What’s everyone’s preference of aspect ratios at home? If it’s not going to take up the whole screen do your prefer the black bars on the sides or top/bottom?
I try to follow the film's original aspect ratio whenever possible.
Sidebars are turrible. Top and bottom bars are acceptable tho it sucks when the movie is only 5 inches tall and the rest of the screen is black. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
I love the movie so much. Criterion Collection when?!?
Great movie! What's everyone's favorite Lukas Moodysson film? For me, it's either the above mentioned movie (also known as "Show Me Love") or "Lilya 4-Ever."

There’s a persistent misconception that the bars are robbing you of screen real estate. The bars allow you to get the full frame. You’re getting more picture, not less. _________________ 14-5-3-12

Not as distracting as when a 4X3 source is stretched to 16x9 to fill the screen. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

True, tho many times it's just superfluous content unless the director filmed it with a widescreen lens. When a movie like that is condensed to achieve a fuller screen, then it's got its own issues. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

To clarify, they ARE robbing you of screen real estate so as not to cut off the outer edges of the picture as originally shot. So you do get all of the image but you get it smaller. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

Always.
Right. I didn’t mean manually adjusting. But rather which one do you like better/would you rather if one was eliminated from filmmaking between 4:3 and the wide cinema ratio of 1.85:1 or 2.23:1.
Personally I think wide often looks better but 4:3 feels bigger so I’ve kinda started to like it more.

I shudder to think what A24 filmmakers would do if we abolished 4:3. _________________ 14-5-3-12

And Zach Snyder. Lol
The way A24 and even some tv shows often use it is really good— I feel like it gives what you’re watching a more intimate/personal feel.

I think in some cases it’s effective but it has become a bit of a parody of itself. I cackled when I heard the Snyder Masturbathon was in 4:3. _________________ 14-5-3-12

Not many times at all. Directors don’t waste frame space and choose their lenses accordingly. 4x3 in films has always been an extraction of original framing for TV and DVD distribution (pre BluRay). Even when they shot TV on film while protecting for 4x3, they still framed for the wider aspect ratio. That’s why they went back remastered so many TV shows for HD in the ‘00’s - a thing I did for a few years. The only intentional exception I am aware of is David Chase as a Producer supposedly insisting they shoot The Wire solely for 4x3. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I think EON Productions Limited and Danjaq LLC will have a say in that.

Not yet but it’s in the queue. I’ve heard mostly good things but also that since it’s pulpy the people who wanted realism don’t like it. I’ll report back once I watch it (nba games and baseball every night have cut down my movie time lol)

But hey, there’s a bright side. After the old quiz show scandal, it became a law that all the footage of game shows where contestants can win something have to be preserved. So if a game show from a little while ago, like say, the Apprentice, had been sold to MGM by its creator, MGM would own the complete video history of the making of that show. Not saying Bezos would have some interest in doing anything with that footage, but there you have it... _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

I lost track of my boxiest aspect ratio indie films of the 2010s thread, but if I remember correctly The Lighthouse just beat out Jauja and Meek's Cutoff. _________________ Under New Management
It is stunningly bad. I can’t believe all those actors were attracted to this thing.
Interesting. That echoes what I've read from a lot of critics I like, but it looks pretty and super indulgent, which are my kryptonite. _________________ Under New Management

Nobody is having fun here. It’s just a story you’ve seen a million times before done poorly. You’ll see every twist coming from a mile away. Looks horrible. It plays like a bad stage adaptation of a student film with a big budget. _________________ 14-5-3-12
