I hate wide screen DVD%26#39;s and always prefer full screen. Who invented the wide screen view and for what purpose? Does anybody know if this fad will ever fade away?
Answer:
The wide screen version of a DVD is the theatrical cut of the movie. The full screen version uses pan-and-scan methods to frame scenes onto a 4:3 viewing area.
I prefer the wide screen because it _is_ the actual cut seen in theaters. In using pan-and-scan the full screen version cuts out portions of the viewing area that may play a role in understanding a particular scene. May not seem significant to you, but, as a movie purist, I want to be able to see everything the director had intended.
For now, as long as freaks like me exist, this widescreen "fad" will coexist w/ fullscreen. With the continuing tidal wave of widescreen TVs, we%26#39;ll probably see a phaseout of fullscreen movie cuts in favor of widescreen cuts.
Now, which was the "fad? wide screen gives the viewer the ability to see more horrizontily instead of virticaly. Compainies like this because it makes the screen look bigger even though its the same size. People like this because most people would rather see more left and right than the feet of a guy or the sky.
