Thank you for those words "time machine". All of a sudden it explained to me why I was so moved by those color pictures by the FSA-OWI photographer. I still remember the first one I saw reproduced in a magazine, years ago.
I had the same feeling when I saw "What Price Glory", a John Ford film in Technicolor, starring James Cagney, about the first world war. This war was supposed to be in black and white, wasn't it? A thing of the past, long gone. In color, even shot in a Hollywood studio, it suddenly becam so REAL.
