What you prefer, is of course up to you.
But I think this should be brought to everyone's attention. That's all.

It is difficult to see how it may
appear to you that way because you have not seen the Criterion release.
Additionally, I am not at all convinced that the German release accurately replicates this so controversial now theatrical appearance. Actually, from the information provided in this thread, it is pretty obvious that it is a case of someone guessing how the film
should look (with access to the protection master).
Lastly, I looked at the screencaptures that were posted yesterday -- and no, they do not confirm egregious use of DNR -- and it is pretty easy to see that various splashes of blood have been darkened out in the bottom left corner of the frame on this German release. Some food for thought there.
