the "fullscreen" version is not a pan and scan of a 1:85 original negative? Is that true? Did he shoot it Full Frame 4:3 and then just crop off the top and bottom in the theatrical release? And does this mean the 4:3 or "fullscreen" version of the DVD is what was actually shot, i.e. Did some reading today and I keep finding folks who say he shot the film in 4:3 and just "letterboxed" it for the theatrical release.
So I was wondering how the film could look so good in 4:3, when I remember seeing it in theaters back in 1987 in "widescreen". Throw away shots like a helicopter leaving after dropping soldiers off, the way it was framed as they follow the helicopter back into the air, any frame could have been taken out and made into a still that was breath taking.
Was blown away by so many of the shots as far as framing. Just saw Full Metal Jacket last night on HBO, "fullscreen" on a 4:3 TV.
