Ok, from what I've heard, old movies are filmed in "Open Matte" format, or Full Screen as its well known (and hated).
Scarface is a pretty old movie....20 years old to be exact. So, since Wide Screen is the perferred choice of DVD buyers, would it be wrong to buy the Full Screen version?
I mean, if it was shot in Open Matte, the Full Screen version it is the orginal version....right?
I have the Full Screen version, but right now Im in the process of changing my Full Screen DVDs to Wide Screen, but old movies are meant to be viewed in Full Screen, since they were shot that way.
Stanley Krubrick's films, for example, were shot only in Full Screen and were meant to be viewed that way....
So, what Im saying is, Scarface is the only old movie on DVD I own, and since its filmed in Open Matte, is it worth changing it to Wide Screen, or should I keep the one I have now?
