For example, the old version of "The Planet of the Apes" by Charlten Heston is very brightly lited. This is in contrast to the remake some years back which shows a movie that is generally very dark and black.

Similarly, all the version of Batman movies are also all very dark. This is quite different from the original Batman movie by Adam West and Burt Ward, which is so much brighter.

Many movies these days are also all very dark. When they are telecasted on television, I need to turn up the brightness and contrast to a high level to see properly the images on screen.

Hey, don't get the wrong idea. These are all good movies. And they are all very well prodiced. The only thing is, why are they are all darker than before?

Why is this so? Can't Hollywood producers make their movies brighter?
