the films of stanley kubrick on dvd: triumph or tragedy? - whiteboard and projection screen combined

The latest film scandal about the Internet involves Stanley Kubrick's latest film series on video tapes and DVDs. The seven-film set --
Including Dr. Lolita.
Strangelove, "2001: Space Odyssey", "orange color of hair", "Barry Linden", "shiny" and "all-metal jacket "---
Released on Warner Home Video in June 26.
Soon after that, howhow was heard.
Purists find that some prints are not-than-
Original shape, corner can be found anywhere. "This long-
"The long-awaited collection has failed in almost every way," wrote Peter M . "
Bracke on Dvdfile. com.
"The basic interpretation of the entire scene reveals a surprising, even shocking, that all parties involved have not worked hard.
"In fact, there are obvious scratches and specs on the DVD version"
"And" shiny.
"What is even more shameful in some ways is that" shiny "and" all-metal jackets "are not packaged on paper ---
That said, they are almost square and fit to fit on the TV screen, rather than the rectangular format that the movie viewer sees in the original version.
From the sound, most movies are out of place. The digital-
The compression technique used on the packaging produced a distracting effect on slower films, especially the slow-paced "Barry Linden ".
"Finally, there are some content and housekeeping issues: a small line removed in the laser disc version" 2001 "has not been corrected;
In addition, while theater trailers include some movies according to laser discs and DVD standards, supporting materials are trivial for getting the final collection from such an important filmmaker.
The DVD presentation is still fascinating: the widescreen effects of "2001" and "Barry Lytro" are aesthetically satisfying;
You did get the trailer in a couple of movies, the most striking of which is "Shining People", the most vibrant movie by surelymoviedom --
Sting preview;
In addition to the director's daughter, Vivian Kubrick, who directed the "make 'spark' documentary," There is also a recorded speech by Arthur C Kubrick
Clark on the "2001" disc.
Digital sound allows Kubrick to use music--
Maybe the bottom.
Part of the way he Movies-
Survive in barbarism
But salon art and entertainment spoke to a Warner Home Video technology expert who asked for anonymity for about 20 years.
He first noticed that Kubrick himself was in a 4-year period.
He hinted that fans were lucky with what they had: while he repeatedly pointed out that he could not speak on behalf of Kubrick, he said he knew the director "because Alu prefers to make his films
"He says scratches on some prints are the best the company can do.
"The film in the 1970 s was poorly handled," he said . "
"A lot of dirt is processed into the original.
He said dryly, "it's interesting that most directors don't remember how their films are.
He said some pieces were eliminated electronically from the print. The format --
Or "aspect ratio "--
The dispute is the most complicated.
Kubrick, one of the world's most meticulous experts in camera, photography and projection, decided how to make his film for the family to watch.
"He basically re-created it for the sake of video," the technical expert said bluntly . ".
On top of that, there is also a problem that plagues purists: except for the "doctor"
Strangelove, "There are two different aspect ratios (
The quality of keeping the DVD when it is released)
There is no "correct" presentation of the Kubrick film, or even the epoch-making "2001 ".
"Because the projection standards for wide-screen movies in Britain and the United States are different. S.
Kubrick's way of shooting his film is expected in various projection formats, or "mattes.
"The most obvious example of this is the DVD version of" TheShining "and" all-metal jacket ".
"TV screens are filled.
Some online complainants accused them of "being criticized and scanned"-i. e.
Presents the main action of a frame centered on TVscreen, even if the theme (
Speak alone, say)
It may initially be far away on one or the other side of the screen version.
Translation and scanning is a distortion: the audience is both deceived by the director's original work and denies a lot of screen content.
But this is not the case here.
It turns out that kubrick's traditional solution is actually to "polish" for the next two films ".
In fact, consumers know more and more about the image, not less: a keen focus on the newsgroup alt.
Kubrick found a helicopter shadow at the bottom right.
For example, the hand corner of the "shiny" opening air scene.
Warner's technicians acknowledge that there is a missing line for "2001" and that there is compression
Technical defects of "Barry Linden.
He explained that in order to integrate a large amount of visual information on the film into a small disc, DVD technology recognized the unchanging parts of the image and coded them for continuous use.
In Barry Linden, a static movie is considered a movie landmark for its candles
Photography, you can see the still plane of color.
It is a distraction and an unpleasant one.
War explanation: movies in their 70 s are sometimes filmed in movies, shaking almost unconsciously when it goes through the camera.
This creates a nasty reality when it comes to digitalization.
The Warner representative said that the "Barry Linden" disc was rejected five times by the company.
Still, I think the critics have a point: If compression creates such interference
The effect of it should not be used.
Finally, the technician said that the mono in most movies is Kubrick's typical aversion to stereo, but the director's distrust of certain sound processes.
In a theater in Detroit, for example, the conversation may end up with the wrong speaker.
In response to this possibility, Kubrick insists on using Mono to a large extent.
The only exception, of course, is "2001", which was originally recorded with six channels and is easily handled by DVD's extravagant audio features.
"Few things to do "(on "2001")Said the technician.
Kubrick's control is different from that of more optimistic filmmakers such as George Lucas.
Marin County tycoon's thxcertificate provides a better film presentation for the audience, and gently recommends the theater owner;
For the phantom threat, he has also put forward numerous technical requirements to promote his film as a carrot.
Kubrick's approach is less optimistic.
Focus on basic human nature.
Regardless of his visual accuracy, he will take steps to eliminate the possibility of human interference.
What is perfectly consistent with his film is the world view of mornianism;
Ironically, it is this rigidity that has led to so much controversy now among his dead. hard fans.
