The General (1926) and terrible film colorizations : movies

I simply tried to observe The Common on Prime Video (Canada) and was shocked to seek out the one model accessible is colorized. It wasn’t even labeled as a modified version.

It was unwatchable.

I am not such a purist that I would not watch a colorized model of a black & white movie, however this one is so unhealthy. It appears like an intern gave it one move by way of an computerized colorizing program and by no means even watched the movie afterward.

Examples:

She’s not sporting a glove

Can these two strolling corpses and I please be part of your military?

They name me Silverthumb

Colours stream out and in of physique components over the course of a shot. Folks’s faces look sickly or useless. Objects are bizarre colours, or half-colored.

How is that this acceptable on a paid streaming service? Is this sort of colorization widespread?

I discovered an answer, BTW… I simply turned my TV’s shade setting right down to zero.
