The Final Cut of the movie ruins the original look of the film. I'm amazed more people haven't commented on this. For example, compare the shot of the outside of Chew's lab:

> Those are the same picture

Not the same picture. Same frame, but different colours.

If you can’t see the defence, you may want to recalibrate your display.

It was a joke.

But on topic, I think “ruin” is too strong. But subjective experience with art is at the core of the concept.
