Boy, I just love any movie from the late 40's, the 50's 60's and up to rhe mid 70's. Also love the way people lived in the 50's. Love thre way people dressed decently, love the houses and the carrs. Above all low crime rate, family unity, resoect for the elderly. Above all, there was no cell phones and internet to tie us down.

And no tats or piercings, no pink and green hair, no rap and hiphop, no garbage music, no trash culture, there were ladies and gentlemen in those days, there were 2 genders and 2 pronouns, the law sided with innocent civilians and victims, politicians were honorable and respectful, we manufactured over half the world's goods and really were the richest country, I could go on and on but you get my drift.

As a kid i always felt black and white was much real because our tv was black and white ... As i got older ...

What a fantastic idea to colorize this feature ... Thank you ... I was able to captivate a true sense of understanding ... Mystery Mountain ... Fisher of Rolando ... Nuclear physicist ... Radio active emissions ... The picture of lincoln and if i am not mistaken General Patton ... The laboratory ... All this added a touch of truth to this movie ... John Agar an incredible actor ...

When I was a kid, my father's friend Lawrence, like to eat cow brains. Tongue, too. When he and dad slaughtered and dressed out one of dad's steers he raised on our farm for meat, Lawrence would use a big axe to crack open the skull and remove the brain.

Some people, self-proclaimed 'purists', say that they hate colorization of movies. When it's done really poorly I agree, i.e. sky turns pink at some times, etc. But when a decent job of it is done it's an improvement on the old b/w original, and this one is good enough to qualify for that. Watching a movie like 'Miracle on 34th Street', a Christmas season movie, in color vs the original b/w is like seeing it for the first time again only better. But anyhow, I enjoyed this colorized 'Brain' movie, and got a kick out of the strings holding the giant brain in the last scene.
