Ridley Scott: The Only Way to See a Film

Ridley Scott: The Only Way to See a Film:

"In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture. Music and dialogue that doesn't fully reproduce the soundtrack of the original loses an essential element for its appreciation. Simply put, the film loses its power."

Agreed! HOWEVER, at the same time, I think a new kind of film can be made specifically for viewing on handheld devices. For more on this, see my comments quoted in Bob Hick's piece on my digital feature The Farewell Wake.

Small World, Big Bang, Bob Hicks on micro-movies.
