B&W Film are "False Images"? They are true images according to the parameters of the film used to create them when looking at the subject in the real world.

Colorized B&W films/photos are False Images. Made by one person to their perceived view of that image on a computer. Unless that person has knowledge about the subject and background, they have no way to be certain that they have created a "TRUE IMAGE" or even come close. Otherwise they are simply engaged in "Impression Art".

Sigh, Great footage. All B&W film should be colourized while carefully preserving the original for posterity. This way, the viewer has the choice, or option, to decide their own preference.

It is important to colourize early film because the original monochrome, or sepia, are false images. Even if the colourization is not exactly true, it's truer than black and white.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, but I assume you would also want to preserve the originals as black and white or sepia or whatever.
