lol "dramatically different." To most, it just looks greener, that's it. It won't affect an average viewer's enjoyment of the film. This reminds me of a typography article that says a g with excess kerning in some font is a devastating flaw.
- schappim 5y agoThe “looks greener” is actually a central part of the filmography (not sure if this is the right word), as the colours are tinted green whenever the characters are in the matrix and shift back when they are in the real world.
- colechristensen 5y agoCinematography would probably be the appropriate word.
- schappim 5y agoThank you!
- colechristensen 5y ago“Filmography” means something more like bibliography and might be defined as “a list of films” for one purpose or another. Like a director’s filmography would be the list of films they worked on.

- abfan1127 5y agocinematographers and others go to great lengths to get colors right. They choose different film mediums (or digital equivalents). The great cinematographers go to great lengths to get colors, angles, perspectives just right. Average movie goers notice the greatness, but they don't know the "how its great". Font Designers go to great lengths to get just the right kerning, serifs, etc too. Average people notice great fonts, but often don't know why.
- fortyseven 5y agoA word's intensity can vary by context. For example, most of the time when I describe an event as "awesome", rarely is it literally targeting something that inspires "awe".
- colechristensen 5y agoIt is a trend of language that words lose intensity of meaning over time. Perhaps the only reason “fuck” still means anything is that we make it a taboo for children to say.
