Universal better not DNR Schindler's List!

After seeing their lazy DNR treatment for The Dear Hunter Universal 100th Anniversary, I would expect worst.

Here's hoping they would rescan the film instead of recycling the DVD master and leave the picture alone.

Except that The Deer Hunter looks good. Grain is intact and colors are robust.

No, but I just might have to change that in the near future.

Grain is visibly reduced, some smearing is evident and colors are off because the contrast has been boosted, which also obscures shadow detail. And all of this is on top of a dated master. But hey, if you keep saying otherwise, maybe that will make it true.

It's not that. It's just that it's a classic, a disturbing classic, but a classic nonetheless.

Oh dear hunter

Actually I hope they add some color and have a 3D release, seriously who in this day and age can watch a B&W with no 3D?

Its one of the restoration titles, so they scanned it again. I for one hope that Spielberg is in the room most of the time when there restoring it. Dont put no grain balance on or w/e that thing was on Mockingbird. If any movie not to screw around with, this is the one. This movie deserves the full treatment. Personally my favorite movie.

If Spielberg or especially his DP are involved, it won't be. Dude loves the grain.
