Here’s an example for the bar scene.

35mm LPP:

WOWOW:

WOWOW matched to 35mm LPP:

Forgive me, but an oil lantern does not glow blue, it glows with a yellow-golden hue. The 35mm colour cannot be correct. Surely Spielberg and Douglas Slocombe knew what a glowing lantern looks like. The WOWOW colour looks perfect. It’s the details that one must look into, I think, not just a source to grade properly. Also, In the 1980s and '90s the projection lamps used to be yellow, I think. So, any film projected would have actually looked warmer than how it appeared on the print itself. I am not an expert, but the 35mm colour looks grossly wrong and I do not think Spielberg wanted a yellow lamp to look blue in 1981.

P.S: Just felt a strong earthquake, shook the entire building. Whew, was a strong one. Our dog hid under the sofa.
