Weil sich Sehgewohnheiten ändern – und mit denen auch die Farbkorrekturen.
Why do modern movies look so gray, washed out, and desaturated? In this video essay, we explore the death of color in cinema and break down how Hollywood color grading, digital cinematography, and post-production LUTs have made blockbuster films look dull and lifeless. From The Matrix and Game of Thrones to Justice League and The Batman, this deep dive analyzes how filmmakers use color (or refuse to), and how digital color correction and cinematic desaturation have replaced the bold, expressive look of Technicolor movies.
We discuss the evolution of film color grading, the impact of teal and orange filters, how gray tones became standard in modern filmmaking, and how visual storytelling has been lost in favor of “serious,” muted palettes. Using examples from The Wizard of Oz, Amélie, Suspiria, Barbie, La La Land, and Everything Everywhere All At Once, we show how color influences audience emotion, visual tone, and narrative clarity.
If you’re interested in cinematography breakdowns, film theory, color theory in movies, or want to know why movies look gray now, this is the definitive guide. Learn what killed color in film — and who’s finally bringing it back.
