Can somebody switch off the colours? And make a normal text font, please?

It kills the atmosphere

[nandutzu]

The text font and color is horrible, too bad.

@ADevilFromHeaven get some Ritalin, and lose the iPad, you don't have time for a streaming video? In my day, we had to trudge through miles of snow and mud to get to the film canister dispenser. And, we were grateful.

[ADevilFromHeaven]

Is this the entire film? I don't have time to watch an entire film right now, but I'll put in my favourite list to watch later! :)

@CHRISNICX that's not the original version. first of all, that version has USA written all over the title card while this is a german film. second of all, the longer version is probably the original, with less material cut out. third, the other version was missing colour tinting, which was available and in use at the time.

Amazing. You have to watch this as if you lived when it came out. This scared the crap outta people.
