What is your opinion regarding this new trend in restoring, colorizing, and raising the frame rate to 60fps? Does it help make people interested in the past? Is it unethical? Is it lying to the viewer? What do you feel when you watch them?
I think it's positive thing. I think that it helps people relate to the videos more, because they can see everything clearer, and it's easy to realize these were actual people back then. When watching old footage, it's sometimes hard to realize those were real people. I don't think the original versions should just be forgotten though. I think it's important to show them side by side, because I think the original is important to help people interested in the past. I don't consider it lying to the viewer, as long as it's clear they're restored. As long as it's not restored using AI, I think it's a great thing.
