The cinema was invented by the Lumiere brothers in 1895, so far unclear.
The first film was shot: The workers leaving the factory, hitherto entirely clear.
A movie is neither more nor less than projected still images one after another, 24 per second, giving sensational movement.
People fled in terror with the projection of a train approaching the screen, since they believed that this was going to leave it and running over everyone.
A great invention.
The filmmakers made films and people saw them on film, so far unclear.
Then, in the mid 20's, television was invented, with very rudimentary systems. And
mid-twentieth century we have the television, almost, as it is known today.
That's when he started a "war" between television and film.
And in 1953, against this powerful enemy conbatir film, Henry Koster directs The Robe, the first film shot in cinemascope.
And what is the cinemascope? Well
is a film that compresses a normal image, which when decompressed during projection can achieve a ratio which can vary between 2.66 and 2.39 times wider than high.
The film showed us panoramic images, rectangular, wider than long, images that filled our eyes.
What television did to avenge such an act?
mutilate.
me explain ...
Here in this picture looks different types of image that we can find:
More or less what we are seeing right?
Visualize because it is a movie screen.
is a big white rectangle hung on a wall, and we can find, usually with these types of images:
Sample image
2.35 / 1 O that is, 2.35 times longer tall.
Example 1.85 / 1 O which equals 1.85 times longer than high (the aspect of modern image of the televisions in 19 / 9)
Example 1.33 / 1 or which equals 1.33 times wider than high. (The picture looks old television 4 / 3)
few years ago, when a movie is spent its passage film to VHS obsolete, was literally crippled.
Well, there are two ways to pass a widescreen display, either 2.35 / 1 or 1.85 / 1 TV format 1.33 / 1.
One is to leave it intact, as the director's plan and put that many people have defined as "annoying scratches up and down the screen, or cut from one side to another to make a rectangular image in a square.
Here are some examples of the latter:
There were a few directors who opposed his film was mutilated, people like Steven Spielberg, who demanded that the list Schindler VHS hit the market in its original aspect (1.85 / 1), Mel Gibson, who did the same with Braveheart (2.35 / 1), or George Lucas himself in the latest editions of the trilogy galactic VHS (2.35 / 1 .)
Then God came to see us movie lovers with the release of the DVD format home theater respected by 99.9% of its titles on widescreen movies.
Only very occasionally can find titles like Insomnia by Christopher Nolan, that of a 2.35 / 1 have left us in a 1.85 / 1, or films such as THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, which directly has been completely crippled.
avenging Television is still less maim scale television series like House, Grey's Anatomy 24, which have to be issued at 1.85 / 1 was issued at 1.33 / 1.
(For those of you a TV-16 / 9 you can put the image in 4 / 3, and everything you see in black is what you are tango).
So film buffs or people who do not want to direct anyone to decide that much of the image must see in a movie, choose movies that respect the original image aspect and stop nagging.
I hope you found it interesting the subject.
I put here an example in motion.
And here one in which directors such as Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann, Curtis Hanson and Sydney Pollack explains how bad it is to remove the widescreen format movies.
