<span style=“font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;”>Unfortunately, all Blu-ray releases worldwide seem to use the same - in  my opinion - shitty contrast-boosted source which features a sharper image compared to the DVDs though, but the bright elements clip to pure white:</span>

<span style=“font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.279998779296875px;”>http://caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleiche/multi_comparison.php?art=part&x=252&y=179&action=1&image=6&hd_multiID=183&cap1=18189&cap2=18181&disc1=1953&disc2=1951&lossless=#vergleich</span>

<span style=“font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;”>Ironically, similar to what happened with “Memento”, this ugly image seems to be even director-approved what makes me wonder what they were smoking when they signed this thing off. Anyway, I don’t really care if it is now supposed to look awful because some director changed his mind, I want the far more natural style how it appeared in the theater and on the old DVDs as well.</span>

<span style=“font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;”>Does anyone know a source with an unaltered HD image by chance? I assume that at least a 2K-master had been created for the DVD releases as well so there might have been a HDTV station which broadcasted it in a “less flawed” shape.</span>

<span style=“font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;”>Any help finding such a source would be greatly appreciated since I love this movie.</span>
