Why do people buy full screen movies? Buying a full screen movie is like only buying half a movie. Most movies are filmed in widescreen meaning when you watch them on most TVs there are black bars on the top and bottom of the movie but you are watching the movie are the director intended and how it was shown in the theater. With a full screen movie, the studio has to chop off half of each frame to turn it into a full screen movie thereby only giving you half a movie.

There are exceptions; there is nothing wrong with buying full screen movie if the movie was filmed in full screen. But most movies are filmed in widescreen so we are back to my original question, why do people like watching only half a movie?

Movies should be considered pieces of art and just like how no one would ever consider cutting up the Mona Lisa to fit into a certain size frame the same consideration should be applied to movies.
