When the World Turns Color
people in the 1960s when the world changed from black and white to color
A bearded man stares upward in astonishment as the image shifts from black and white to blue-tinted color. The joke exaggerates how people in the 1960s supposedly reacted to the arrival of color film and television, while Mozart’s dramatic Requiem in D Minor, K. 626, “Missa pro defunctis”: III, performed by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and collaborators, makes the transformation feel like a miraculous revelation. It works as a reaction meme for any sudden, overwhelmingly dramatic change.
