cyberpunk was meant for black and white
you should see Johnny Mnemonic in Black and White. if you haven’t seen it, or just seen it in color, you should see Johnny Mnemonic in Black and White.
cannot overstate how incredible it looks. vibrant, energetic, utterly captivating. cyberpunk never looked so good.
I bought the bluray which turned out to be region-locked somehow, but if you’re a cool technical boy, like me, treat yourself to a copy of Black and Color which edits the color version in for the cyberspace shots. it might work even better honestly? the cg has of course not aged well, but with so few scenes the colors take your eye before you can really notice the age.
this version has taken the film from “a fun B-romp” to “an all time great cyberpunk film”
