Surely, he should be able to see that making money from Schindler's List is essentially the opposite of making money from the holocaust.

Considering the kind of impact the movie made, I don't know. IMO, a UHD release would be an avenue of exposing the film to a larger audience. He can always donate the proceeds if he feels that strongly.

I'm just not holding out a lot of hope on this one.

Well shit... this is just about the best release I could have asked for. Yes!!!! If it’s in DV even better.

When I was looking at anniversary titles that might come out in 4k I passed on this for some reason. Not that I wouldn't buy it, just that I didn't think it'd come out.

Looks like we are getting some top notch catalog movies coming out in 4k this year.

Memorial Day weekend launch?

And how are you certain your movie experience was the intended look of the director?
Not saying you're wrong but I see alot of this when someone talks bad about a certain release because it doesn't reflect their cinema experience decades ago.

I actually hope they polish up the movie a little and use HDR with restrain. But I haven't seen this one in years so will need to revisit the blu-ray for more thoughts later.

He's reached the yawn period of his career. Whereas other of his contemporaries aged 70+ he's opted for old guard feeling dramas the past decade and a half. His blockbuster attempts in that timeframe have been awful too.

His movies used to be day one event films but that stopped around 2005 for me.

nick4Knight · 02-28-2018, 06:52 PM

Ohhhhh, yes! I refreshed the 4K bluray subforum first time today and my heart raced just seeing the thread title

Things are really shaping up now... We have quite a catalog building in the final quarter of '17 and looking like that time in 2018. Just the announced so far I'd take for a great year of UHD ...But open to more spoiling

As to the treatment... I'd be for (and am glad to hear) the scan/transfer will be more like the DVD 'n' theatrical presentation. We have the BD for upscaling if we want SPR looking more color vibrant! Best of both worlds.

so many "based on true story" movies. i havent even seen war horse and im not gonna. where has all the ambition gone? hated munich, nothing but fabrication and im glad eric bana's career dwindled, guy cant act.

cynatnite · 02-28-2018, 06:58 PM

He does more producing than directing. That's been the case for a while now.

Blu Cider · 02-28-2018, 07:34 PM

I read an article a few years back that the blu-ray was from a source scanned at 6k and finished in 2k. I can't find said article. Geoff??

I would also like to see Schindler's List in 4k. Probably be the only 4K I would buy without HDR. I say that because Spielberg wanted to shoot it like a documentary and to be timeless. Maybe HDR the red dress perhaps?

Zoland2020 · 02-28-2018, 07:37 PM

One of if not the best war movies of all time is rightfully getting 4K treatment. I'm in!!!

HDR isn't really about color. It's in the name - High Dynamic Range. Brighter whites without clipping, blacker blacks without crushing - for the entire image. Schindler's List will look even better in HDR even being just black & white for most of the runtime.

Color is 1B. Hdr has a drastic effect on color.

True and I realize that. I originally thought about stating seeing a modern filmed black and white movie with HDR would be special. But since it would look so much better than the black and white WWII footage we are use too, Spielberg might not want that.

I highly doubt this will get remixed in Dolby Atmos. Close Encounters used the 5.1 track from before and that too screamed Atmos. Sony normally remixes in Atmos whenever possible and so I can only imagine Spielberg put the kibosh on another remix. Paramount is more like Warner Bros where unless they're forced into it, they probably won't fork over the dough for an immersive overhaul.
