How it's used
Refers specifically to classic cinema produced before the widespread adoption of color film. While it literally describes the visual style, it often carries a nostalgic connotation for older generations or film buffs who appreciate vintage aesthetics. It is rarely used to describe modern artistic choices that happen to be monochromatic, where terms like 黑白攝影 might be preferred.
