    Allow me to politely disagree.

    I think we all can agree that an integral part of Fury Road was the hot palette of colors: you could feel the baking heat of the desert and the road-distorting heat coming off of all those “Big Daddy” Roth mega-engines…to be then starkly contrasted by the cool, cobalt-blue night desert scenes. In my less-than-humble opinion, rendering it in b/w adds absolutely nothing to Miller’s over-the-top latest chapter of the saga and actually diminishes its impact. They might as well have made it silent.

    You wanna see black and white used effectively as effectively as color in a 21st century film? See Zack Snyder’s Justice League: Justice is Gray Robert Eggar’s The Lighthouse (2019).
