In Reply to: Why is 2.35:1 so overused on DVDs? posted by Carl Eber on December 17, 2001 at 20:07:50:
Episode 1 WAS intended to be viewed in 2:35 to 1. The 35 mm print you most likely saw at the theatre was cropped either cropped by the projectionist OR was printed that way by 20th Century!!!
this is why, for better or worse, we need the THX standards in more theatres!
Damn (sleeper by day- law enforcement and part time projectionist by night)
Follow Ups:
I saw it in two different THX theaters, and it definitely wasn't cropped.
You're wrong, the DVD is cropped off the top and bottom (as I say in the original post)...what I saw in the theater was NOT cropped. Being a projectionist doesn't mean you're automatically correct on this subject...did you see the film in the theater; did you actually watch it...all of it?
I've seen the movie many times, as I actually watch this stuff, and not sit there and do stupid things that some guys do (drink beer, pick lint out of my navel, talk on the phone- I've seen many other guys in the biz do those things, no kidding!). I've seen the movie about a dozen times and have seen it in 2:33 AND 1:85 ratios.I don't think there is going to be a definate resolution on this. I can only guess that Lucas obviously wants all his Saga movies to have a uniformness when it comes to home release.
Dman
I just wonder why it "must" be cropped. I suppose he shot it intending to crop it for video release...but that's an assenine thing to do, heh heh.Thanks for taking the time to participate here.
