FNIT DVD WS vs. FS details
« on: May 10, 2006, 03:25 PM »
I'm too lazy to check if this was discussed before, but someone on IMDB scrutinized the full-frame and widescreen versions of the movie and noticed that the full frame version actually had more visible details in the bottom of the screen where the WS one has it cut off.  You can apparently see more of what Jack does with Ennis' shirt or forearm while he was on all fours.  Anyone noticed that?

Yes. I have both...you can see the arm business much more clearly...especially in slo-mo.

Here's an example of what you're missing in the WS vs FS versions. Sorry I don't have one of the scene in question...

Very good !
Legs too.  Several scenes where you see more of Jack's legs.  Sigh !
More of his hands in FNIT too !  That in itself is enough to get the full screne version.
And, I ain't fooling ! ;D

Not fair - full screen version isn't available in the UK, as far as I can see :(

As in France we always have widescreens, I need to get a US DVD, and a zone 1 DVD player...  :P

I'm with you.  The damn trailer makes me cry more than the movie !  WTF ?  :(

Anxious to see what you think of the FS versus WS. 
Did you notice Ennis's fingers showing during the first kiss in SNIT?
More of Jack's hand cradling Ennis's head after he rolls on top of him for that
kiss.  WHew !

Yes. I have both...you can see the arm business much more clearly...especially in slo-mo.

I bought and watched both.  FS was better...donated WS to the library  ;D
And yes you can see Jack hanging onto Ennis' arm, he almost puts his lips on Ennis' hand.

I didn't notice that until I got the FS- much better in the FS version.
