. Another form of propaganda.
--- 183085831
>Further, a lot of what people think of as Medieval fashion is actually more like Renaissance era. This is partially because the real advent of painting and art was in the Renaissance & the clothing depicted showing "Medieval times" was often based on the fabrics and colors available during the time of the Renaissance. 1400-1500 was a real jump forward in fashion.

How long would an incel last in a medieval society? What skills do you have?
--- 183085997
yeah cause some gay artist/scribe definitely showed things the way they really were
they also filled medieval manuscripts with freakish little creatures with human faces and babies were portrayed as tiny adults with no regard to proportion
so i think i'll take the whole "medieval europe was a fruity colourfest" thing with a pinch of salt
--- 183086002
>>183085938
I'd say they'd thrive
--- 183086073
>>183085889

There was a trick with the dye from Woad to also "ferment" it with some metal to create even clearer blue, but this wasn't as widely known method.
--- 183086101

heh, yeah, fucking dumbass savages didn't know that oil is the only thing worth genociding for.

Its a smoking gun issue. You see guns only produce smoke under certaim cirscunstances, but the audience always conmect a smoking gun to one that was shot, even if thats normal nor how guns opperate.
Same thing happens with medieval and fantasy worlds, people need to see a poor tavern made of wood, without knowimg it was probably adornated with its walls painted and with plants inside to keep it living.
--- 183086199

--- 183086254

The blue from woad flowers were supposedly rare and expensive and was therefore a royal and aristocratic color. Dunno why it was so rare considering it's a plant, lol.

>>183085938
>How long would an incel last in a medieval society?
Medieval villagers would likely be confused by the incel's self-identification as they would not be able to comprehend why someone would be unable to find a sexual partner. They would also be baffled by the incel's anger and resentment towards women, as in medieval times, women were not seen as sexual objects, but rather as companions and mothers.
If the medieval villagers were to encounter an incel in the wild, they would probably try to offer him some food or ale in hopes that he would be pacified. However, if the incel were to start spouting off his misogynistic rhetoric, the villagers would likely be quite alarmed and would quickly move to remove him from their vicinity, if necessary with lethal violence.

hollylwood is obsessed with making the past, as recently as the 1950s, or as far back as the middle ages, seem like some sort of grim bleak hellscape. I don't know why but it is obviously even part of the average person's idea (here in america) of the real past. They think the 1950s was just a bunch of people who were alcoholics beating their wives and kids and lynching black people ever weekend, and that the people from europe in the middle ages were all murderous psychopaths who would wear dark, dirty clothes and go cut people up with axes and eat dirty pig scraps. Obviously movies don't have to be real but it would be nice if they could make some movies that aren't just a sadfest of dark colors and sad ominous music and tired looking guys dressed in gray brown clothes

The middle ages were a hellscape. People rarely bathed because northern and mid-European river water is too damn cold, they shit in bowls and emptied them out of the windows into the streets, and they drank lots of grog and alcohol because it was the only thing safe enough to drink. Life expectancy was short, partially due to poor sanitation making people more prone to illness.

The real expensive ones were blue and purple extracted from sea snails. You has to Holocaust ten thousand of them to get a gram of dye and is why those colours are associated with royal and holy garments.

Chuds will cry either way. If you make it colorful, they scream that the clothes look new and "cheap" and that it doesn't look "lived in".

>We can get spices and colorful things without violence if we want so we don’t need to kill for them
Oh we still kill alright. A nice slow death due to economic factors pushing people into slavery so we can buy cheap shit at walmart while we collectively get fat and not care. It's great.

Don't worry all you Changs out there, we will make sure that the suicide nets are installed and properly working. You're not getting out of work that easily.

Bath houses were considered immoral that time. Thanks to all the SEXOOO happening in them and then the plague marked them as areas of catching the disease.

People still bathed themselves to clean the body.
