Why can’t movies properly recreate “the old timey look” when trying to pass off new footage for old? Newsreels never look right and it just doesn’t blend well, despite a big budget and plenty of other VFX in the movie.

Cus that would be like trying to draw someone’s finger print, getting all the right equipment for that time period, artificially degrading the footage in a realistic way, it would require a huge amount of attention to detail, way more than is worth. Most of the budget goes on the actors and marketing.
