This again shows that life is the same basically now and back then.
yes, absolutely - and it lately it strikes me as odder and odder that WWII films appear more real if they are muted in colour. But this is true of a lot of historical films. Almost all "realistic" films dealing with the middle ages will have drab, brown colours as their main scheme - and the buildings will be dark, gloomy stone. While the facts are that people in the Middle Ages dressed in colours if they could, and painted their castles and houses in colours as well.
