When I look at the fake colour videos of the early 1900s I'm in awe. The connection to the past is so much more personal than in black and white. I would hazard a guess this is due to the ability to see subtle body language or facial expression with the greater contrast. I also (now) wonder will the ubiquity of high definition archival footage take us further away from the past or will it connect us to it much more through empathy as the fake archival footage has with me.
