    Technicolor was a company, though. Was it not? It is a brand, company.

    Just like Eastmancolor (Kodak), De Luxe, etc.

    Technicolor, The Company, gives its processes its name.

    In old movies, it is written by whom it is color.

    Color By De Luxe

    Color By Eastmancolor (Sub-brand of Kodak)

    Color By Technicolor

    ETC...


    So Technicolor is a company, a brand.

    Your English is very good, with only a few minor variations in grammar.
    The Turkish family who own our local Kebab shop have been here for 42 years and they still do not understand any words not on the restaurant menu. They just smile at me and say "Yes boss".
    Their daughter (born in England) speaks perfect English. However she is punished if she uses any English words at home. When I suggested that she tried to get her father to use English one day a week at home, she burst out laughing and said, "If I did that, it would be me on the next Kebab skewer".
    When the father ordered new bags for the shop, being head of the household he had to handle it all.
    Everyone is now walking around with bags with both Wimbledon and Merton spelled incorrectly. :):):)

    Today, Technicolor, The Company, is producing electronic tools. Such things.

    Technicolor was sold to the Chinese as far I am concered. I dont know if it was sold to somebody else later again.

    So Technicolor got into different business, using the same name.

    Tecnicolor, De Luxe and Eastman (merged with Kodak) are US processing laboratories, we also had Rank (with the gong) here in the UK.
    They work with the film producers to produce the finished film.

    Kodak, Agfa and Fuji manufacture raw film stock.
    They are not involved in production.

    Technicolor is producing electronic tools today as a brand.

    In 3 strip Technicolor period, Technicolor's cameras were being rented from Technicolor itself.

    And today Technicolor is producing electronic tools.

    I still dont get how it is not the name of the company.

    You would enjoy travelling and I am sure that you would get on well with people in the UK.
    However, if you visited Central London, you would need to learn to speak in Chinese. :):):)
    If you like girls in uniform who drive around in BMW cars, you may even meet our daughter, just ignore the blue lights on the roof ;););)

    Don't get me going...... The Chinese own 95% of our film industry and cinemas, as well as all our street lighting and soon our new nuclear power station.
    They also own around 30% of property in London, as well as several major hotels. The list is endless.
    At least we will never go to war......Why invade a country when you already own it.

    Perhaps I should move to Turkey..

    Technicolor is a company, it worked as part of the film industry, but it did not manufacture the raw film.

    Because of stabbing scene in the movie. Not for kids. The girl gets stabbed continuously too many times.

    If you have a youtube accont, you can watch it, saying you are over 18.


    The movie is color by Technicolor so it is basically ''Death in Technicolor'' :D
