[In progress] TERMINATOR 2 Blu-ray regrade to 35mm

[palachdredd777]

Well, I read that Pescadero scenes had that sickly green vibe, which would be quite fitting as that's no place you'd want to live in. So vomit-inducing, yeah, I guess. For those scenes in Pescadero during the day, I have mixed sources and testimonies: some bluer, some greener. That's why I keep changing stuff, I have no certainty regarding those.

Let's think about it. This is a psychiatric hospital—a place where people with mental health issues are kept and treated. People with mental health issues are susceptible to anything that triggers an emotional outburst. Green or apple-colored are irritating. Especially since the orderlies' uniforms are WHITE. Rebalancing the white balance, we notice that the walls in Pescadero are soft pink, beige, and cream. No harsh colors, especially not those vomit-inducing ones. The atmosphere in the hospital was exacerbated by the fact that the orderlies BEAT and RAPED patients.

Unless that reasoning comes from a 1991 interview with James Cameron or Adam Greenberg regarding how the film looked like, I don't care about it. I only care about how it looked like in the cinemas in 1991, and for now all I have to rely on are different looks on four 35mm scans and viewer testimonies who attended more recent screenings.

Each individual colors in this regrade can finally breathe.
