a film was shot with a particular frame .. the aesthetic makeup of each shot is based on that frame ...
and then someone comes along and shears off over 1/3 of the picture.
it has a lot more to do with losing a bird in the corner.
you are losing the artistic vision of the filmmaker .. the balance, the composition ... everything ...
i'll have a full screen movie if i cant avoid it - but i'd rather avoid it .. snobbery has nothing to do with it ...
before there was a concept of 'formatting for the tv' you'd see older movies with the titles half cut off and more because no one thought it would be seen anywhere other than on a large screen.
