Nu al discussie over het gekozen 1.66:1 aspect ratio voor On The Waterfront:

There's no doubt that the intended theatrical ratio was 1.85. It was also sometimes (wrongly) projected at 1.37 since it was released at the height of the transition. I think there's always been some belief that it looked a little tight at 1.85, and it's certainly logical to assume that framing for the ratio in camera wasn't an exact science yet. For this reason, Grover Crisp recommended Criterion frame it at 1.66. Since they were going with a ratio other than theatrical without the director's consent, they elected to make a feature of it, give options, and discuss the transition.

Wat zou dit nu weer zijn?

Pulp Fiction?

Pulp Fiction?

Dan hadden ze alledrie klein moeten zijn, toch?

[TheGodfather]

Hoe kom je daar zo op?

[TheGodfather]

like three little Fonzies dat zou wel heel cool (no pun intended ) als dat waar zou zijn. Maar waarom staat dan de pijl op de middelste?

Het schijnt Medium Cool te zijn.
