#2This is amazing to watch.

#3I was very disappointed. The overlayed music doesn't match the film period or the visual tone at all.

#5I get that they were trying to focus on staging, but unlike old silent films, this is very hard to follow without dialog cards, if you've never seen the original. Also, the music really doesn't fit.

#9Oh, and I’ve removed all sound and color from the film, apart from a score designed to aid you in your quest to just study the visual staging aspect.
Note that the music is only intended to be filler.
Otherwise, watching this in black and white really made obvious how well staged and choreographed the film is. I don’t consider myself much of a Spielberg fan, but I was impressed.
If the music bothers you, try the section at 1:22:35. It goes pretty well with that scene.

#10Positives: great idea. it really makes you notice the beats in each scene. The ups downs ups downs. Spielberg is so good at that.
The negatives: music does not fit at all. No dialogue. Would love to see a more deliberate attempt at making this an old b&w movie.
