The films that people are complaining about as being Pan & Scan are nothing of the sort. The original negative ratio of the films is 1.37:1 which is APPROXIMATELY the same as the aspect ratio of your TV set. The films were matted on the top and bottom slightly to give a theatrical ratio of 1.66:1 . For home release these films were left open matted which may be full screen but it is hardly pan & scan. I think these films look rather good, a couple of specks here and there through the Shining but hardly anything distracting...no problem with the sound being mono...that's how they were filmed, that's how kubrick wanted them. It's interesting how viewers who want to see the movie the way the director intended it are always so eager to modify that vision when it suits them.All in all a great set for a tremendous kubrick fan...Read more | 27 | |
