Everything needs to be shown how it was shot.

most films were shot unmatted on a 4:3 negative frame

Seems silly. Just film it at whatever the director / cinematographer wants and then scan it in so ALL the information from the frame is shown.

Then why did pan & scan exist? They should’ve just used the open matte.

brainlet. every movie ever made is cropped to some degree in editing.

depends on what they had access to. some movies also left boom mics and shit in the edges so they werent suitable for fullscreen open matte

I'm more concerned with black bars encoded into the frame. Netflix in particular picks random non-standard aspect ratios for every show.

It should be shown how it was originally released. How it was intended by the director/editors

because it's an edit of the widescreen theatrical cut

They were not shot with that presentation in mind. I want to watch a film with the shot composition the artists intended.

It's retarded. It ruins the composition of the shot

Not the same thing.

i watch whatever i find on the free english streaming movies website i find for convenience and speed

bluray looks like shit

so which version was intended by the director?

I think it would be cool if all movies were released in open matte but were cropped by metadata

The widescreen version. The 4:3 versions just existed for home media when TVs were all that aspect ratio.

You're literally a brainlet

ALL THAT INFORMATION GONE....LIKE TEARS....IN RAIN

every movie used to be shot open matte with an INTENDED a.r. that the film would be composed for and cropped to later
