Storaro, you sell out! over 3 years ago

@Jacob:
Your text is full of false infos:

“any Ratio from 2.40:1 to 1.33:1 is an acceptable variation on the film”
“The Last Emperor” was filmed via the anamorphic Technovision process with a ratio of 2.39:1. On every aspect ratio under 2.39:1 picture informations will be cut at the right and left sides.

“That said the change from 2.35:1 has not omitted or removed anything,so stop whining”
When you change the format to 2.00:1 you loose picture information.

“You would have seen the film in 2.40:1 if you went to a 70mm equipped theatre.”
When someone has seen the 70mm-Blow up it was in 2.21:1.

@Zachary Phillip Brailsford
“Even if Jacob is wrong, though, it still is true that both Storaro and Bertolucci approved the transfer. There’s no way to deny that. If they wanted it at that ratio, why is it so bad?”

and @Fredo:
“You can criticize him and Bertolucci all you want but I’ll take those masters of cinema over some jackass on the internet any day.”

Tell me both where I criticized the way Storaro handled this transfer? I just wrote that Jacob’s text was full of false technical infos and “There’s no way to deny that.” ;-)

@Fredo
You call me a “jackass”? I thought that the level of the members at TheAuteurs was above the level at other sides. You demonstrated that I was wrong.
