I think it’s interesting to see the restoration of these films, and for regular people it helps them immerse themselves in into the past and gives them a better understanding of what life was like (or what life could've been like if you lived in that era). I do believe it makes it more interesting for people, but I don’t think its unethical or lying to the viewer, as long as they know that it’s a restoration and not the original piece. Personally, I don’t really like the colorized or higher frame rate restored films, just because it doesn’t look natural to me (especially if it’s done by AI). I do like the films that are restored, but when it has its original coloring and frame rate. For example, the “IMAX” 65mm films we watched looked very similar to how films look today (in terms of quality and frame rate), but it didn’t look unnatural.
