Why the fuck did this become the standard aspect ratio for movies (Or more the cameras used to film them)? You lose like 40% of the image; it's insanely fucking stupid.

Why the fuck did this become the standard age at wich you can start fucking girls (Or more the age you can film them)? You lose like 40% of how much sex they can have, most are not even hot after 18; it's insanely fucking stupid.

Uh, OK... But what does that have to do with my thread. Quit being a fucking weirdo.

Why the fuck did this become the standard number for the holocaust (Or how many of (((them))) died)? At most 40% of that number died and only due to disease caused by allied bombing; it's insanely fucking stupid.

Comedy would imply something is amusing or funny. That post was neither of those things.

>You lose like 40% of the image;
but you dont loose any of the image when its projected on a wider screen in theaters. The real question is why do tv shows and Netflix movies use letter-boxing to look cool when they know people are going to be watching them on TVs.

You can start fucking girls when youre much younger than this, they just have to be over 18

The widescreen 2.39:1 film aspect ratio was already set in 1970s, way before 16:9 screens were even a thing.
So now you had 4:3 aspect ratio films and 2.39:1 aspect ratio films, and the only inbetween aspect ratio to play both is 16:9 so TVs are made that way so you can play both of them at home.
16:9 is just intended as a compromise between film and traditional (4:3) aspect ratios. It's not intended to be the One True Ratio, but rather a halfway-between on which both TV and film media can be seen effectively.
In short, watch films in theaters, flicks at home.

I'm not being funny, user; but I find it hard to take somebody seriously when they can't even spell lose* in context. Nothing against you, but it severely undermines everything you say when you fuck up something that simple.
-C. Good effort but try harder :)

why not have just one aspect ratio for everything
David Lewis
Because different aspect ratios suit different narratives in films.
A super wide "epic" scaled frame wouldn’t be appropriate for an intimate narrative where two characters are meant to be close together. Or the opposite of a big spectacle film having a smaller slightly claustrophobic frame.
You demanding the same aspect ratio in everything is the same as someone demanding that all paintings are made on an A4 paper format

>It was like this in the 70s before 16:9 screens were even a thing
But... It's not the 70s any more, user. People have MASSIVE televisions in their home now. 2.35:1 is outdated as fuck ans has been for about 2 decades.
>Watch movies at the cinema
Why? You pay a massive premium for being uncomfortable and having to watch your chosen kino with a bunch of strangers. Fuck that.

No, fuck off.
Easton Long
but each frame of a film is different, no? surely "epics" can have smaller romantic moments... then what? either way I don't see how things are filmed for the cinema which is somehow different from the home viewing?
Brody White
This is what I () am asking. Films often change ratios depending on the scene... why is it different from the cinema versus the dvd or whatever else?
Angel King
Well ofcourse that a filmmaker can be dumb and misuse the aspect ratio he's using.
And yes I am also not a fan of aspect ratios changing during the film itself, that doesn't mean all aspect ratios should be the same.
Jacob Green
>either way I don't see how things are filmed for the cinema which is somehow different from the home viewing
Because most people don't have a screen and a projector home, which doesn't give you any illuminated black bars at all.
Brody King
>I'm a smarter filmmaker than Wes Anderson
Your deflection is equalled only by your misplaced arrogance.
Samuel Morris
Where did I say that? I simply said that not all filmmakers use it appropriately.
If I have to single out someone I'd say Michael Bay for that Tranformers sequel where he changes like 5 different aspect ratios in 30 seconds.
