Yeah. I think that's fair. Although I'm interested to know why they chose 60fps rather than 24. It seems like a flex as opposed to a genuine desire to show fluid movement.
I suspect that, in a very pure way, the study of the colourisation could be an interesting academic pursuit that would reveal more about what we are looking at. Though that would require a ton of work and would still require a fair amount of presumption to be "complete".
But there's the rub. "Modern audiences". Rather than pander to an expectation that things have to look a particular way now surely we should encourage people to see how it was recorded then?
The very fact there is film documentation of a scene in 1896 is interesting in its own right, and for want of a better phrase, it is what it is. This is what footage from over a hundred years ago looks like. I guess I'm not that comfortable with a revisionist history of media.
