Copolla's changes are evident... (sorry, longish)

...quoted from the HiDef digest (online) review, is information from the "Video:Sizing up the picture" section (link included) that mentions what Coppola did affect in this restoration: "Contrast is intensified on these transfers, which does improve image clarity but also adds a hotness (particularly to outdoor scenes) that may shock those used to the previous, much more muted video editions." Now, I've seen the films (one and two) at least 20 times in the theater, not to mention multiple video and dvd viewings. The new changes I see are not imaginary, and they are the invention of the original film makers. They have the right and the artistic license to do as they please-more power to them. I'll bet I'm not going to be the only one who doesn't care for this approach. If I'd seen this in a movie theater, I'd have thought that the print was defective. The reviews cites his Coppola source from the supplemental extras on the BD/DVD. I'm going to look for that stuff tonight.
