Need help proving bull****

Okay, so here is the dealio.

Recently, a teacher said the reason the colours within the movie 'City of God' are so intense is because the movie was shot in high definition. Now, I'm no tech-whizz, but I know that movies are simply not 'shot in hugh definition', but that it has something to do with encoding and formatting after production. Can someone please explain this to me? Cheers

There was also very likely post processing editting to the colors, photoshopped if you will. It happens all the time and is a tool to help stimulate an atmoshpere.
